What's the verdict on the Wink Trippers? I got in on the 50% off coupon but haven't mounted mine yet since they're not flush against the door/jam.
Should I keep the 3 sets or return them?
The trippers work great for me. Response time is usually fast but as usual that depends on latency to winks servers. Only beef I have is the battery life witch they say they are working on a fix for

For the price and physical size (nice and small) they are excellent. I ended up peeling off the included 3m tape and used 3m command velcro strips. The velcro allows the base of the Tripper to be angled down a little if your door has obtrusive molding and it will make battery changing very easy a year from now.
The next time they run a good discount I may buy another pack or two, I've got an idea about making an "ON AIR" light box that would activate based on tripper status.
I have been using this http://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Exterio.../dp/B00004Z4BV if you need something that has a real good hold. It is what I used putting a tripper in my mailbox.
How far is your mailbox from your house? That is a brilliant idea! Sadly it wouldn't work for me as my subdivision uses those horrible cluster units.
Nice. I wanted a tripper specifically for my mailbox.Its roughly 50' Im sure this is pushing the limit. But despite being in the middle of winter it is still working great.
Sorry if I missed above but what is the range on the trippers?
Anyway, I've been using my Wink now for about 6 weeks and having no complaints at all. As mentioned, I only use it to turn lights on and off twice/day (6 exterior lights). They're always on when expected.Nice. I wanted a tripper specifically for my mailbox.
Not paying $50 for two, though. Will wait to see if I catch a hot deal on them at some point.
I have not seen what the listed range is on them. Given how much detail and instruction wink gives us on any of their products I would not expect to hear much. I just figure for a low power device intended for a mesh network that is probably a little far.
The trippers are $40 shipped and in stock on amazon right now. Hard to bead for $20 a piece.

My guess it's to compete with the Wemo hub, but I agree that's there's not much of a cost difference with the full hub(mine was free with 2 bulbs).I'm having a hard time understanding the point of it.

Can I connect Zigbee products other than what is listed on the Wink Products page?
The Wink HUB Light currently only supports the GE Link Bulb. Future support will include Tapt, Outlink and Trigger.
Can I connect more than one Wink HUB Lite to my Wink account?
Yes! When you have multiple Wink HUB Lites connected to your Wink account, simply choose which Wink HUB Lite you would like to use during pairing.
I noticed that the robot which is designed to turn on my lights if my garage door opens between 6:30 and 11 PM seems to trigger the light outside of that timeframe. Kind of annoying.
smhawkes,
Which motion sensor are you using? Can you post the model # and/or link?
