I've got several Wink things, and they seem to work ok.  I had issues for a 
while with GE Link bulbs dropping connection to the hub but that seems to be 
resolved.  They need a non-cutesy hub that I can stick in the rack and feed 
Ethernet to that will just work.  Too much shit is wifi only these days.  Maybe 
could have a sort of mesh repeater to get to far corners of the house if needed.
WeMo used to be ultra crap, now it's just sorta crap.
And everyone seems to be in a mad dash to integrate with Nest(Google) so they 
don't get left behind or to get on the radar for acquisition....

Food for thought- try to go for the smart switches rather than smart bulbs.  
I've got a dozen or so GE link bulbs and then my kids (...and wife) just wind 
up randomly shutting off the switch and they don't automate.  A smart switch 
would at least return to the state programmed at scheduled time.

Tried Wink.  Neat but anything but simple/turnkey.
