Local or Not?

Configuration
1

I am running HA v79. I have a Wink 2 hub. Connected to it is a generic zwave door sensor. I also have a wifi led controller running espurna that I communicate with via mqtt. I have an automation that turns the light on if the door is open and off if it is closed.

My question is, is this all running locally within my network or is it making calls out to the cloud somewhere?

I have occasionally noticed significant delays with the light coming on/off. I suspect that it is making cloud calls. If so, how to I make this run locally only?

Thanks

Steven

I’m pretty sure the Wink uses the cloud to communicate.

And as far as MQTT it depends on if you are using a local MQTT broker or a cloud based one.

I am using a local MQTT broker, mosquitto.

I don’t know of any way to make Wink local. But I’ve never used Wink & for that reason.

But again I could be completely wrong on that but that is my current understanding.

This is documented in the component page for the wink hub: IoT class: Cloud Polling

There you go. :grinning:

It’s via the cloud.

There was a way to hack a wink-1 to get ssh access to have local connection and control of the devices it had added; but a way to do similar with wink-2 was never found.

Thanks for the info but I averted the wink slowdown. A good 'ole hub hard
reboot works wonders.
