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

I use YoLink products in my home and my ice cream shop. It was so easy to set up these products using the QR codes. The new long range technology is incredible and so reliable! I even have temperature sensors inside freezers that are linked to the hub!! I am so excited about these products that I bought five kits for Christmas gifts for my family!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.
