No idea, I was looking at that myself (including the GE Link bulbs) and considering ditching the Wink system but I'm waiting for them to ship before I do that and check the reviews...I personally don't trust anything software wise from Samsung.
The GE Link bulbs definitely are compatible with it. I've received my ST v2 kit but haven't opened it yet. Hope to get some time to play with it this weekend, but I did learn a few things from their forums last night:
1. Local control - local control only works under very specific circumstances. Apparently you have to have specific devices and specific apps (apparently, ST uses an app model for their devices). That kind of pisses me off, though people are saying it is very fast.
2. As you mentioned above, people are complaining about the software and that it is confusing and doesn't make much sense.
I'm even wondering if I should just resell the kit on eBay - I'd get more than I paid for it at this stage and that will probably be true for a few months since I only paid $99 for the hub, a motion sensor, and a window/door sensor. However, I'm still not convinced of Wink's long-term viability so I'll probably end up holding on to it, running some tests, and posting my impressions here.
