My Home Depot has all the Wink compatible stuff right up front, across from the customer service desk. It may be to reduce theft, but it's pretty well stocked.
I'll be honest - I've gone into a couple of different Home Depots and it is really hard to even locate the Wink stuff. It is almost like they don't even carry it or have it stashed in a corner somewhere.

Does anyone know what water sensors are confirmed compatible with the Wink?
The Overflow is no longer available and no alternatives are listed on the Wink website.

If you have Meijer stores near you, check them out. Of the 3 stores near me, 2 had Overflows in stock (I bought 2 of the 4 I saw).
Unfortunately, no, none within 10 hours drive.
Anyone know of anything else that works??
I don't know of any compatible water sensors other than Overflow. If you post on the Wink Facebook group, someone may be willing to sell you one. They go pretty quickly though. I probably should've bought the other 2 I saw but I bet they're still at the store.
Good suggestion thanks. Successfully found two.
Now hopefully someone over at Wink makes the executive decision to broaden device support now that it looks like they won't be making their own any more.
Echo is great for lights. She/it can turn on/off any Wink device and dim Hue bulbs, but would be nice if she could dim anything connected to the Wink. Hoping for Nest thermostat connectivity, too.
The Echo app is used to configure rooms, but unfortunately doesn't pull room configuration off the Wink, so you have to recreate groups.
Can Alexa set light schedules? For example can you say:
"Alexa - set lighting schedule for porch light to come on daily at 9pm"
or is limited to more basic commands such as:
"Alexa - turn on porch light"
Thanks for your feedback.
As of now, it's just basic commands. I have a group called "Outside" so I give exactly your example... "Alexa, turn on the outside lights."
Basic, but it works. You can put any lights in to any group you want, and each light can exist in more than one group. I've got groups for individual rooms, groups of lights in individual rooms, and groups for multiple lights in multiple rooms ("upstairs", "downstairs", "main floor"). This is independent from the groups in the Wink app. It's both good and bad.
Not that I'm an expert, but what I've read suggests the Echo platform is designed in such a way that new capabilities can be added by developers. For example, Nest could develop interaction that would allow you to give commands to set temp, home/away state, cool/heat, etc. GE/Wink could, if they devote developer resources, add such capabilities I'm guessing. I suppose we'll see.
FYI, the Wink Relay is $99 now through Thursday with code WinkRelay$99.

So very, very tempting. Not sure where'd I'd put it though. I don't have a good place - at least not one that would be spouse-approved.
My HD store use to have them in that same spot accross from customer service, but now they are all gone to an somewhere.My Home Depot has all the Wink compatible stuff right up front, across from the customer service desk. It may be to reduce theft, but it's pretty well stocked.
