Hello, and I'm new here to both the Forums and Wink, and perhaps use some tips and pointers, on a few questions.
1. Does anyone know of a Wink dedicated support forums? Perhaps the Admins here could begin thinking on a specific subforums for Home Automation and Wink, ST, Insteon etc.
2. Installing the Wink Relay. I've read the instructions, and while it say it needs to be installed/replace a Switch that does not connect to an AC outlet. Does anyone know if it actually can be? Every 'available' switch in my home is connected to an AC outlet. My only other switch options are either 3-way switches, a dimmer switch, or 3-gange box with 3 switches in it.
3. Has anyone hacked/rooted their Wink? I read over here on hacking the box so you can use it without an internet connection. but i'm not sure yet if the hack then removes it from Wink Cloud and internet or not. if you hack it, can you still use the WinkApp, plus OpenHab? I think they ability to use when internet is down critical. Internet may be down, but your home wifi is still communicating to devices, so should still be able to control things.
