YOLINK LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor: Up to 1/4 Mile Open-Air Range, Door Left-Open Reminders, up to 5 Year Battery Life, Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant

Bought one for each door and one for each window. Doors work fine. Cant even install in windows at all. Have normal vertical sash windows. Each sash takes one sensor rather than one for both (thats 2x sensors). There are so many window configurations in my home (vertical hinged, horizontal hinged all with indoor screens). Each type needs custom made spacers for the magnets to be installed. Im making them all but am very surprised that for windows theres not a huge variety of spacers for the magnets, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4. Sad story for what is great service, tech support. Also alerts are not good. Someone breaks into your home and you get the same phone alert/notification that you get for email, ebay, amazon. Got YoLink leak sensors and siren alarms too. When someone breaks in and they alarm you dont know weather to grab your gun or your plumbers wrench. Not well thought out.

Product itself is great but not getting timely push notifications when door is opened or closed. Only received them when clicking on the application itself. Have sent an email to the company requesting assistance but so far no response. I also have the SmartThings Hub and inotifications are instant and problem-free. I just received an email from the company and they said that there is a bug in the app and theyll be releasing a new one within 7 days Ill keep you posted as to the progress and update my rating as necessary App released this morning and now push notifications coming in just fine. They need to work on their English translations for the alert, but thats a minor issue. I hope this company succeeds they have awesome products!

The 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) Long range. These smart devices can be way away from the hub and still work without any issues. 4) The ease of setup, the hub and devices are extremally easy to setup. Open the app, scan the bar code on the side of the device 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, so easy and simple to setup. 5) YoLink has many different smart devices that will work with Alexa and my other smart devices. 6) Everywhere I searched, included youtube, YoLink received very high rating. The reason I decided to try (and love) these YoLink door sensors. I wanted some sensor on/in my workshop which is over 150 feet away from my home. I could not find any sensors or smart devices that would work at that distance from my house. The wifi reaches out that far and past, just most smart devices just could not send a signal back that far. I tried adding a wifi repeater. This caused connection issues with wifi enabled smart devices. So I decided to to try Yolinks Door & Window sensors. These Yolink smart devices cover the distance with ease. I have now installed some on my barn, which is even further away from my house. Still no issues. So, Yes, I highly recommend the Yolink Door & Window sensors, hub and their other devices for the reasons stated above.

Great Product!!! You can used on door, windows. Super easy to setup(just scan the code bar). The integration with the HUB its a piece a cake(be sure to buy the hub separately or a combo). You can also buy a siren alarm from this same company if you want any noise for any who tries to enter your place.

Great product and TERRIFIC Customer Service/Tech Support!!!

Deceits in its product description. This listed in products that support TuYa/ Smart Life app. Now it says I have to use their hub and app. I cannot use 10 different apps for 10 different sensors - I’m using Smart Life and it’s sensor ecosystem is pretty good. Why do I need loyalty to this new kind?! I don’t.

I installed this in a medium-gauge steel mailbox 125 feet from the hub which sits inside a wood frame house. Despite reading a very weak -120dBm signal strength in the app, the sensor triggers correctly every time the mailbox is opened. The app is superb, allowing you to define what aspect of the event triggers a text or email: opening, closing, or being open for a specified length of time. You can pick whether to get text, email, neither, or both. For tech geeks, this merits 6 stars. Ive also got the excellent leak sensors.

Very easy to install. The kids never close doors. Now, I get a text if the door is left open too long!

I purchased this device because my husband kept leaving our front door opened. Can you imagine how frustrating that would be? So after looking at many of the available options on Amazon, I decided on this one. Customer service was incredible. They sent me instructions on installation and we’re extremely responsive to my questions. They have a YouTube channel that walks you through installing everything as well. They even walked me through enabling Alexa with my device. This device was very easy to install, but the best part is, it works like magic. Both my husband and I get alerts on our phones when the door opens and closes, and Alexa also chimes in! This was an incredible find, and I am so happy I made this purchase. No more opened door! I highly recommend this product for home security.

I bought he leak sensors and a window/door sensor. The hub and sensors were very easy to install. I plugged the hub into my wifi router and it activated within a minute, I paired the leak sensors and tested them, they alarmed as soon as I put them in water. The door sensor on my garage doors gives me peace of mind when I am not home, it sends an alert to my phone every time the door open and when it closes.
