No, WINK hasn't registered with us yet. I would ask them if they intend on supporting DSC and Honeywell panels. Maybe they aren't aware of the Envisalink.

I will reach out to them and see what I can find out. Is it possible for EyezOn to register with Wink?

Wink IS another server running locally. It makes outgoing calls so you don't have to forward ports, but it's still poking a hole and bridging into your private network. And cloud is just another word for web servers (in this context) so with any of those proprietary hubs you're surrendering control to one or more vendors and putting more of your personal data into their clouds.

IMO it seems safer to use eyezon for remote access. Keep your security system separate from a general (non security skilled) hub vendor. And if automation is needed use a non-proprietary local automation hub rather than an integrated cloud hub so you can block it from getting out of your local network.
