YoLink Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, 1/4 Mile Worlds Longest Range Smart Home Mini Outlet Works with Alexa Google Assistant IFTTT Remote Control Home Appliances Anywhere, YoLink Hub Required

Product is dead on arrival. Not sure I will attempt a return as I had it reshipped out of the country to my home in Costa Rica and no way to return. I have quite a bit more YoLink gear at my home here, and I have been very happy with their products so far. No issues at all until this DOA plug.

Shaft driven septic agitator. Agitators burn out in 4 or 5 yrs and new ones cost $500. If they get out of balance or tied up with hair, etc, they burn out sooner. Connected hub with ethranet cable. Main problem was QR code but soon figured out to just point my smartphone camera at the QR thingie, and the Yolink app did the rest. Have to do this for the hub AND for the smart plug. I plan to check this weekly and pull the agitator out to rebalance/clean if amps spike up sharply from the current 2.5 amps. Divide the watt reading by 115 volts to get the amps.

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...

This review covers primarily the remote control and not the plugs. (The plugs are outstanding) The remote represents a step backwards in the otherwise outstanding technology represented by the YoLink product line. The remote will only control five individual devices. It will not at present control scenes. The superb addition of devices into a local system by scanning a printed code on the device does not apply to the remote. Instead it is back to pushing buttons, etc. a real retrograde! Do not recommend buying the remote until YoSmart gets the firmware upgraded to be in the same league as the remainder of this great product line. Come on, YoSmart. Get the remote up to speed!

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.

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.

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.

Used it to turn on/off a intex 14 Sand pool pump. Works with alexa, you can also monitor your power history... kinda nice. Contol this device with the YoLink app or your Alexa. Called support to ensure product will work with what I was trying to do. Very knowledgeable and kind. Solid unit.

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.

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.
