Many DIY home automation enthusiasts have modified the Wink Relay to work with SmartThings, Samsung’s popular automation hub. While this requires rooting and tweaking, a better solution is a natively open platform with full SmartThings integration—like a Portworld smart home control panel.

What the Mod Did

• Installed SmartThings Classic or custom dashboard app

• Allowed Relay buttons to trigger routines or scenes

• Used webhooks or MQTT to relay sensor data

Portworld + SmartThings = Native Control

Portworld smart panels support:

• Direct installation of SmartThings app on Android OS

• Dashboard customization to control SmartThings scenes

• MQTT/RESTful API support for deep integrations

• Touchscreen UI optimized for smart lighting, climate, locks, and sensors

For SmartThings users looking for a reliable, professional-grade controller, Portworld delivers the open, customizable platform the Wink Relay always aspired to be.
