Wink won't remove itself from my HA install!

I used to use Wink a long time ago but have since thrown it out.

Every time HA restarts, I get a notification that says:

Click button to configure wink

I have read a ton of other posts, and have taken these steps:

  • The Wink integration is not in my integration list
  • The wink: configuration is not in my configuration.yaml
  • I went in to /.storage/ and removed all instances of Wink stuff from all of the core.* files
  • I deleted all entities from HA that were tied to that integration

Yet it still keeps coming back!

How the heck do I get rid of this thing!?

When I removed the core stuff, it did remove wink but also screwed up 2 of my zwave devices (snapshot saved me)
This is supposed to remove wink entities but did not work for me and just left them right where they were.## Service delete_wink_device

I am looking for other ways but seems like Wink is a one way trip!

I used notpepad+ to remove my 2 wink entries out of core, but again, wink was gone but this time zwave would not initialize . Snapshot to the rescue again.

Weird coincidence . Problem appears to be with something I did on Saturday for my fiancée.

Home assistant does not apparently like usb sharing under proxmox. I had her a win10 vm so she could sync with her iphone. Address was not the same yet it must have been the cause because I removed the usb from the win10 vm and rebooted everything. Now working…let me try all of this again!!!

Did you ever find a successful way to get rid of this Wink configure notification? I’ve got the same issue and have not been successful so far, driving me crazy!

Backup your config folder first just to be safe…

Should be a core.config_entries file located in the .storage folder where your configuration is saved. You can delete the integration from that file, save it and then restart HomeAssistant

@Tdw Here’s the twist: I went to that file (and a bunch of other files in .storage), Ctrl+F for “wink” - no results.

At this point, I’m pretty close to opening a GitHub issue about it, it sounds like a bug.

Opened an issue for this. Anyone with this issue should chime in here with any relevant information (HA version, steps they’ve taken to try to fix the issue, screenshots, etc).
