Can this be used without the subscription if hooked up to a hub like wink?

As far as I know you have to register with them to set it up. There might be other company that does it too.

U guess u can. I used 1 as access point and it worked. I believe cloud feature doesn't work if u use it as access

Had the same question. After some searching there was a review on 2/3/15 that said they tried this with Wink and had no luck. I'm most likely going with a confirmed compatible outlet and then simply plugging a siren into it.

This and all Z-Wave devices are compatible with the SmartThings hubs. It appears Z-Wave is not compatible with Wink protocols.

It is a stand alone router and can be used to that effect without any subscription. Connection to the internet will require a 4g or wired service of course.

You need a zWave hub of some sort. I started with a wink hub and changed to a SmartThings hub. Also note that this spotter does not detect motion like a PIR motion sensor. It detects when the device moved or is shaken.

Yes it can. You need the Insteon Hub (a hardware product) as well as this and then you can control it through the Insteon for Hub available at the Amazon App Store.

No. They work over WiFi, using the Wink protocol, which I believe is proprietary.

No, I don't think so, yet. The Wink Hub does not have an option for connecting a Z-wave door/window sensor. The app only shows "ZWave Light" and "ZWave Switch."

No, there is no subscription fee even to use the app while away from home (assuming you have a data plan with your cell phone carrier)

yes, a yearly subscription is needed, but worth the cost when compared to other GPS traffic updates. This feature has saved me considerable time avoiding new onset traffic jams that the other GPS units do not have.

No. It will not. You cant sync the app without the monthly fee. You do get 3 months free if that helps.

Yes. Just download the app from the appstore and connect through wifi once this unit it installed and synced, then you're good to go. There's no monthly fees or anything.

Ray. The short answer is no. Either the INSTEON HUB or the SmartLinc web controller would be required for web access to the bulb. The app requires an actual web controller to link to. You would need either: http://www.smarthome.com/2242-222/INSTEON-Hub/p.aspx or http://www.smarthome.com/2412N/SmartLinc-INSTEON-Central-Controller/p.aspx to gain that web access.

Hi Tj, this is Ryan from the SmartThings support team. Thanks for your question about the SmartThings Hub. We don't expect that we would ever offer a completely disconnected service. That said, in the next phase of our growth, we expect to offer a Version 2 SmartThings Hub that supports temporary local Internet outages. The reason for this is that there are lots of devices that don't require a hub at all - and those devices need to work together - and that requires the SmartThings Cloud. Thanks again and if you have any other questions, feel free and email us at support@smartthings.com

As I recall, you have to subscribe to have any access to the machine. I bought a Roku 3 and use it the way you describe.

In response to M. Lo, yes - it works perfectly with the Wink Hub. There is absolutely no charge for using this device with the Wink. With the Wink App, you can create a Robot that turns on a light when the door is unlocked and turn it off when it is locked (the light/lamp must be wink enabled too). I have everyone asking, "How'd you do that" when they see it!
