FAQs

Please see Wink FAQs for a complete list of FAQs on Wink products.

What is Wink?

Wink is a quick and simple way to connect and manage the products you rely on daily. It allows you to manage products from multiple brands in a single app, enabling you to select the products that best suit your life.

How does my Wink HUB talk to my mobile device?

Initially, your mobile device makes a direct connection to the Wink HUB via your Wi-Fi router. After this initial connection, all communication passes through Wink's cloud services to maintain a connection from anywhere.

What HUBs are compatible with GE Link lighting?

To wirelessly connect GE Link lighting to the Wink app, use one of the following supported HUBs:

• Wink HUB
• LINK HUB
• QUIRKY + GE Wall Switch
• Any other ZigBee-compatible hub

What is the light on the front of my Wink HUB?

The light on the front of the Wink HUB indicates its current status. The HUB has three normal states:

• Flashing pink: Disconnected from Wi-Fi, waiting for credentials (configuration mode).
• Flashing yellow: Attempting to connect to your Wi-Fi network and Wink.
• Solid blue: Connected to Wink.

The HUB may also show these states:

• Flashing blue: Pairing or removing a HUB device.
• Long red flash after flashing blue: Device failed to pair or be removed.
• Long green flash after flashing blue: Device successfully paired or removed.
• Brief green flash: Connected device changed state (e.g., light turned on).

Placement and Connectivity

Where should I place the Wink HUB in my home?

The HUB should be located at least 3 feet away from any other Wi-Fi device, including the router. Position it in a centralized location to minimize the distance between the HUB and your connected devices.

Avoid placing the Wink HUB near stone, tile, mirrors, or large metal surfaces, as these can interfere with wireless communication. If possible, locate your HUB in an open space at least 3 feet above the floor, and avoid cabinets.

How do I know whether my router is WPA or WEP?

WEP networks can often be identified by the network password. If your password is exactly 10 or 26 characters long and contains only hexadecimal characters (0-9 and a-f), your network is likely configured with WEP security. You will need to change your network to WPA security before connecting the Wink HUB.

If I lose power or my internet connection, do I have to re-do the setup again?

No. Once power or internet connection is restored, the Wink HUB and Link light bulb will automatically reconnect.
