Thinking about switching from Wink

Hey @scotnemily .... went through the same GoControl hell you describe. Exclude from Wink (I think). Did dozens of resets. No flashing LED to confirm the reset. Dozens of attempts on 3 different devices. Grrrrrrrr. AAAAAaaaaaa. Total frustration.

See my post on the topic: GoControl :: WD500Z-1 dimmer :: Trouble pairing. HowTo configure with HE?

Tried contacting GoControl Support. No response. Won't be buying any more GoControl devices.

Maybe signal is the problem? Bought a 3 pack of the Aeotec range extenders, ZW117-A01 and have them within 10 clear feet of the offending switches. No change. Grrrrrrrr, again.

I came to a frustrated screeching halt.

In the other thread I asked for debugging techniques but Minimote was not mentioned, as @aaiyar suggested. Thank you @aaiyar .... I'll order one today and see if that device helps.

Hey @scotnemily, hope you are making good progress with your installation. Moving from the Wink has not been easy for me, due to the GoControl crap, but most everything else is working flawlessly. Love the local execution speed and reliability. Love not depending on external services. Love the range of devices. Love the active community and good advice.

I am really, really appreciating this community. Looks like folks are really trying to be helpful and there seems to be very little unpleasantness. My thanks to ALL!

And, now Wink wants $4.99 / mo. There's the motivation I need to get the last couple devices moved over HE.

Anyone want a Wink2, cheap? Lightly used. :wink:
