In the past couple months, Ive been trying some YoLink devices because of their range and because some have the ability to do things when there is no power. I put this particular plug on my refrigerator so I could monitor the energy usage. I discovered to my surprise that it has the ability to return to a pre-determined state in the event of a power outage or a blip in the power. I dont want my refrigerator staying off on a power interruption as some others do but return to the on state. I tried it and it works. I found the setup quite easy, too. BTW, I have absolutely zero connection to the company or Amazon but am just a happy customer.

The WiFi setup is probably the most challenging step in setting this up, but once you’ve determined your modem settings for compatibility, the installation process is quite simple. The app is also very versatile and you can use it to set a timer for the device you’ve plugged on. A nice feature on the app is power consumption for your device, I’ve attached a snapshot for your reference.

We live rural and are on a well water system. Due to the distance our well is from our house we have a booster pump located near the house for increasing the water pressure to the house and the lawn irrigation system. I have our booster pump plugged into this smart plug so I can turn it on and off remotely from my phone as needed via the Yolink app. It works great and the app tells you when the smart plug is on or off. This plug can be used for many things like seasonal exterior lighting, water fountains etc...

Yolink products are just fantastic. From how easy they are to setup, support, to usability. This Christmas was a yolink Christmas all our lights are easily configured to turn on and off automatically. Integration is fully controlled by Alixa.

The Yolink is based on LoRa connectivity and i have found this to be way more reliable than any of my WiFi connected devices. The switch interfaces nicely with Alexia and has been super reliable.

I have been holding off on a home automation solution because I couldnt find a brand that had all the functionality I was looking for along with ease of setup and affordability. I stumbled across yolink and cautiously gave them a chance since I never heard of them before. Im glad I did and have since recommended them to a number of my friends. Everything works as should and I love the smart IFTTT integrations. The possibilitys are endless. Ive since setup water detectors, motion detectors (Mailbox w/alexa integration), garage doors controllers and 12 wifi light switches so I can easily control all of my outdoor lights. All works great. The wireless range on these devices is amazing too. I was hesitant because I didnt want to add a hub but after learning more about LoRa and the range it broadcasts Im glad I did.

Works find as a Yolink controlled outlet but as far as a smart power monitor product it only provides Wh (Watts/hour?) on an hourly basis. There is no amperage reading which is what I was really after. No granularity, no min/max. Not sure this is worth the extra cost over a normal plug Yolink sells.

Good but the power monitor feature is not as expected. The energy monitor report the power on daily basis instead of hourly (similar to the temp monitor)? I would like to monitor the activity of device (Sump Pump for example) throughout the day and thats not possible now. Update: It seems that even the energy history is delayed. Only reported the following day so the current day remains zero

Instead of binding directly to the router, these program-able plugs bind to the YoLink hub, thereby relieving the router of too many and less stable connections . Each hub can handle 300 different connected items. Best remote control plug on the market.

Great to link with the temp sensors for easy automation of heaters. Nice 12.5 amp upgrade, older model was only 10 amps. Get it! Its the best.
