A few weeks ago I bought a GE/Quirky Wink hub and couple TCPconnected bulbs with coupon total was ~$40.  The Wink hub itself is $50 regular price and supports Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, and Lutron ClearConnect.

I found that I needed yet another hub ($60) for the TCPconnected bulbs which use JenNet-IP protocol for RF.  So I have been planning to return that set eventually.  Then I dug out my old X10 stuff and found HomeGenie :-)

I don't know if Wink is hackable to be controlled via (or even run) HomeGenie somehow to utilize the z-wave and zigbee hardware???  Found some info at docs.wink.apiary.io but I don't know enough about this stuff yet.  Guessing HG could send commands via a web URL?

In HG C# Scripts, you can use this to call remote URLs :)

Code: [Select]
var url = "http://192.168.1.1/cgi-bin/script.cgi?parameter=1";
Net.WebService(url).Call();
