Wink (platform)
Wink is a smart home platform made by a partnership between Quirky and GE. It allows control over 100 smart products from companies such as Bali, Chamberlain, GE, Honeywell, Kidde, Kwikset, Leviton, Lutron, Philips, Rachio, Rheem, Schlage and TCP. The platform uses encryption to keep it secure from hackers. They also have an IFTTT channel to activate Wink shortcuts.
In November 2015, Wink was acquired by Flextronics.
== History ==
Wink started as an app to control smart home devices by Quirky + GE. However, it was later developed to allow other companies to integrate their smart home products into Wink. By July 7, 2014, Wink had partnered 15 brands and announced their first product, the Wink Hub, which would allow third-party smart devices to be connected to one app. Wink also announced an Android Wear app, making Wink the first smart home platform to have a smartwatch app. Home Depot also announced that they would have a section of Wink products at all their stores in the US. To mark their launch, the Wink Hub was only $0.99 when purchasing two Wink-compatible products. This promotion was also available on Amazon. They also made hilarious videos telling people why Wink is the future, not robot butlers. On September 2014, Wink signed a deal with Home Depot Canada to bring their products into the Canadian market. Wink announced their second product on September 23, 2014. It was called Relay and allows smart devices to be controlled from a wall-mounted device. On April 18, 2015, Wink had a system wide outage due to a faulty update that didn't allow hubs to connect to the Wink servers. In June 2015, rumors started circulating that Quirky was planning to sell Wink due to the high operating costs. Also in June, Wink partnered with Pro.com to offer professional installation of Wink compatible products. On July 8, 2015, the Amazon Echo gained support to control certain Wink devices with full compatibility in the works. On September 22, 2015, Wink's parent company, Quirky, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
