Yep. No professional monitoring option. No keypad. No way to get notifications if the Internet is off-line. I think no exit delay.

Really the important thing about this announcement is it these are new Wink – branded sensors, not just the gocontrol ones.

Oh My! I am soooo ready to drop SmartThings for this.

It’s a bunch of sensors that can alert you. So it’s SmartThings with Core/Super Notify for $199

I don’t think there’s any core equivalent in terms of you being able to make your own rules. It’s more like smart home monitor.

Ouch. I’ve never used Wink, but it sounds like something is missing in that article. Surely there is a way to not get alerts if you are home?
