New Plugin for Wink
I’ve developed a plugin for the Wink hub. So far it can handle both binary_switch (on/off outlets) and light_bulb (dimmable connected light bulbs), since those are the device types I’m able to test myself.

Enjoy! I’d appreciate any feedback.
@dgmltn I just had a look at the wink website. I think it is a cool product and also the price tag appears to be reasonable to me (~ 220 USD at Amazon for a Wink Relay with Touch Screen). Unfortunately it is not (yet) available in Germany and probably the rest of old Europe.
I also had had a look at your code which I find is a pleasure to read - well structured. No doubts, you are a black belt software developer

The price for entry is even much cheaper than that. I started with a Wink Hub + 2 light bulbs from Home Depot for $50! (not including a touch screen)

Thanks for the praise. Yes, my day job is as an Android Programmer

Wow! You won’t find something similar with this price tag in Europe these days.
Regarding the hub with the dedicated Touch Screen control this seems to be a relict of past times as we all have multiple Smart Phones and Tablets at home these days

Cool. If you like there are also opportunities to get involved with an Android project. See http://forum.pimatic.org/topic/552/android-widget for example.

Homedepot is selling a winkhub and two dim-able lights for $60 online. I was wondering if your plugin supports brightness.

Cool plugin, @dgmltn would you release it to npm?

Yes, it supports dimming! The plugin supports dimmable bulbs, binary switches (like plugin appliance modules), and shutters, for now. I won’t mind adding support for other device types, if I can get my hands on those devices.
