A project log for Wink Hub Hacking

Things I've learned and planning to do with my rooted Wink Hub

Hmmm... my wifi router went haywire causing the hub to lose its wifi connection and went to its "blinking pink" factory reset state. Restarted the whole system and it reconnected without having to set it up all over again. However, in this process, somehow my crontab file got deleted. Don't know if that is because the /var/spool directory doesn't get written to the flash or if there is some kind of tamper-proofing script that found it and deleted it upon reboot. (If you know, comment) Anyway, lesson learned, make a backup copy. I'm putting mine in root's home folder; I'm pretty sure that does get written to the flash. In any case, I'll find out...
