YOLINK LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor: Up to 1/4 Mile Open-Air Range, Door Left-Open Reminders, up to 5 Year Battery Life, Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant

Great product and TERRIFIC Customer Service/Tech Support!!!

I was cautious to order because there were not many reviews, but I am SO glad that I did. I cannot recommend the yolink products highly enough. They are incredibly easy to setup, and work flawlessly. Setup: The only issue I had during setup was the wifi did not want to connect. I connected the hub via ethernet to the router and it connected without issue. Once it was connected, I simply disconnected from the ethernet and moved it to the location I wanted the hub and it stayed connected to the wifi. Range: They arent kidding about the range on these products! Our chicken coop is over 400ft from our house, across hills/trees/brush and I have had zero issues with connection. Customer Service: I emailed customer service with a question and received an answer within the same day. Very quick, polite, and helpful. IFTTT Integration is very easy to use and works well, though I have found that I prefer the in-app automation since it there is no delay. I am using the yolink wifi plug to turn on/off a heat lamp for new chicks in the brooder based on an alert from the yolink temp/humidity sensor. If the temp gets too high, the plug turns the lamp off - if the temp gets too low, the plug turns the lamp on. Its working very well. I have had zero issues with the app and have found that it has all the functionality that I need.

Easy to install and its portable. Alexa integration is quick and easy. Fast response time.

Easy to install. I made my own bracket Connects easily and is reliable

Im sold on the Yolink product line. This door sensor was a snap to install and set up alerts on my phone. Im getting a couple more of these as well as their other products.

Bought one for each door and one for each window. Doors work fine. Cant even install in windows at all. Have normal vertical sash windows. Each sash takes one sensor rather than one for both (thats 2x sensors). There are so many window configurations in my home (vertical hinged, horizontal hinged all with indoor screens). Each type needs custom made spacers for the magnets to be installed. Im making them all but am very surprised that for windows theres not a huge variety of spacers for the magnets, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4. Sad story for what is great service, tech support. Also alerts are not good. Someone breaks into your home and you get the same phone alert/notification that you get for email, ebay, amazon. Got YoLink leak sensors and siren alarms too. When someone breaks in and they alarm you dont know weather to grab your gun or your plumbers wrench. Not well thought out.

Deceits in its product description. This listed in products that support TuYa/ Smart Life app. Now it says I have to use their hub and app. I cannot use 10 different apps for 10 different sensors - I’m using Smart Life and it’s sensor ecosystem is pretty good. Why do I need loyalty to this new kind?! I don’t.

I bought he leak sensors and a window/door sensor. The hub and sensors were very easy to install. I plugged the hub into my wifi router and it activated within a minute, I paired the leak sensors and tested them, they alarmed as soon as I put them in water. The door sensor on my garage doors gives me peace of mind when I am not home, it sends an alert to my phone every time the door open and when it closes.

This is an excellent product, but it is a bit hard to configure. For example, my freezer is in the garage and I sure don’t want to be told every time I open the freezer door, but I do want to be told if the door is left open for more than five minutes. Configuring the 5 minute alert was quite the chore and yet I’m certain that’s quite a common request? so they could’ve given a real example. Also, once you register your email address with the app, you are forced to register a second time on their website. That second registration is really not obvious. Nonetheless, I have bought additional sensors from them

Very easy to install. The kids never close doors. Now, I get a text if the door is left open too long!
