You only get a DimmerTWLight1 device( and the control) if you have a dimmer (bulb) that reports as:
otherwise, you get the standard DimmableLight1 device.
What bulbs do you have that are Tunable White??
Considering that those links are to the Canadian site…
For example, the GE Link A19 2700K bulbs are $14.95USD on the US site… with exchange, that’s $19.95CDN… In-store in Canada they are $21,97… a $2.00CDN premium…
The Ecosmart Tunable White is $21.98CDN… So they are a better value than the GE Link…
As for the RGBW bulb at $34.95CDN… To compare, the Linear Soft White A19 (Z-Wave) is $48CDN (Wholesale), the Osram TW is $39.99 (retail) and the Philips Hue is $60CDN (retail)… So the Ecosmart bulbs are a (comparative) good value…
The retail availability of “smart home” products is poor… At least HD is stocking products… Lowes has not brought their smart home products to Canada yet. Ordering from the US can be cheaper for the product itself, but loses the advantage when you factor in shipping and customs fees (unless you happen to find someone offering good prices and cheap shipping).
Up here, “smart home” is not inexpensive…
As far as the Ecosmart bulbs are concerned… I like them… a lot! I have had 4 out of 6 GE Link bulbs fail… All were replaced with the Ecosmart… and they’ve been working without issue… and they are brighter than the GE or the Cree bulbs…
Cybr… are you going to make the plugin ‘auto update’? There are a lot of files to manually upload… and I find it Vera has issues if you only upload one or two and not the entire set.
No. I am not.
The reason is simple… Auto Update is a BAD thing…
You can manually initiate a plugin update from the App Marketplace… See the documentation HERE (specifically, the “Automatic” update section)

I just updated your plugin from 0.19 after reading about new partial UI5 support for the tunable white feature.
I have the OSRAM (Sylvania?) Lightify Tunable White which the device file is: D_DimmableLight1.xml. It is being controlled via Wink Connect []
With PLEG & your great plugin, I can auto control the on/off & dimmable features. The tunable portion can only be controlled via the Wink app on my android phone.
Does your quote above mean my particular brand of bulb’s tunable white can not be supported, or can it possibly be configured to be supported?
If not, your interface to the Wink hub is still way cool. I’ll buy some supported bulbs in the future.
Thanks,
Chris

Tunable White and RGBW support was developed with the Ecosmart bulbs as a model…
Both the Ecosmart Tunable White and RGBW report as being “color_changeable”, so that is what I used for the indicator that the bulb can be tuned.
Obviously, The Osram bulb, and whatever bulb that Aaron is using, does not report as a color_changeable bulb.
To ensure support, please turn on debug mode in the plugin, trigger a reload or a resync, and post the LuaUPnP log output for the getDeviceListRemote funtion.
I am also not happy with:
I hope to have these issue corrected soon.
Also, Since I am using a custom deviceID for the tunable devices, and Mios does not appear to have created a specific deviceId for them, I am going to be changing the device definition so that the tunable bulbs will also use the DimmableRGBLight1 deviceId.
No. I am not.

the last version on the MIOS site is .20 … no way to update without uploading all files manually… which almost always causes problems for me. I suspect it misses one or two files and hoses things. Can you publish your minor updates and post the direct links to manually update?
All bugfix/development/test/experimental releases are cumulative to the App Marketplace stable release.
I am not going to publish each test/bugfix update to the marketplace… App Marketplace approval can take over a week… not a very responsive system… AND not everyone want to try the new features right away… The app marketplace version is the (relatively) stable baseline for everyone to use.
Added features/bugfixes/new device support/API fixes/experimental releases are all released for manual installation only. Each released zip file will have (unless otherwise stated in the release post) ALL of the files required for the package. The release post will include a changed/added file list… This is the list of files that has changed from the previous version… If you are on the previous version, these are the only files you need to upload… If you are on the base version, you need to upload all the changed files from all the preceding releases as well.
When you manually update the plugin, the plugin will tell you if you do not have the correct files installed on your Vera (Status: MISMATCHED FILES)… When you get a “MISMATCHED FILES” status, go to the Settings/Device Summary page of the Wink Connect device, and it will tell you which files still need to be uploaded.

Is the plugin supposed to pull in Groups? If not, can you set it up to do so? Since individual lights are Zigbee enabled, the only efficient way to control a large room of lights is via Groups.
thx!

Yes, I use a couple groups and they work. You do have to enable groups support though in the settings…

Installed Wink and Wink Relay. Both devices show up in Vera using WinkConnect and devices show up that are in my Wink account. I am having 2 issues:
This is a great plugin and is allowing me to add Lutron Caseta lights and remotes, which I like a lot. Would be great if I could get the 2 small issues fixed, any advice?
Another minor issue; Humidity seems to report as 0% in the Wink Relay virtual device in Vera, but in the Advanced area for the device the Current Level seems to report the correct Humidity.

Figured out work around for 1. above - I just created a Shortcut in Wink for the Light On and Light Off and then if I enable shortcuts in Vera for Wink I get access to being able to turn the light On and Off. Not ideal, but works for now.

The picture of the device that you posted (labeled “Quirky Spotter”) is the control device… Click on the Summary tab… It will show you what devices are attached to your Wink account… The devices listed in the summary are the actual devices that the plugin recognizes, and that you can use…
If the Spotter does not appear in the summary, you will need to post the LuaUPnP log (showing the complete plugin startup) so I can see what data is reported by the Wink API servers and how the plugin is interpreting it.
The switches in the Wink Relay only get Vera devices assigned to them if they are: 1) reported by the Wink API servers, 2) do not have their “powering_mode” set to “none” or “smart” and 3) Is not marked as hidden. With the mode set to either of these modes, the switch is not controllable, so having a control device does not make any sense.
If you think the switch should appear, post (IN A NEW THREAD) your LuaUPnP log showing the full plugin startup.
The smart button display (The two buttons labeled “Button 1” and “Button 2”) in the Wink Relay device are not implemented as controls. They change state to reflect the button presses on the Wink Relay, but do not trigger any action on the Wink Relay… (I originally added them as a debugging aid… and like the way the device looks in the UI, so I never removed them)
The buttons on the Wink Relay can be used as triggers for a scene (UI5: add trigger → (Wink Relay Device) → “Smart Button #x is Pressed” - UI7: select a trigger → Device → (Wink Relay Device) → “Smart Button #x is Pressed”), or to generate a notification.
This is a Wink API issue… The sensor data is NOT always reported properly, or (in some circumstances) at all, by the Wink API servers. Wink is aware of the issue, but it has not yet been resolved. I have releases several experimental versions of the plugin (NOT in the LATEST VERSION thread) to try to address this issue, but a reliable workaround has not yet been discovered.
Thanks for the reply, appreciated.
Will post separate thread on Wink Relay regarding psychical light connected to Relay. It is set for Default Configuration in Wink and shows up in Wink App as a light. Have to be honest I am not sure where it would be marked as 'hidden".
One additional issue I ran into; when I add my Dropcam Pros to Wink and I resynch the Plugin, I lose my Wink Relay for some reason.
