You can't. Stringify can be used as a bridge as well as Alexa.

Harmony does sell the Harmony Home extender that has Wink integration. It's basically Harmony's version of a hub...but Zigbee devices can only be on 1 hub or the other.

You might have me confused with someone else. I only have GE smart switches in my house.

wink hub 1, wink hub 2, wink relay and wink app on both iOS and android all getting updates today.

probably to add the august lock but i'm hoping it will bring some stability back.

just noticed yesterday both of my tapts are offline as well as both outlinks.

also showing one of my link bulbs is offline but its still responding to robots and schedules and when i click on it in the app.

I know it's just an announcement but the lack of Lutron was the deciding factor that made me go with wink. Now that it's allegedly coming im wondering if I picked wrong. Seems like smart things just has more behind it in terms of support.

Smart things currently lacks a lutron antenna.

Any implementation would be in the form of an as yet unannounced new hub you would need to purchase.

It is going to be cloud to cloud with the existing Lutron hub is my understanding.

I actually have the Lutron hub sitting in a box because it came with a kit that I bought haven't needed it with the wink.

Cad, when your stuff shows offline in Wink, does Wink still control it as if it were connected?

When I was using Wink several things would report offline, however the app still controlled them no problem.

just pointing out having to BUY A LUTRON HUB plus integrate with their cloud is a more expensive/less elegant solution for one of the most robust HA vendors out there.

and i was pointing out smart things is on par with wink as far as hue goes so why not go with a hub that at least supports lutron natively?
