How to use Wink Robots with your Sensi thermostat

Automation tips with Wink Robots for even more control of your home comfort

In 2015, we announced that Sensi™ Smart Thermostats now work with Wink smart home platform so you can control your favorite thermostat along with your lights, locks, garage door, and other Wink-compatible smart home products right from your Wink app. But did you know that Wink has another feature that makes it even easier to automate your home to run on its own?

If you are familiar with the Wink app, you might already be using Wink Robots. Wink Robots are a simple way to program your connected home products to work together automatically based on triggers, such as location or activity.
