YoLink Smart Plug with Energy Monitoring, 1/4 Mile Worlds Longest Range Smart Home Mini Outlet Works with Alexa Google Assistant IFTTT Remote Control Home Appliances Anywhere, YoLink Hub Required

Works find as a Yolink controlled outlet but as far as a smart power monitor product it only provides Wh (Watts/hour?) on an hourly basis. There is no amperage reading which is what I was really after. No granularity, no min/max. Not sure this is worth the extra cost over a normal plug Yolink sells.

Used it to turn on/off a intex 14 Sand pool pump. Works with alexa, you can also monitor your power history... kinda nice. Contol this device with the YoLink app or your Alexa. Called support to ensure product will work with what I was trying to do. Very knowledgeable and kind. Solid unit.

The WiFi setup is probably the most challenging step in setting this up, but once you’ve determined your modem settings for compatibility, the installation process is quite simple. The app is also very versatile and you can use it to set a timer for the device you’ve plugged on. A nice feature on the app is power consumption for your device, I’ve attached a snapshot for your reference.

This is a very good smart plug set based on more than 3 month of daily use . First of all , the design is is modern and beautiful. Instruction for installation is clear and easy to follow . The plug is 12.5A, suitable for most of my appliances. I’m using the two plugs to control the lamp and the space heater in my master bedroom . They’re very responsive when I control them through the APP. Their statuses change instantly without any delays . Setting schedule and timer works great just as advertised. I can also check their energies daily, weekly and monthly.I set the turn-on time for the space heater as 7pm as I usually get home by 7:30pm. It executes well . But for days when I get to the house late , I just power on the plugs via my App. I don’t really use other bedrooms in the house . But before I started to use space heater +smart plug, I had to keep the house heater on for the whole day or it would so freezing. Now I can turn on the space heater in my master bedroom ahead of time . That’s a lot of saving on electricity bill without sacrificing comfort . Lol With only two YoLink plugs, I can just make automation between them. I think it will better if I have more YoLink devices to improve convenience of living. Actually I have already purchased the garage controller set. Excited ! By the way , the system works great with Alex. It makes my life much easier specially when I can turn on/off my the lamp while I’m being lazy lying in bed .

The Yolink is based on LoRa connectivity and i have found this to be way more reliable than any of my WiFi connected devices. The switch interfaces nicely with Alexia and has been super reliable.

I have been holding off on a home automation solution because I couldnt find a brand that had all the functionality I was looking for along with ease of setup and affordability. I stumbled across yolink and cautiously gave them a chance since I never heard of them before. Im glad I did and have since recommended them to a number of my friends. Everything works as should and I love the smart IFTTT integrations. The possibilitys are endless. Ive since setup water detectors, motion detectors (Mailbox w/alexa integration), garage doors controllers and 12 wifi light switches so I can easily control all of my outdoor lights. All works great. The wireless range on these devices is amazing too. I was hesitant because I didnt want to add a hub but after learning more about LoRa and the range it broadcasts Im glad I did.

We live rural and are on a well water system. Due to the distance our well is from our house we have a booster pump located near the house for increasing the water pressure to the house and the lawn irrigation system. I have our booster pump plugged into this smart plug so I can turn it on and off remotely from my phone as needed via the Yolink app. It works great and the app tells you when the smart plug is on or off. This plug can be used for many things like seasonal exterior lighting, water fountains etc...

This review covers primarily the remote control and not the plugs. (The plugs are outstanding) The remote represents a step backwards in the otherwise outstanding technology represented by the YoLink product line. The remote will only control five individual devices. It will not at present control scenes. The superb addition of devices into a local system by scanning a printed code on the device does not apply to the remote. Instead it is back to pushing buttons, etc. a real retrograde! Do not recommend buying the remote until YoSmart gets the firmware upgraded to be in the same league as the remainder of this great product line. Come on, YoSmart. Get the remote up to speed!

I have used various smart plugs and these are by far the easiest to set up and get working. I also love that there are other products available that allow you to monitor / control them all from one app. These are great. May order more for vacation home.

I use YoLink products in my home and my ice cream shop. It was so easy to set up these products using the QR codes. The new long range technology is incredible and so reliable! I even have temperature sensors inside freezers that are linked to the hub!! I am so excited about these products that I bought five kits for Christmas gifts for my family!
