> 3 dayI had a plug in a remote corner of my home that had a competators WiFi controlled plug. I would lose connectivity. I cant blame the wifi plug, but had very little options to improve the sub-prime location of my wireless router other than costly investment in MESH or other solutions. So, I repurposed that plug to another location and used this product from YoLink. Once I set up the LoRa hub (REQUIRED!) and the plug, it works wonderfully. It was easy and quick to set up and when I went to Alexa I was smiling what I found that the YoLink SKILL actually had a positive rating unlike many others. After this great experience, Ive added 4 of their water sensors, an indoor and outdoor thermometer, and got 2 of the FlexFobs. All accessories were similarly easy to set up to connect to the same HUB and very quick to set up and get into my Alexa routines. Literally 20 seconds to set up using the scan QR code in the App. It took longer to open the boxes! What I have set up (so far) • YoLink Hub • 4x Water Leak Detector • 2x Flex Fob (one wall mounted, one to carry) • Indoor Thermometer/Humidity • Outdoor Thermometer/Humidity Pros: • Easy to set up • Good range (at least better than WiFi) • Integration with Alexa • Extra credit for making use of minimal packaging. • The FlexFob can be used in any Alexa routine not just other YoLink devices (under Smart Home each of the 4 buttons is treated like a motion detector) • The FlexFob even included a wall mounting bracket, which was a pleasant surprise for me! Cons: • Basically none. • If I had to complain about something, I guess the mobile app could use some refinement (You need a few clicks to go into settings to change something as a favorite, etc. which maybe could have alternate way, such as a click and hold)

> 3 dayI bought the temp/humidity sensor to replace an older iHome sensor that I didnt have faith in anymore. The Yolink sensor shows similar readings to the iHome sensor, so maybe I didnt need to buy something new, but I had a great experience using Yolinks motion sensor to turn lights on in a bathroom that doesnt have wall switches so I decided to give another one of their devices a shot. Adding the Yolink sensor to the Yolink app is a breeze - you just scan the QR code and youre on your way. It appears to report the temp and humidity every few minutes (I noticed some older reviews mentioning it only updates once per hour) so that is a pleasant surprise. However, I use Alexa for all of my smart home needs, and this sensor only shows temperature in the Alexa app, and half of the display in the app is cut off. Im disappointed that the sensor doesnt send humidity data to Alexa, which means I cant trigger automations inside Alexa for alerts or turning the basement humidifier on and off outside of a set humidity range. There are only 2 data points that the sensor needs to report, and the fact that it only reports one outside of the native app (and the one I didnt really care about) really bums me out. Ill most likely stick this in the deep freezer in my garage and look for another option from another company for automation of the humidifier. I suppose I could get one of Yolinks smart outlets to handle this automation inside Yolinks app, but not being able to have my Alexa speakers produce a notification and not being able to ask Alexa what the basement humidity is leaves me wanting/expecting more.

> 3 dayCheck your home temperature and humidity from your phone at any time. Works great in an apartment without a smart thermostat and I want to check the temperature when Im away. So simple to connect to the yolink hub.

Greater than one weekLove having an App on my phone to check my stand up freezer temperature wherever I am at. Took a bit over 10 minutes to set up. Well worth the sense of security knowing that my food is safe

> 3 dayI already had a Yolink hub, and I added a couple of these to my system to monitor the temperature of my two freezers in the garage. I was skeptical about the signal getting out of a metal box, but it worked fine. In addition to preventing spoilage in the event of a power failure--I had a multi-tap power strip fail not long ago and almost lost a freezer full of food--the temperature monitors revealed that one of my freezers cycles between -2 deg. and -14 deg. I should probably replace that freezer soon since that wide a temperature swing suggests that the thermostat is not working well. I recommend this monitor. I have had good luck with all the Yolink products I have purchased.

> 3 dayThe device seems to work well in its app and is pretty accurate compared to other thermometers. I am having problems with Alexa integration and plan to call tech support later today. It shows up on the Alexa app and Alexa can tell me the temp if I ask. The problem Im having is that its not showing up under Smart home in the Alexa app so I cant setup a routine.
