There is no reason why Hubitat app cannot work in 4.3 ( but I can be wrong) ... I am far from being an Android expert but I think I we can give a try by modifying the version line in the Android app. If I am not mistaken it is setup for Android 6 and above .....
Would anyone be able to modify this line in the app for us to give a try?
Thanks just an idea
Yeah, it certainly is underpowered and since it's using an older version of Android, it's also not able to take advantage of some of the performance improvements that have been made in some newer browsers.
That being said, other community members have had success running simple (web) dashboards using either Chrome or Firefox.
Personally, I've moved on to using dedicated wall mounted tablets so I can get the most out my dashboards. I use SharpTools.io dashboards, but I suppose that's no surprise since I'm the lead SharpTools dashboard developer. 
I still keep a Wink Relay on my desk so I can help troubleshoot though. 
I've had good luck using chromium-based Opera; it uses a bit less memory than Firefox and seems less bloated than Chrome (Opera version 49.0.2361.134358 works well with Android 4.3; it is on apkmirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/opera-software-asa/opera/opera-49-2-2361-134358-release/
Hi Josh....not sur eto understand
How are you replacing the Wink relays with Tablets? Are you saying there is a way for the table to switch the light using part of the Wink relay components? Sorry I am lost
I've abandoned the Wink Relays altogether. You can either place the tablet over the existing switch and use an in-wall relay to replace the switch (Aeotec, Qubino, Enerwave all make small relays)... or just place the tablet near the existing bank of switches and used regular smart switches.
If only we could install Hubitat App on the Wink Relay... what do you think Josh?
That's up to the app developer as they would need to support Android 4.3 - it's not quite as simple as @jcastrillo alluded to though.
Each new version of Android introduces new APIs (and deprecates old ones). Many apps and libraries get updated to take advantage of these new APIs so they can introduce new features. Sometimes developers initially introduce these new features as optional features to maintain backwards compatibility.
Over time though, it can be a real pain to try to support very old Android API levels, so the developers of libraries and apps will update their minSDK targets. There's many reasons they do this, but it's a mix of things like not wanting to bloat their apps with backwards compatibility code and deal with the headache of trying to backport new features to support these old APIs. Especially when these old Android API versions make up a very small portion of active Android devices.
Just to give you a feel for things, 98.1% of devices are running Android 4.4 or newer. That means that you only get an additional 0.3% potential users by pushing back your support levels to Android 4.3.
Can't argue with that. Just wish there was an option to install an app for all the Wink Relay owners out there. Thanks again!
I was obviously wrong....,thankssss!!!
Is that the Hubitat app? Or were you able to find an app that displays web pages full screen?
Yes, HE Dashboard. I followed these steps instead of just pasting the link to one of my dashboards like I've always done. The HE App doesn't want to install on this device, so we have to use browser.
' Show Off Your Dashboards! '
SharpTools has more capabilities still, but as a local option, this works. Showing Images doesn't work in Wink Relay yet and Video doesn't work in any of my devices. But a fantastic app - I've been using it for a few weeks now.
Hello there... awesome job!!! unfortunately I am coming here to complain about the wink relay. I have 14 relays at home all perfectly working until the last month where suddenly one relay was blocked in the Encryption unsuccessful screen. See picture. I tried to recover the device using the TTL connection but it was impossible.
I though ....ok bad luck and i bough a new one to replace the broken one. Last weekend, two other devices were showing the same error Encryption unsuccessful error and I am not able to recover them anymore.....
I understood this issue is related to a certain memory of the device being full. I did almost nothing with these affected devices located in places at home where I am not using at all so i cannot say that these devices were heavily used at all....
I am scared that one by one the rest of my relays (12)will be in a similar situation ....... do you know if there is any way to prevent this issue? if this is a memory issue, do you think a memory cleaner might help?? I am lost and desperate after the huge time and investment moving the whole house to Wink relays.
I have the feeling that this will happen sooner or later to all of us.. Hope to be wrong
Any advice would be highly appreciated!!!!
I have only 2 of these and they have their issues (reboot all the time on their own), but I have never seen this... Out of curiosity, what happens when you select “Reset tablet”?
It restarts and goes to the configuration menu to reboot or wipe data but it does nothing .... you try to wipe data and it seems to perform the wipe , but it does nothing and when you try to reboot it goes to the same screen
Ouch! Hopefully someone else has seen this before and was able to resolve it.
I think I got it where I want it for now. Everything using a set of 5 built-in HE dashboards linked together.
A second device is arriving tomorrow. I'm becoming quite fond of these little things. Not bad for a slow dog if kept light.
Some more findings...... out of my 14 relays 4 have "encryption unsuccessful" issues and another 8 units are affected by the "groundhog day' situation. I am not sure if the "groundhog day' situation is linked to the encryption unsuccessful issue but pretty scary.
I have spent hours with Putty and the Serial connection trying to recover the 4 relays with no success at all.
Any idea or suggestion would be super welcome... I am in a dead end.
Seriously thinking about replacing the wink relays with tablets and internal switches but my first preliminary cost calculation is above $120 per unit
