From one Wink refuge to another. There is a learning curve, but after a few weeks you will wonder how you ever put up with Wink. I used Wink from 2015 till 2019 before coming here.
Hereâs a guide I put together for exactly what youâre asking for.
Note: this was a few versions of iOs and Hubitat ago - so some of the interfaces will look slightly different and be named different things, but if you follow the steps you should be set.
Summary;
in Hubitat youâll install the ârule machineâ app
youâll create a âcloud end pointâ trigger (just a drop down selection). This is literally just a unique URL that, when visited in any browser, will instantly cause the rule to do whatever you tell it to do.
youâll set up the rule to do the A, B, C stuff above.
Youâll copy the Cloud End Point URL from Hubitat over to the iOS shortcut app where you can create a basic widget.
you could use Rule Machine (RM) for this. create a virtual switch (set with auto off to act as a button), then in RM, create a rule that whenever the switch is turned on, perform the actions you want
Hey Craig! I had actually seen your How To but I guess I didn't scroll far enough! (work, what a drag). I will spend this weekend combing thru this tutorial.
I have to admit, while I love the flexibility of HE, the Wink UI was super user friendly. My mom could figure Wink out but I'd have to spend HOURS with her if she migrated to HE. Oh well, such is the life I've chosen.
Aaaand I'm already wondering... I was able to use your step-by-step (it might be outdated as several screens didn't look the same, but I managed) and got myself setup with a wicked sweet shortcut using the Apple app. Now to create more!
@Hubirat - to add to @erktrek's suggestion. There's even a pre-packaged version of Homebridge that can be purchased as a hardware device called "HOOBS". HOOBS is also available as a download that can be run on any RPi.
As an iPhone guy, I use HomeBridge to bring all my Hubitat devices into the Apple ecosphere. And on the rare occasion I need to directly control a Hubitat device, I just use the Home app.
With zero effort. All it took was to get HomeBridge up and running and connected to Hubitat. The devices appear automatically in the Home app, and you can put them into rooms.
I am using an Apple TV4 as my Home hub, but I agree with @erktrek - the HomePod mini is the cheapest way to go.
There are two Hubitat integrations to get devices into HomeBridge (or HOOBS). I'm using the one by @dan.t - it is super simple to setup.
And there's a lot of us using his integration for a long time - so plenty of help if you need any.
@erktrek and @aaiyar are correct about ways to stand up HomeBridge. It does make things slick for getting to/from Homekit.
You can pass states from Homekit to HE by setting up virtual devices in HE to mirror the Homekit ones you want to see in HE. You will have to create the necessary automations in Homekit to pass the Homekit device state through.
If you setup HomeBridge you can connect your MyQ garage door opener by adding a MyQ Bridge. It connects MyQ to Homekit. That's what I've done, and it works well.
You have successfully taken the âgateway drugâ for true home automation.
Most of us here tend to spend WAY more on automation now than we did with Wink, not because we have to, but because of the nearly limitless possibilities and fun you can have.
A few months after I got my Hubitat, I got a Pi and setup Homebridge/HomeKit. Then I set up a PiHole since I already had the Pi... then, anytime I faced a minor annoyance in my house I thought âI bet I could automate that...â and now I have 150 devices.
Hubitat is dangerous, because of how much it empowers you. 1 smart outlet is $30, not too bad... 20 outlets over 2 years adds up, but you wonât realize it till you one day hit a point where youâve automated all the things. And then the system just works. Then you almost start to miss the process of setting up and tinkering with things... getting excited at the rare times when you think of a new application for automation and get a new smart plug, etc.
This is when youâll think back to Wink and realize it was a really great interface for turning on and off things from your phone along with some basic automation. Thatâs when youâll wonder how you got by with just Wink before you had Hubitat
I live alone - my most recent automation is a "deadman switch" - to automatically notify a few people if there's been no sign of life in my house for 12 hours, by virtue of monitoring state changes for things that require human intervention (eg. motion active, getting out of bed, opening/closing doors, raising/lowering toilet seat, turning TVs on/off, opening/closing fridge, using the kitchen garbage can, etc. etc).
I think I'm so locked in the "Wink On/Off" level of automation that I'm struggling with the bigger picture that I know HE can bring. I have some Wyze cams and I'm fine they're in their own app. I have a home security system with it's own app and again, I'm Ok with that. I'm in the What else can I do? phase.
I think I need a "Here's a cool thing I did with HE!" section of the forum!
Make a rule based on motion to turn on lights when you enter a room, and they come on in 0.2ms. Faster than you can reach for a light switch. After a while youâll have your house full of these motion sensors and never touch another switch. Then youâll go on vacation and your spouse will be thoroughly confused as to why the lights in the hotel bathroom donât automatically turn on because of how used to automation youâve become...
and 2) Winks latest outages, almost 2 weeks. Unbearable.
