Has anyone seen any documentation or hacks of the Quirky Nimbus? I got one fairly cheaply off eBay and just got it set up. Has tons of potential if it just had a couple of local APIs or Wink APIs but it seems to be abandoned. There is an IFTTT 'channel' so remote action is possible. I'll spend some time on that.
Finally sat down with my broken Caseta light switch tonight. Everything looked fine with wiring, tested everything, solid connections etc. Wiggled stuff around a bit & it suddenly started working. I suspect something is a bit loose within the sealed white box under the buttons, and it must have gotten knocked out a bit during normal use. Not sure what else without really tearing apart the whole switch, so since it's working for now, I put it back in the wall. Happy to have my Pico remote back in action!
Amazing how much more solid a $1 light switch feels haha.
Ouch, I ordered two of them for some remodeling we did. I hope they work fine!
Below is an email I sent Wink:
I have a problem with the "Wink Shortcut" in IFTTT. I was using a shortcut created in Wink to close my garage (MyQ) in IFTTT at a certain time that worked very well until Wednesday 4-29th. The IFTTT recipe stopped working and I discovered the shortcut was no longer available to use in IFTTT. I deleted the shortcut and recreated it in Wink. I deleted the recipe in IFTTT and tried to recreate it, but the shortcut to close my garage is still missing. I'm guessing that Wink removed it for the same reason that closing the garage is not allowed as a scheduled activity in the Wink app. Is that correct? Can I get the shortcut available in IFTTT again?
no offense to anyone that prefers Lutron, but that is part of the reason I chose Leviton. They feel of better quality and feel like they will stand up better to repeated use over time. The Lutrons just feel very cheap to me.
I've said it a few times, but I've got a house full of Lutrons. Some (in the kid's rooms or playroom... we have a 3 year old and a 2 year old) get played with by the kids. On.. off.. on... off... on... off...
They still work as if new. I know they do feel cheaper because the buttons are slightly wobbly, but they seem to hold up to excessive use quite well.
This issue isn't specific to Wink, but I bought the Chamberlain MyQ setup and now when severe storms come through, I get erroneously notified that my garage door has just closed even though the door hasn't physically moved. I suspect it has something to do with either thunder rattling the door or lightning causing some kind of interference between the door sensor and the MyQ unit. I woke up one morning to numerous erroneous notifications. It's a little disconcerting not knowing when to trust the thing. Anyone else having this issue?

They do feel cheap. I had a hard time getting the buttons angled in flat properly again. I think part of the reason they feel cheap is the style of button switches they used. However, I really like the Pico remotes, so that makes up for it. I have not purchased any more, however. I hate not having a flip switch! This is what I'm considering trying next, although I'd hate to spend nearly fifty bucks to find out it doesn't work with Wink...

Have you looked at these?

You can put them behind pretty much any switch that you want. Several different versions dimmer/binary/with and without power usage reporting (the latter of which won't report to Wink) and one which combines two switches. They are supposed to work with Wink. I have some on the way, we'll see.
Kaido, the Stables hub allowed PICOs to control things other than Lutron switches. I really don't think there's licensing issues. That is a feature request Wink knows about, but I get the impression that hub/app stability are currently the priorities.
Am I correct in assuming that the Lutron switch does not require a smart hub to work correctly?
My dilemma: With a wink hub with a gocontrol door sensor, when a patio door is left open, want a Honeywell WI-FI thermostat to be disabled using a wink app robot ? If not could I use a zwave controlled low voltage relay to turn on and off the 24volts to the thermostat using a wink app robot?
Thanks, Keith S
