Wink will require customers to pay a $ 4.99 per month subscription fee starting May 13th. The service was previously offered for free as part of owning a wink product.
If you opt not to sign up for wink’s subscription,’you will no longer be able to access your wink devices from the app, with voice control or through the API, and your automations will be disabled on May 13,’ says wink’s announcement blog.
Wink’s’long term costs and recent economic events have caused additional strain on our business’.’this fee is designed to be as modest as possible,’ the company said.
