Wink

Wink

This is marketing material for Wink, a smart home hub platform that consolidates control of devices from multiple brands (Nest, GE, Philips, Honeywell) into a single app. The service offers automation features called "Robots" that let different devices trigger each other (like unlocking a door triggering lights to turn on) and "Shortcuts" for controlling multiple devices simultaneously. Wink's main pitch is simplifying the fragmented smart home landscape by allowing different manufacturers' products to communicate and work together through one interface.
