Over the last few months finding out and learning about yolink products I ordered several wall Switchs and installed one in the bath room and two in the garage. They work perfect! In the garage removed my existing switch and installed a yolink one. I was able to set the switch to auto turn off after 5 hours of it being on (seeing that i am very seldom in the garage longer then that in one setting and at least if the lights are left on over the weekend it will get turned off automatically). Then I installed a second yolink by the other door into the garage. The second switch is just power to the yolink switch only it does not control any device. I then did Direct 2 Device pairing of both switches. I had to do this trice. One Pairing one direction and then paired the switches in reverse. By doing this both switches stay in sync so when I turn one on the other also goes on. And the same in reverse when one goes off the other goes off. All of this was done without the need of internet or even a yolink hub. Now I also have the garage door sensor for both of my garage doors. I then configured some automations and settings to track the garage doors open. If one door opens then the lights come on automatically. And if both doors close (and both have to be closed not just one) the lights will then go out! Then the I installed another switch in by bathroom to replace the exhaust fan switch. I also place a temp / humidity yolink sensor in the bathroom. Now when someone takes a shower and the humidity gets above say 90 the fan kicks on automatically! And turns off once it drops down again. Its magic! But if someone just needs to use the restroom and they want the fan on they can manually turn it on and off like normal.

Yolink switch + Yolink Humidity sensor = no more damaged mirrors in the bathroom due to water condensation.

It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Installation was trivial, aside from the usual challenges associated with stuffing everything back into the electrical box - par for the course with today’s smart devices. Wago connectors instead of wire nuts can sometimes help with that. The on/off LED indicator is maybe a little overdone, but it doesn’t really bother me. Adopting the switch into the Yolink network requires only that you can point your phone camera. Once you have the Yolink Alexa skill installed (one time shot) integration with Alexa is automatic.

My third yolink device, super easy to setup and very reliable, love how wel it integrates with my Alexa. The Lora signal is superb And separate from the WiFi signal, I’m definitely moving all my automation to my Lora network and hope yolink will continue to create more devices.

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!

I needed something to help me turn the lights in my garage on and off. This switch integrated with my current Yolink setup very well. The switch was easy to install and works even easier.

First, the motion detection doesnt log out notify the app when someone triggers the light. Which is the only reason I wanted it. However, the first switch didnt work. No connection to the hub!!!! So, it returned it and tried the second time. It connected to the hub!!! Yeah!!! Then the connection stopped working. Boo!!!! It still turns on the light, but you cant see its status of turn it on through the hub. I would return it, but it is in a different state than me now. So, a lesson learned.

Easy set up

The Yolink uses LoRa connectivity which has been for me way more reliable than any of my WiFi connected devices. While I have not tested this switch over a quarter of a mile I do have another YoLink on my mailbox which is quite some distance from the house and it reliably notifies me when the mail shows up. I did have a problem with one of my switches which was quickly cleared up by the Yolink support as I had inadvertently miss wired a switch. The switch plays very easy with Alexia.

When paired with motion sensors (or manually /w smartphone), my switch is part of an electronic team to (among other things) light/darken zones as people/things move through. Exactly what I needed.
