upstatemike WOW! That is something. Thanks for posting. Love the HomeBrain. I suggest you leave it as is and update the documentation.

WINK SUCKS! I grew up with X10 and chose WINK when it came out because it was easy and because it could handle multiple protocols. It was a cheap hub and I could use relatively cheap parts. For the first year I loved it. Then the hub would lose connection and I could not control things while on the road. Then they went to a subscription service..... Then their servers went down and I could not control anything even at home! Now you can't add or even REMOVE something without paying for a subscription! I was trying to exclude some devices so I could add them to my Zee/Pi. I feel like I am being extorted!
Is there anything inside a WINK anyone wants? If not, it will be out on the practice range Wednesday! I can't imaging it lasting much longer....

Another one bites the dust. The original SmartThings hub (2013) will go offline on June 30th 2021: https://www.the-ambient.com/news/sma...k-too-rip-2554
