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

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.

Easy to install. I made my own bracket Connects easily and is reliable

Easy to install and reasonably priced.

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!

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.

Best contact open/closed sensor on the market. New strong signal to hub, utilizes two alkaline AAA battery batteries, runtime of batteries is 2 years,. I have six in service and have not had a dropped signal from any sensor. Also can utilize multiple programming possibilities and notifications.
