Built in security means a Wink Mod device can only be registered with one mobile device at any one time to prevent unauthorised operation. Once connected, the app will automatically reconnect with your Wink Mod when opened. On newer Wink Mods, you can also update the Wink Mod firmware should a new version become available.
