I decided to give the YoLink light switches a try after purchasing a Yolink hub and flood sensors a few months earlier. I needed to replace some much older motion sensor/light switch combos that only worked with incandescent bulbs. Of all the options I looked at, these were by far the best value and I liked the wide range of products that work together with the same hub and app. Initially I was looking at Zwave or Zigbee products but decided on YoLink after comparing prices and doing the math. Most of the YoLink devices can be paired together directly in addition to pairing with the hub, such that simple automations will still work if the Internet connection is down (e.g. activating a switch with a motion sensor or door sensor). On the downside, YoLinks communication protocol is proprietary and not compatible with APIs like OpenHAB. But so far the apps built-in automation features have been enough for my needs. The only other thing I would nitpick is that you cant configure the LED behavior on the switch itself, which some competing products allow. Alexa integration works great. The YoLink app keeps full history of switch state and allows configuring the switchs power-on state (recovery after power failure), which can be on, off, or last state. Device firmware upgrades are easy, though I would not recommend kicking off more than one or two at a time, as they all need to download from the hub. Overall Im pretty happy with this purchase as well as other products in YoLinks ecosystem.

This light control is easy to install and simple to connect to the system. Consistently dependable. An excellent purchase.

Works great and great range. Use it for exterior entry lighting and adjusting the schedule per sunset/sunrise On/Off from the phone is handy. Would be even handier if it did that automatically as the seasons changed.

I recently installed this light at the opposite end of my home from the hub, and the response time is excellent. I called customer service to figure out if the red LED light could be turned off, and a human answered the phone on the second ring. Excellent customer service. The only complaint is the bright red LED light that activates when the switch is off. I was able to pop off the front of the switch and cover the light with a small piece of black gorilla tape. Problem Solved. I will be first in line to buy when they come out with a dimmer light switch.

I have tried a dozen smart switches for my pool light controller. But due to the distance from my house and the waterproof metal box that houses the switch, none would work. Until I found this one. It wired up easily and worked from the second I paired it to the hub. Thank you for making a great product.

I have been using yoLink products for since they were invented and every single item works flawlessly and integrates into alexa speakers- giving me warnings, alerts and notifications of temperature, mail delivery, motion 500 feet away at my barn, barn door contact alerts, steam room and sauna door alerts (grandkids wandering), water leaks in 7 locations as they occur in my home, etc. This is flawless! Im waiting for cameras and I will totally kill xfinity home!

Quick and simple installation.

Installation is super easy. But... Scan the switch after connecting to power, but before fully screwing it into the electrical box. Otherwise, you must take the switch back out to scan it.

I had a Lutron Caseta switch that was working fine but way outside the 30ft range it is specified for. With the 1000ft range on the Yolink, I thought this would be a more reliable solution. Once installed, the switch shows a Good signal in the app but the switch is responsive about 50% of the time. The light gets left on all night after an off command is sent, or it doesnt come on frequently when on commands are sent. Putting the Lutron back and returning this.

The manual switch feels cheap. The quality of the mechanical switch is poor when compared with other switch manufacturers. The smart or wifi part works. Great.
