WINK hub compatibility

[Allen Massey]

Can the Wireless Sensor Hub and a Wink hub coexist in the same house?  i.e. they are not both using the same frequency or would somehow interfere with each other?

I am asking because there are more and more things being attached to the Wink hub.  For example I just saw that the Ascend Garage Door controller from Quirky needs a Wink hub.

I don’t know the frequency the Wink operates on, but the tag hub can be configured to use a range of frequencies and transmission modes (more robust vs more range). Shouldn’t be any problem.

The Wink hub uses different wireless protocol than ours, so you will still need Ethernet tag manager to use the tags, the tags will never directly talk with the Wink hub.

That said, Wink provides OAuth2/JSON based API which makes it easy to integrate in the Internet level, similar to what we integrate with Nest Thermostat or Twitter. 

However the API is one-directional, so it is not possible to make each Wireless Tag controllable from the Wink App. 

What we can probably do is similar to what we are doing with WeMo switches, i.e. add Wink devices (thermostats, bulbs) as a "virtual" tag entry in our app and allow you to use KumoApp to write automation rules. Is this what you are looking for?

I'm actually interested in this integration to at least show the temperature in the Wink App.

The integration you suggest would be great as well to control devices.  Although I do think this can be pulled off using Wink Shortcuts and IF.  

Any plans on doing any integration here?

Folks,

Any updates here?  What is the current mentality to connecting wireless sensor tags to the Wink Hub?
