While we wait on the TCP API to be integrated into a device type in SmartThings, has anyone else set up TCP lighting control via Wink like I have? Wink gave me a message the other day that it could do local control and wanted me to press the sync button on the TCP hub, but that seemed to time out. I may try again and move the Wink hub closer to the TCP hub if it is worth the effort?
Just emailed. Let me know if you gotā¦
yep I just got it - thanks.
However, on page 17 it reiterates that the local gateway needs to be accessed via http: or https: . From what Iām reading above, it looks like we can only connect to the gateway locally via HTTPS, which SmartThings does not support
Time to try out local control with the Wink Hubā¦
Robert - since you have engaged TCP support - can you ask them if we can revert the TCP hubs to an older firmware version that supports local API control over HTTP? If so then we may have a chance with local control via SmartThings.
Iāll email them now and see if they respond. They responded within a day last time.
Email I got from Wink says I wonāt be able to control TCP bulbs remotely or use Winkās robots/schedules. Only control them while Iām under same Wifi as TCP.
Ugh. It was working this morning and I thought they forgot
Now thereās a red light on the hub so it looks like their side is definitely done for.
I guess the hope that the other TCP app or IFTTT integration would somehow continue to work was just wishful thinking
After 2 weeksā¦no sign of a response about HTTP.
Has anyone smarter than me figure what to do with all these bulbs out thereā¦besides just using them as LED light bulbs.
One community member was able to set up a local server and get things to work:
Iāve created an open source Web interface to control the tcp bulbs. Have a look here: https://github.com/bren1818/TCPLightingWebInterface
