> 3 dayIve bought a lot of IoT widgets over the past few years. Rarely does one configure and work the first time. This is the exception-configuration of the hub, this switch, and a motion sensor was seamless, and I did not run into any issues. The YoLink app works great, but to really get the most out of it, control it using Routines from the Alexa app-from there you can have finer control of the operation of the devices. Want the light to only come on when the motion sensor triggers in the evening? Done! Want the light to automatically turn off after 15 minutes? Done! Want to shorten the on duration in the middle of the night? Done! Want to interoperate with other non-YoLink equipment? Done. I cant wait to build out the rest of my system with YoLink components. I didnt see this anywhere in the specs, but note that the switch fits a common Decorator-style switch plate, so you can integrate it physically with other standard switches.

> 3 dayThis switches were easy to installed and work as advertised, I had used a lot of wireless devices similar to this one and this easily has the longest transmission range from my house and I like how the phone app works. I did have to put a larger electrical box to accommodate stiff 12 gauge wire.

Greater than one weekMy third yolink device, super easy to setup and very reliable, love how wel it integrates with my Alexa. The Lora signal is superb And separate from the WiFi signal, I’m definitely moving all my automation to my Lora network and hope yolink will continue to create more devices.

> 3 dayInstalls like a regular wall switch. Used it to turn lights on at Sunset and go off at 11:45pm. Programming to set to Sunset was a little cumbersome using the Automation function but I was able to figure it out. Once you know it, it was easy to use. I highly recommend this product.

> 3 dayBought 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

> 3 dayI have a few sensors from YoLink and everything works and connects well. Be sure to scan the QR code on the switch before installing it or you need to pull the switch back out. My main problem with the switch is that it just feels cheap. The rocker panel is soft and sloppy. When the switch is on, there is a big, red wifi symbol lit up on the switch. The plastic behind the cover is far larger than necessary. And the switch comes with screws that dont fit an electrical box. So you need to get your own 6/32 screws. The quality just isnt there.

> 3 dayWhen paired with motion sensors (or manually /w smartphone), my switch is part of an electronic team to (among other things) light/darken zones as people/things move through. Exactly what I needed.

> 3 dayI installed two switches for overhead lights in my workshop that is located 300’ from my house. These switches are on opposite walls, requiring crossing the shop just to turn on/off lights. I also installed a YoLink Motion Detector over the entry door. So now when you enter, the overhead lights come on and stay on as long as there is motion inside. This is great as sometimes, I’m going in and out several times a day. I can also use the app on my phone to check the status of or turn any YoLink device on or off. Plus I can get notifications on my phone if the motion detector senses anything.
