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

This light control is easy to install and simple to connect to the system. Consistently dependable. An excellent purchase.

I recently installed this light at the opposite end of my home from the hub, and the response time is excellent. I called customer service to figure out if the red LED light could be turned off, and a human answered the phone on the second ring. Excellent customer service. The only complaint is the bright red LED light that activates when the switch is off. I was able to pop off the front of the switch and cover the light with a small piece of black gorilla tape. Problem Solved. I will be first in line to buy when they come out with a dimmer light switch.

Bought this to primarily operate outside lights to come on at dusk and off at dawn. Was easy to install, however, was not mentioned in instructions that it had to have a common wire connected. Only after it not working and searching internet did I find this requirement. The only other thing negative about the switch is that its meant to be used alone as a single switch. It is all plastic and there is no hole to attach a face plate to, except the one it comes with, which snaps in place. I wanted to use it in a double gang setup as shown in picture. There are holes in it which line up with the face plate, however, they are not threaded and too small for standard face plate screws

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.

The wall switches work as advertised and I love the fact that I can light up my back yard and side yard from my phone. From my shop to the house is about 75 feet. Works GREAT from the phone. Lights are super bright and light up the entire area just as I was hoping. I wasnt looking forward to digging a trench from the house to the shop to bury a line to operate the outside lights. Now I dont have to. YOLINK took care of that for me. Just built the shop and in the process of wiring it up now. YOLINK is going to be installed as I go along. Once I get the house / shop all equipped with the required YOLINK items we, then I will start on connecting them to work together. So Far I am impressed with the quality and simplicity of the system.

I decided to give the YoLink light switches a try after purchasing a Yolink hub and flood sensors a few months earlier. I needed to replace some much older motion sensor/light switch combos that only worked with incandescent bulbs. Of all the options I looked at, these were by far the best value and I liked the wide range of products that work together with the same hub and app. Initially I was looking at Zwave or Zigbee products but decided on YoLink after comparing prices and doing the math. Most of the YoLink devices can be paired together directly in addition to pairing with the hub, such that simple automations will still work if the Internet connection is down (e.g. activating a switch with a motion sensor or door sensor). On the downside, YoLinks communication protocol is proprietary and not compatible with APIs like OpenHAB. But so far the apps built-in automation features have been enough for my needs. The only other thing I would nitpick is that you cant configure the LED behavior on the switch itself, which some competing products allow. Alexa integration works great. The YoLink app keeps full history of switch state and allows configuring the switchs power-on state (recovery after power failure), which can be on, off, or last state. Device firmware upgrades are easy, though I would not recommend kicking off more than one or two at a time, as they all need to download from the hub. Overall Im pretty happy with this purchase as well as other products in YoLinks ecosystem.

Quality

It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Installation was trivial, aside from the usual challenges associated with stuffing everything back into the electrical box - par for the course with today’s smart devices. Wago connectors instead of wire nuts can sometimes help with that. The on/off LED indicator is maybe a little overdone, but it doesn’t really bother me. Adopting the switch into the Yolink network requires only that you can point your phone camera. Once you have the Yolink Alexa skill installed (one time shot) integration with Alexa is automatic.

Yolink has one of the best customer support Ive seen in years.

Yolink switch + Yolink Humidity sensor = no more damaged mirrors in the bathroom due to water condensation.
