> 3 dayThese are slightly too big vertically, so that when you put one above the other (in the same outlet) they BARELY fit (and even rub against each other, which I wonder is a possible concern?). Otherwise, they work exactly as they should and are very easy to program.

> 3 dayThe reason I decided to try YoLink and their devices . 1) The price of the hub is very reasonable, unlike other smart hubs I have been looking at. 2) All the different smart devices that Yolink has. 3) After reading up on YoLink devices, the hub and devices are extremally easy to setup. Open the app, scan the bar code on the side of the device (in this case, the plug) and it is connect within seconds to the hub. Then a few seconds later I get notification that Alexa has found new smart device, without needing to open the Alexa app and scan for new devices. This is great, at least to me it is. Makes it much simpler. 4) YoLink had motions sensors that would works with Alexa and my other smart devices. 5) Everywhere I searched, included youtube, YoLink received very high rating. Now to the reason I decided to try (and now love) these YoLink smart plugs. The first Yolink plug: Up until lately I only used WiFi smart devices in my home. The drawback is that if you lose internet connect, NONE of your smart devices work. I purchased one of these plugs to test. Connected it to the YoLink hub, then using the app set it so that when the motion sensor in my garage or utility room sensed motion this plug would turn on a light in the utility room. This is because every time I lose internet, it is at night (and dumb me, have wifi smart switches in the utility room and garage), and I have to reset the ISP box. It works great, I walk out there and the light comes on, leave the area the plug turns off the light, with or without internet service. Great it works as everyone said it would and it was extremally easy to setup the automation via the app. The second plug purchased: I liked how the first one worked. The second one is connected to my ISP service box that needs to be reset at least once a week. (that is what my ISP keeps telling me to do when the internet goes down) I have this plug turn off the power to the IPS service box, around 4 am every morning and turn it back on ten minutes later, fully resetting it. Problem solved, no more fumbling around in the dark trying to reset my ISP service box. It works great because the hub, not the internet is controlling the smart devices. So, Yes, I highly recommend the Yolink smart plugs, hub and their other devices for the reasons stated above.

> 3 dayI wanted to have irrigation system taking water with 1.5hp pump from the lake which is about 100yds from our property and decided to try this. I wasnt sure if the mini plug can handle that and if the range will actually work as advertised but it works absolutely perfect. You can schedule it in many different ways, control it from the phone or from Alexa and likely more. You can water your lawn while being on vacation if you want! Only disadvantage is we got more lazy as we dont go to the lake to start the pump manually any more... :-)

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!

15-11-2024The whole system works really well as I have continued to build on it. I have experience with multiple systems by many manufacturers, and the YoLink products are the most user friendly by far.
