Wink all over again

Now need a MAX subscription model for new features and new hardware support for sub-par switches you have all ready purchased and installed in your wall. Reminds me of some other company who did the same. Wink, Wink!

Bad wtf

Rough design I dont recommend Brilliant at all. My neighbors hate it too.

Good but Complicated

I have had the system in multiple rooms for a few years. Programming is complicated. One single that ties into a second controller has not yet been successfully programmed. Some integration with other products is not straightforward. Hope the system matures and more people adopt it - which will help ensure its future.

When it works it's good

When it doesn't, randomly stops working for a day, it sucks.
