Honestly, I think if Wink were to fully and completely separate from Quirky (assuming they had the funding or a buyer), that would be one of the best things for them. Quirky often seems to get in the way of what Wink wants to do because Quirky keeps making Quirky versions of things that already exist.
For example... I love Tripper overall, but how is it an 'invention'? There was a lot of marketing push behind Tripper from Wink. That seems like wasted effort given how many other door/window sensors already existed. Why Tapt or Outlink? We already have countless Zigbee and Z-Wave versions of the same thing.
Take that effort, spend it on the Hub or Relay.. or the App.
well said
