My main issue with my wink is that it has to go all the way across the internet to connect to the box 10ft away from me. A much "smarter" system would simply connect directly over my home wifi and avoid most of the lag and connectivity issues. I understand WHY they did it this way (because they don't want to support an open device/protocol for interacting with the hub...) but it seems really short-sighted in terms of the user experience. I've already rooted my wink hub and fully intend to implement this myself just to reduce the annoyance.
