> 3 dayThe reason I decided to try YoLink and their devices . 1) The price of the hub is very reasonable, unlike other smart hubs I have been looking at. 2) All the different smart devices that Yolink has. 3) After reading up on YoLink devices, the hub and devices are extremally easy to setup. Open the app, scan the bar code on the side of the device (in this case, the plug) and it is connect within seconds to the hub. Then a few seconds later I get notification that Alexa has found new smart device, without needing to open the Alexa app and scan for new devices. This is great, at least to me it is. Makes it much simpler. 4) YoLink had motions sensors that would works with Alexa and my other smart devices. 5) Everywhere I searched, included youtube, YoLink received very high rating. Now to the reason I decided to try (and now love) these YoLink smart plugs. The first Yolink plug: Up until lately I only used WiFi smart devices in my home. The drawback is that if you lose internet connect, NONE of your smart devices work. I purchased one of these plugs to test. Connected it to the YoLink hub, then using the app set it so that when the motion sensor in my garage or utility room sensed motion this plug would turn on a light in the utility room. This is because every time I lose internet, it is at night (and dumb me, have wifi smart switches in the utility room and garage), and I have to reset the ISP box. It works great, I walk out there and the light comes on, leave the area the plug turns off the light, with or without internet service. Great it works as everyone said it would and it was extremally easy to setup the automation via the app. The second plug purchased: I liked how the first one worked. The second one is connected to my ISP service box that needs to be reset at least once a week. (that is what my ISP keeps telling me to do when the internet goes down) I have this plug turn off the power to the IPS service box, around 4 am every morning and turn it back on ten minutes later, fully resetting it. Problem solved, no more fumbling around in the dark trying to reset my ISP service box. It works great because the hub, not the internet is controlling the smart devices. So, Yes, I highly recommend the Yolink smart plugs, hub and their other devices for the reasons stated above.

Greater than one weekYolink products are the best. I never thought I would buy into a Hub system but that is exactly what makes this product work so well. Device to device paring is what makes there family of devices work so well even without internet or wifi access.

> 3 dayI have tried multiple IOT devices including VeSync, Kasa, and SensorPush. Nothing has the range of yo link. All of their devices are incredibly easy to set up and work seamlessly. I have probably 20 or 25 of their devices including leak detectors, smart plugs, and their outdoor plugs. I have two of the hubs including a speaker hub. I am just getting ready to install a motorized valve on a very large one and a half inch main supply to our home. These products are great. Customer service couldnt be better.

> 3 dayI bought 4 of these in August 2021. 1 of them has already failed. While Yolink offers 2 year warranty on some products, they only offer a 1 year warranty on 120V products. Ive had cheaper brands work longer than these have.

> 3 dayWhen my crypto miner went offline, the power source was from my attic and it was trouble some to get the ladder, walk up to attic and unplug my miner when it needed to be restarted. But when I found out about YoLink Smart Plug it was an easy buy because it made it easier to power it off (restart) from my mobile phone. Their app is also great, easy to understand the UI (user interface). I just wish they had a 4 pack or 5 pack of these without the hub since I already have it from a previous purchase.

> 3 dayEasy set up, very little latency and super long range. Works well with Alexa and you can set up your own scenes and triggers. For instance I own a acre lot and my barn in all the way on one end and my house is on the other end of the lot and I have full signal with all units. Anyways I have it set up so that as soon as I open the door the shop lights come on. I love that because the light switch is on the far end of the 24 foot barn, no more fumbling in the dark. Only draw back is the app looses its place and may show a light is on when its off and sometimes it may say cant connect but it will work after a couple tries. All and all I love it and will be purchasing more of their products

> 3 dayI have been very happy with the Yolink devices. The use of LoRa for connectivity means much longer range and from my experience a much more reliable connection. The app is very easy to use and pairing the devices consists of scanning a code which could not be easier. The devices integrate with Alexia without an issue and unlike some of the IoT devices I have used have proven to be very stable over time. I like that I can put a switch on my mailbox on the street and get notification on my apple watch when the mail is delivered.

> 3 dayIf you have ever had your washing machine drain line come out of the ABS drain in the wall you know how much water your washing machine can pump out onto the floor. By plugging your washing machine power into this cube and linking it to a Yolink water sensor positioned on the floor the power to your washing machine will shut off when the sensor detects the water on the floor and stop pumping the water out. This is also very helpful if you have ever had the water fill sensor malfunction and the tub continues to fill with water until it starts running over the top. I also linked the floor positioned water sensor to a YOLINK 1 Commercial Grade Smart Motorized Stainless Steel Valve so if either the hot or cold water supply lines that feed the washing machine start leaking the water supply to the house will be shut off. A great piece of mind for anyone that has had a washing machine water leak.
