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

I have a ton of these in my home that I use for presence detection to control heat and lighting. They pair immediately, and the app works well. They also have good support from their employees who Im currently in an email thread with to learn how to use their API. Overall I would highly recommend!

The whole feature of this device/service is the reason why I originally got it and now it’s being taken away. The SMS alert helped me sleep at night because I would save it as a contact and assign it a very loud alarm as a text tone when the door/window opens. So I knew when/if I heard this in the middle the night, I know to grab the “boom stick” and be ready. For me that’s what made the product so great.

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.

So I got into the YoLink LORA to get notifications from a mailbox about 200-250ft from my front door. Its a direct line of sight from there, but I started with putting the hub in the basement at the equipment rack. I figured if it didnt work there I could move it closer to the front of the house. I had no issues with range. The sensor will reliably work through a handful of walls, across the open field, and even from within the all metal mailbox. I have no doubt that without walls and a clear line of sight, 500ft would be simple. I actually think that the 1/4mile (1,320ft) advertised range might not just be marketing fluff. So far Im very pleased with YoLink. The app is easy to use, setup is dead simple, and the range is unparalleled.

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

Great Product!!! You can used on door, windows. Super easy to setup(just scan the code bar). The integration with the HUB its a piece a cake(be sure to buy the hub separately or a combo). You can also buy a siren alarm from this same company if you want any noise for any who tries to enter your place.

So far so good. Linked with google assistant and hue. Working well.

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 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. I made my own bracket Connects easily and is reliable
