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

The manual switch feels cheap. The quality of the mechanical switch is poor when compared with other switch manufacturers. The smart or wifi part works. Great.

It takes getting used to only 1 way switching on/off but super simple to add and works like a charm! Replaced a bad switch and now alexa controlled as well. I can access from my phone and all yolink product is very easy to use and run on the app. Connection time is very fast. I have to say this to all my product.

Works great with the YoLink hub and even better when paired with a YoLink motion sensor. You can connect the sensor directly with the switch and lights turn on instantly. You will need to pigtail a neutral wire which is not included. And unfortunately no three-way control. Overall a great product though. Good customer support as well.

Works great, connects to hub no router. I wish the led light could be turned off (its red when the light is off, and bright to me) but the switch functions flawlessly, and is in my living room connected to some track lights so doesnt disturb my sleep.

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.

Ive 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.

First, the motion detection doesnt log out notify the app when someone triggers the light. Which is the only reason I wanted it. However, the first switch didnt work. No connection to the hub!!!! So, it returned it and tried the second time. It connected to the hub!!! Yeah!!! Then the connection stopped working. Boo!!!! It still turns on the light, but you cant see its status of turn it on through the hub. I would return it, but it is in a different state than me now. So, a lesson learned.

The Yolink uses LoRa connectivity which has been for me way more reliable than any of my WiFi connected devices. While I have not tested this switch over a quarter of a mile I do have another YoLink on my mailbox which is quite some distance from the house and it reliably notifies me when the mail shows up. I did have a problem with one of my switches which was quickly cleared up by the Yolink support as I had inadvertently miss wired a switch. The switch plays very easy with Alexia.

Sorry about pic showing debris on switch :( I usually dont write reviews on products I just started using...but going on short internet hiatus so... Yaays: The YoLink wall switch + app + LoRa connectivity makes for nice control setup (SW not very polished but the HW is nice). In my garage I have motion switch to turn on ceiling light, and I replaced toggle switch with YoLink wall switch. I bought $1.50 2-gang switch plate and used #6 screws (Ill paint white later). The YoLink switch sends power to 100W LED Barn Light (with Dusk to Dawn photocell) mounted atop the garage . I used to physically go to garage if I wanted to turn on/off. Now I can: > Disable the barn light from coming on (switch=OFF); > Enable the barn light to turn on (switch=ON) when sky is dark and off when sky is light (means it will light during daytime eclipses, super dark storm clouds, etc., not just dusk/dawn). > Manually turn on/off using button, using a remote, using YoLink app, using Alexa app or Siri-to-Alexa Shortcut). It works very nicely (when it works). Awws: A bit expensive (I think $20 is a better price point); The LED is a little cartoonish looking (but could add a overlay); It creaks so feels like thinnest plastics they could get away with. For garage or basement, OK. Dont want to put in my nice rooms. I did once get no connection to hub from phone but on retry it recovered (hopefully not a frequent occurance). Overall: Nice upgrade. There is possibility to use D2D and have light come on when triggered by some other switch.
