Wink Smart Home

Wink Smart Home is an app for Android devices that enables you to manage your smart home directly from your terminal, making your environment smarter.

Your smart home under control and in the palm of your hand

It's not the first time we've talked about an app with these characteristics. For example, we talked about Smart Life. In fact, we might consider Wink Smart Home as a kind of alternative. Both have the same functions: you can control all smart home devices from your mobile phone.

And what does that mean? Well, to give a few quick examples: you can turn on the heating or the air conditioning before you get home, regulate the consumption of light bulbs or start cooking something that you have prepared in the oven: and these are just a few of things you can do.

characteristics

• Alerts to let users know what's happening in the house.
• Intuitive and easy to use interface.
• Security alerts if the house has smart locks.
• Turning lights on and off in human patterns thanks to the HomeSitter feature.

In a world where smart devices are becoming more and more integrated into our daily lives every day, those who have chosen a smart home will find these functionalities very useful. I found the HomeSitter feature particularly interesting, especially with the holiday season in mind.

If we had to say one bad thing about it, it's that it doesn't work equally well with all products. Some users have reported problems when trying to connect the application to products from certain manufacturers, but in general the application worked well during our testing. If you think Wink can help you control your automated home, don't hesitate to give it a try!
