That is the major bug with the Wink API servers…
If you have a Wink Relay on your account AND you add a device to your Wink account that:
Is a combo device (A device that exposes multiple components)
Is not a Wink Relay
contains a component that the API considers to be a sensor pod
Then the Wink API will no longer report the presence of the sensor pod component for the Wink Relay(s).
Devices that trigger this bug include the DropCam and the Ring Video Doorbell.
The latest release of the plugin uses the presence of the sensor pod to create the Wink Relay device. This behavior, and a partial workaround for the unreported sensor pod, has been added to an experimental realease HERE
To use the experimental release…
1 ) Remove the DropCam/Ring Video Doorbell from you Wink Account.
2 ) On your Vera, reload the LuaUPnP engine.
3 ) Allow the Vera to reconfigure… The LuaUPnP engine may automatically restart several times.
4 ) refresh your browser (F5 or CTRL-F5)
5 ) Your Vera should now have a Wink Relay device. If not, go back to step 2.
6 ) Upload the experimental release of the plugin to your Vera. Ensure that you check the option to reload the LuaUPnP engine.
7 ) Verify that the plugin version is at v0.20.40 (or greater).
8 ) Add your DropCam/Ring Video Doorbell to your Wink Account
9 ) On your Vera, go to the Wink Connect device setup page and click on “Resync”
10) Allow the Vera to reconfigure… The LuaUPnP engine may automatically restart several times.
11) refresh your browser (F5 or CTRL-F5)
this is all the screens. With that hope I can help me. Thank you again![/quote]
The state of the screens shows that you have not followed the instructions given to you by the Wink Connect device.
You MUST reload the LuaUPnP engine AND refresh your browser when you install the plugin OR when you change the configuration (ie: add devices to the Wink Account)!!
I had the plugin working fine (on 0.18) for quite a while until yesterday when my Amazon Echo couldn’t find my lights to turn on/off. When I went into my Wink App, I then realized my Wink Hub no longer was receiving the devices associated with my Vera. When I logged into my Vera Lite (UI5), I could, still control the Wink devices from the Vera Lite.
After searching this forum, I essentially did the following: I first excluded and then re-added the Wink as a secondary controller. I could see in the status window it recognized the controller but I never saw the Vera devices ever populating the Wink Hub. I did reload the Vera a few times as well as force stop the Wink App.
The next step was to uninstall the plugin and reinstall it from the “AppStore”. The version on the store is 0.20 compared to the 0.18 I had previously. Once again, all of the Wink devices showed up in Vera and I could control them. (I did a reload after the plugin install as instructed) When I added the Wink Hub as a secondary controller, it still wouldn’t see my Vera devices. I did reload Vera several times as well as force stop the Wink app on my phone to no availa
I have this set up and running on an OSX machine and it works great. I have also set it up for testing on a Raspberry Pi, but response to the voice commands was not as fast.

Anyone seen this or have any guidance?[/quote]
Just as Chimpware has stated the newest firmware on the Wink hub does not allow it to be setup as a secondary z-wave controller. This is an issue with Wink and not the Wink Connect plug-in. I’ve sent a message to a Wink rep to see if this was an intentional change or if this feature will be returning.
[quote=“jokeman3000, post:674, topic:185289”]I apologize if this has already been discussed, but is there a plan to add ring support through the wink plugin?
Currently when adding ring to wink it shows up as a motion sensor among other things, would love to see this added to the plugin.[/quote]
What part of the Ring are you referring to? Currently, the motion sensor and button show up in Vera using Wink Connect. I’ll assume you’re referring to the video feed, and no that won’t be happening unless Ring allow access to it. You can’t even view live video from their app (unless motion is detected or someone rings the doorbell).
[quote=“jokeman3000, post:676, topic:185289”]For whatever reason my motion detector didn’t create, I assumed it was due to lack of integration. I guess I’ll try again!
Wink also notifies on doorbell ring, is that integrated?[/quote]
I found the duplicate notifications from Wink and Ring to be annoying, but if you want Vera to notify you that the button was pressed you could setup a scene to do that if you wanted.
I just noticed that the version I’m running (that Cybrmage implemented Ring support in) isn’t listed in the LATEST VERSION thread either. Make sure you’re running v0.20.40 to get your Ring device to show up. Link to that thread below.
I sent an email to Wink Support about support for Wink as a Secondary Controller and asked if it had it changed recently. They said that Wink is “meant to be a primary controller” but it “Should work as a secondary controller with a possibly loss in functionality” and they are not aware of any changes in their software which might affect this.
This might be the case of this particular support person not knowing what is really going on but I thought it might be good feedback to the forum. I’m going to try and follow up with them to see if I can ask in a different way if the Wink Hub can learn devices from another primary hub (aka Vera). I’ll report back if I find anything.
I’ve asked support before and they had no idea what I was talking about. I asked the Wink rep on the Wink Users Group on Facebook and she said she doesn’t know anyone that uses but it “should” work. May be worth trying to get to a higher level of support to get someone that knows what they’re talking about.
