> 3 day1. Implementation could not be simpler. Scan the barcode on the device with your phone, give the device a name and assign it to a room, hit the bind device to network button in the app, then press the set button once and, voila, the device is active on your network. 2. Usefulness - I have my washing machine plugged into this device and, in the event of a leak, the nearby Yolink leak detector directs Yolks shutoff valve to turnoff the water main, and this plug cuts electricity to the washing machine (my concern is that a flood come come from either, say, a hose breaking OR from a clogged drain within the washing machine; thus, the need for this plug). The app then notifies me via text, email, iOS notification that a leak was detected and the power to the washer has been cut (and the Yolink Siren Alarm also goes off. Gee, I probably know whats going on by now, huh! :). 3. Energy Monitoring - Easy to read graph shows power usage. I highly recommend this device. Exceptional quality and value.

> 3 dayThe customer service for this company has been really great, but the over all experience tells me that their quality control is rather poor, which is why I have to give them 2 stars. For the following 3) orders, I have experienced an issue with each one. Order 1) Hub - The hub I received logs on and offline frequently, it is currently being replaced by the company. The troubleshooting for the hub is relatively simple - turn it off, turn it back on again, put it on an ethernet cable and try again. If this does not resolve the issue, theyll replace it. Order 2) Door sensors - They sent water sensors instead, but did replace them and sent a shipping label to return the wrong item. Order 3) Smart Plug Mini - of the two received only one worked out of the package. Overall, I like the app and its ease of use; I do wish there were some features like setting times on the alarms for the door sensors. I think that the items do work well together, and you could really get a nice system set up for yourself... But I would beware the issues Ive described above.

Greater than one weekYolink products are the best. I never thought I would buy into a Hub system but that is exactly what makes this product work so well. Device to device paring is what makes there family of devices work so well even without internet or wifi access.

> 3 dayI have been updating my house electronics to SMART products. Several previous purchases were very difficult to setup, and then kept losing their WiFi signal. I bought the YoLink Hub and door Sensors, and they were so much easier to set up! They never lose a signal, and always alert me to any doors that open or close. I then purchased the Motion Sensor, then the Garage Door opener, and the Alarm unit. All integrated perfectly, and have not had a single false alarm or problem, unlike the units I replaced from another manufacturer! I have recommended them to my neighbors and friends. Looking forward to additional new innovative products from YoLink!!!

> 3 dayI use this Yolink mini plug (with the hub) for some home automation (turning light on/off etc.) Very easy to set up and incorporate with Alexa for routines. I also have a Samsung Smartthings hub that has provided all sorts of difficulties and glitches over the years (and poor lack of range for both zigbee and z-wave.) I was excited to try out the Yolink and so far everything has worked really well. I also have the exterior plugs with which I am very happy that I used for holiday lights via an automated routine in Alexa that corresponds to sunrise / sunset.

Greater than one weekI keep buying more and more yolink products! I love how all the products can work together to create automation to make my life easier. I bought an 8cu.ft. fridge that didnt have a built in air circulation fan (most refrigerators this size dont). It would take a long time to cool down, and a long time to recover from the door being opened. I bought a small electronics cooling fan and glued it up near the top of the fridge (the underside of the freezer above it). Then I bought a yolink temp. sensor and this mini plug. I then easily set an automation. Now the mini fan turns on when the fridge goes over the high temp, set at 41°, and it turns off when it reaches the low temp, set at 36°. This automation helps the fridge regulate its temp much better, resulting in the compressor on time to be much shorter, lower power consumption and hopefully greatly extending its lifetime. I hope yolink continues to make more products and continue to add more options to their automation programming!
