I'm a former Wink hardware beta tester. The recollection of events you have indicated is exactly correct. I remember how ridiculously unstable Schlage locks were on the Wink hub (hub 1) in August/September 2014, when compatibility was being tested. The instability was sorted out shortly before the SSL certificate debacle of April 2015.
The problem is that a lot of Schlage locks that date to that era with problematic firmware (5.8, 6.8, 7.1) are still in circulation. Of course they work "fine" with Wink, but move them to any other platform and one is left dealing with the same instability that Wink had with these locks.
