Wall Switch, YoLink 1/4 Mile Super Long Range Smart Light Switch Single Pole 10A in-Wall Switch Compatible with Alexa Google Assistant Home IFTTT, ETL Listed, Neutral Wire Needed, YoLink Hub Required

After dealing with zwave, this was a breeze. Hooked it up and it worked in under five minutes.

I installed two switches for overhead lights in my workshop that is located 300’ from my house. These switches are on opposite walls, requiring crossing the shop just to turn on/off lights. I also installed a YoLink Motion Detector over the entry door. So now when you enter, the overhead lights come on and stay on as long as there is motion inside. This is great as sometimes, I’m going in and out several times a day. I can also use the app on my phone to check the status of or turn any YoLink device on or off. Plus I can get notifications on my phone if the motion detector senses anything.

Easy set up

I was able to wire and install this switch in a 4-gang box. Since then its been turning on/off my outside lights as I programmed. Programming the switch and checking when it turned the status of lights is very easy. All yolink products are very simple to setup, and use. They are also very reliable and never failed since Ive been using them for almost a year. I wish they had more products such as indoor/outdoor cameras.

I use this switch to control an overhead heater in my garage . I really like it because the Yo-Link app allows smart interaction between various sensors and switches. I have the Yo-Link garage door sensor too and have the app programmed so when the garage door is opened more than 7 minutes it turns the heater off. Works flawlessly.

Great improvement

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 really love the yolink ecosystem. they are super easy to add to the system, so i was excited to migrate from my zwave switch that controlled my outside garage lights to this system. Overall it works and does what it is designed to do, but i do have a few minor issues i hope they address in future light switches. 1) As most others have noted, the red LED light is sort of annoying. I have it in the garage so it isnt that big of a deal, but i would not want these throughout the house in main living areas. THe red indicator light when off is just very bright and annoying. I would rather it be a very small led indicator in the bottom corner. Or if you could change the LED maybe a different color would be better, and/or brightness level. if that was controllable. When on it is white which is fine. 2) The overall feel of the switch is not the best i have seen. Where you make the connection for the electrical, the screw is what bites into the copper to hold it in. It does make a very secure connection when tugging, but most other switches have molre of a plate that squeezes the cable on the inside. Again it seems to be ok but just something i noticed. 3) My switch came with the arrow facing down (opposite of the instructions which tell you to have it facing up). Support noted it was fine to install, but again just noting that it was not what the directions had. 4) THe switch housing is a little thicker than the other traditional switches, so i think my cover plate was not fully flush on the one side. i took a picture so you can see although it may be hard. Id rather it be designed more like a traditional switch and if needed be able to tear off the ears as some setups do require that. 5) I would have loved if this was an energy management capabilities to keep track of how much power, but not a deal breaker, especially at this price point. 6) The software does have sunrise/sunset scheduling, but i am hoping they include more advanced such as x minutes before and x minutes after to tweak my settings a little better for my needs. Again overall i like it and great price point but hopefully they address some of these in future models.

Installs like a regular wall switch. Used it to turn lights on at Sunset and go off at 11:45pm. Programming to set to Sunset was a little cumbersome using the Automation function but I was able to figure it out. Once you know it, it was easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

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.
