YoLink Smart Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor, Wide Temp Range (-22 to 158 Degree) for Freezer, Fridge, Green House, Pet Cage, Smartphone Alerts - Hub Required

Used for bearded dragon tank

These are a little complicated (for a simple mind like mine) to set up and get connected but overall, I like them and have ordered a couple more sensors since.

Although YoLink does not support the major home automation protocols like Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter or Thread, these devices have a major plus, they work, they work the first time and very easy to set up which cannot be said for the above protocols. Adjustment provided if you need to make an adjustment to temperature readings, mine were close enough that I did not bother. History display is excellent and alarms seem to work as intended. Note that it requires its own hub but the hub is inexpensive and only one is needed. I have not tried to get system to work with Google so can not speak to that. Excellent for use in freezers, work well through the steel box.

This device saved me a lot of grief. I put it in the refrigerator and discovered the temperature was going up into the 40’s overnight. The digital fridge temp always said it was 37, so I wouldn’t have know there was an issue until the fridge conked out. I got the fridge fixed before it was a huge hassle. This device is worth every penny!

I bought this unit because the price is right and it has great reviews. I just set it up and it was super easy and the readings seem to be pretty accurate. Im only downgrading one star because I also bought it because I wanted a nice large display. The picture in the listing make the unit look like its four or five inches across, but as you can see in the picture Im posting its pretty tiny. I know this is partially my fault because I guess I didnt pay close enough attention to the specifications, but I do believe the picture is deceiving.

I had a need to monitor 2 refrigerators and 1 new upright freezer. These fit the bill perfectly and at a great price as I purchased 3 of them. My first foray into LoRa technology, Im happy I chose these as I can view temp/humidity levels in all 3 units on my phone, and get alerts if they are out of a range I set for each device. As far as accuracy, I cannot report as I do not have a NIST-traceable standard in which to compare. As far as precision, the fact they are in close agreement speaks to that (see photo). Primary down side to these devices is that you need another app on your smart phone to view. Bottom line: Very good value and I would/will continue to buy as the need arises. Update: May, 2023 After a year using 3 of these, I can say with complete confidence that they are BULLETPROOF. They have been reliably monitoring 3 appliances with perfect continuity, reporting and alerting. I think the hub and LoRa technology makes all the difference as the handful of cheap WiFi smart thermometers keep dropping off the network and overall, just frustrating to use. The YoLink devices never drop out and I have confidence that I can monitor my appliances (and soon a room) while Im traveling. Im buying another today and perhaps more later. You cannot go wrong with the YoLink system.

I have lots of yolink devices these are great but I have a cheap phone so had to copy and make code darker and bigger. Then scans fine. Work great with their hub. Fairly cheap. And the product support from the company is one of the best. Plus I like that they are local in Irvine CA.

I was very surprised how easy this was to set up. It worked in honestly about 2 minutes. The long battery life is a huge plus, and its quite accurate after testing it against known conditions. About 10 minutes after opening the box Id already bought more. My only VERY small complaint is no dark-mode in the App. This works great with Google assistant. I use it so I can ask what the temp is outside and get a real answer, not one for my area code. It integrates into IFTTT quite nicely. The temperature sensors are -not- wifi connected, to be clear. The hub takes Ethernet or links to Wi-Fi, but, the sensors dont.

Im usually skeptical with low cost devices, but I was in a situation to see if I needed to buy a new fridge, but wanted to know what was going on with it since it was starting to give me issues. So I purchased the temp/humidity sensor. Let me tell you, this system is awesome! The set-up was amazingly easy, and it was true to its word that it has a long distance connection. I have the fridge on opposite ends of my 2k sq ft home. It goes through walls and sends a signal to the (dedicated, sold separately wifi base) and provides me with notifications on my cell phone as I pre-set the qualifying conditions in which to notify me. Ive been talking to my friends about this unit. Highly recommend it.

My kids keep leaving the fridge open. Not everyday, but every few months. I am very happy with YoLink’s flood/water and temperature sensors, which have been super reliable and also trigger Alexa routines I can set up. I ordered these last morning. They arrived in the evening. I literally had to open the box and scan the barcode at the back with the YoLink app and I was all set. I stuck one in my basement freezer and one in the basement fridge. It took several hours for the temperature reading to equalize to the actual temperature - there’s a bit of inertia to the temperature detection. Once it stabilized, it matched the reading on my infrared thermometer and my digital probe that I use for grilling. Likes: Easy to set up, very good range. Stores historical readings in the device which are viewable on the app. Useful to see the peaks and dips in fridge temps or house temps. The YoLInk app lets you trigger alerts (from the app) when the temperature deviates from a specified range. It also sends you emails (lets say you are traveling - you could have a friend or neighbor get an email!) Dislikes: Alexa will not let you trigger a routine based on temperature alone. I had my flood sensors set up to announce to my Echos that I had a flood in a specific area of the house.
