I just added my comments on its stability.

I suggest that your current code be included in this weekendās release. It sounds like it is better than the current production code already, even if issues remain. Also, ātestingā becomes much easier.
It appears this will be merged in 0.37. Yay!
@w1ll1am23 - I added this comment to 0.37 as it wasnāt mentioned in the release notes:
@fabaff - It should be mentioned in breaking changes that the new Wink support will cause renaming of all the binary sensors and will also create new sensors for devices that werenāt previously detected or supported in the older version (quite a few things were added). Users should be aware of this so they arenāt surprised to see some of their previously named sensors missing from groups or new sensors showing up.
.io PR has been opened. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.github.io/pull/1881
If you get a chance check it out and make sure I didnāt make any mistakes.
The biggest change is that I added what devices are supported under each device type. I think there are devices people arenāt aware they could integrate with Home-assistant if they used Wink to do it so it could help.

I know that you fixed the access token so that it refreshes properly but isnāt it better to go with client id/secret?
Iām just wondering if the wording āBecause itās difficult to get access to the API etc.ā isnāt a bit outdated. I got my client id/secret in a few days.
Agreed, already changed it. https://github.com/w1ll1am23/home-assistant.github.io/blob/383b6c0862157cf9ddab3168840eb44d70cb3508/source/_components/wink.markdown
Perfect. And the component card updates are great too; I actually read each one.
I told someone in another thread and over at reddit that some great updates are coming in .37 to Wink and I know they wonāt be disappointed. The updates to the docs are the frosting on the cake.
@w1ll1am23 , youāve done an incredible job refactoring the entire Wink support framework and Wink HA users owe you a debt of gratitude. Thank you so much and Iām glad I was of some help in that effort.
I donāt think Iāve looked forward to a release date this much!

I recently switched to API because somewhere, maybe up at the top of these comments, someone said it had helped them not have this whole, not-updating-the-state issue. (It didnāt work.) But the process took two weeks and involved me answering a questionnaire about what my app was and what it did, which made me wonder if they were even going to give it to me since itās not even āmyā app. But they did. Point is, though, that it can take time, and some people might be put off by the process, so fixing the token refresh is great, and, if it works, is probably enough for most people. I never would have gotten API access or needed it if not for the problem where I wasnāt getting status updates of my Wink items.
Thanks, I am just glad I am able to give back to this project. I really enjoy working on this and hope I continue to have the opportunity to enhance HA in any way I can.
Couldnāt do what I do without the help and feedback from you guys.

Wow! Amazing work! Very excited for the fixes to the states and to be able to use my remotes within HA! Thanks for all you did!
Awesome job getting the remotes to workā¦so many more possibilities with those compared to Wink app.
I never bothered with my Pico remote and still have it somewhere. I guess Iāll have to dig it out now.
No support for the pico remotes. Those for some reason, donāt report anything useful from the API. Only the connected bulb remotes report the button presses.
Now that we have support for the hub binary sensor(guess we have for a little while now), Iām wondering if anyone else has this enabled and can check the history of it for me. I notice that mine shows offline at least twice a day usually, and when it does it seems to come back online showing incorrect states for my motion sensors, which cause lots of issues with robots I have set up. This isnāt a HA issue, its definitely a Wink issue, but Iām just curious since we can see history in HA if anybody else is seeing this and having any issues like I am. Iāve talked to Wink and they seem to be totally lost.
Lol I bet they were super confused. This is exactly why I added these sensors. My v1 hub seems to go offline a few times a week, randomly for a very breif period maybe a couple minutes. I also just started noticing one of my motion sensors showing on for multiple hours. Iāll see if it matches up with when my hub drops.
Thatās exactly what Iām seeing. Motion sensorās report on and stay on until you walk in front of it and it reports no motion again. Sets off all sorts of annoying things that I have based on motion sensors. Guess itās good to know itās not just my hub doing thisā¦
I wonder if this has anything to do with the positioning of the hub relative to your/my wifi. I recently moved my hub a few feet closer to my wifi and I have noticed some small issues since then. Maybe try moving yours a little further from your wifi?
Eventually I am going to have to break down and buy a v2 hub for the hardwired support 
I used to have my hub on a wall shelf in my living room. In the office, my FiOS hub was on the other side of the same wall. I used to have a lot of issues with Wink and in the process of trying to get my Schlage lock to pair the support tech suggested moving it from that wall and closer to the lock (it was literally only a few more feet away from that shelf on another wall).
After that move I havenāt had any issues from my hub or had it drop off. I was surprised that even though it was separated by a 1940ās era interior wall, the hub (and wifi, of course) was causing enough interference that I would have numerous issues causing me to reboot the hub every other week.
My hub is probably 20-25 feet from my router and on another floor, right by my leaksmart valve, which is a bigger pain than the hub as far as going offline all the timeā¦Iāll try moving it to the other end of the basement and see if that makes a difference. Wink tells me they think they know whatās going on with it and are working on a solution, but I think itās just an excuse to get me to stop calling. 
Any chance you would send me the JSON for that leak smart valve? Trying to collect as many unique devices as possible to make python-winkās test suite better.
