> 24 hourI have been very happy with the Yolink devices. The use of LoRa for connectivity means much longer range and from my experience a much more reliable connection. The app is very easy to use and pairing the devices consists of scanning a code which could not be easier. The devices integrate with Alexia without an issue and unlike some of the IoT devices I have used have proven to be very stable over time. I like that I can put a switch on my mailbox on the street and get notification on my apple watch when the mail is delivered.

> 24 hourEasy set up, very little latency and super long range. Works well with Alexa and you can set up your own scenes and triggers. For instance I own a acre lot and my barn in all the way on one end and my house is on the other end of the lot and I have full signal with all units. Anyways I have it set up so that as soon as I open the door the shop lights come on. I love that because the light switch is on the far end of the 24 foot barn, no more fumbling in the dark. Only draw back is the app looses its place and may show a light is on when its off and sometimes it may say cant connect but it will work after a couple tries. All and all I love it and will be purchasing more of their products

> 24 hourThese are slightly too big vertically, so that when you put one above the other (in the same outlet) they BARELY fit (and even rub against each other, which I wonder is a possible concern?). Otherwise, they work exactly as they should and are very easy to program.

> 24 hourI bought 4 of these in August 2021. 1 of them has already failed. While Yolink offers 2 year warranty on some products, they only offer a 1 year warranty on 120V products. Ive had cheaper brands work longer than these have.

> 24 hourI first heard about YoLink products when I was shopping for a home security system that was I expensive yet effective. Thank goodness I found YoLink! After using their very easy to install products I decided to see what else they sold. Their smart plugs work great with the hub and it is so easy to set a schedule for the lights to turn on and off when I am away. I like the fact that there is a central hub... Ive used other brands smart plugs that dont require a hub; however, unfortunately newer wifi routers constantly change channels and frequencies, thereby cutting off the connection to the smart plugs, rendering them useless. I own four YoLink smart plugs as well as the siren alarm, door / window sensors, smart plug remote and motion sensor, and I am extremely happy with my purchases. I will gladly order from YoLink again and have recommended this company to my neighbors as well. Great integration, easy set up, inexpensive and, most importantly, effective! I look forward to seeing what other products YoLink has in store and would highly recommend this product..

> 24 hourI like these plugs and use them for multiple applications around the house and property. Theyre trivial to install and get programmed with the app for very basic control rules. The low power requirements and extremely long distances permitted with these devices make them extremely compelling. I have 8 temp sensors, 3 motion detectors, 3 plugs, and one DC relay. I will continue to use Yolink products for years to come. The reason I cant give this a fifth star is that it uses a mechanical relay (you hear the click when its turning on and off), but it cant handle an inductive load (like a power tool or heater coil). Ive never seen an adequately sized mechanical relay fail due to the type of current loading on the switch. However, my first plug died after about 8 months of use running a small (< 200 Watt) space heater. Its still connected and the LED switches from red to blue and back, but theres no power delivered. Lastly, the Yolink app needs a little help before this setup is ready for prime time. 1) It needs the programming ability to turn the plugs on and off based on two threshold criteria (to emulate hysteresis). 2) The base station needs to function without a connection to the Internet (my ISP drops my connection for hours on a regular basis and I live right outside a major metro). 3) The whole Yolink system needs better integration support for common third party automation hubs such as Google Nest, Home Assistant, and others that implement the most common backhaul protocols.

> 24 hourI have found Yolink products to be some of the most reliable products on the market. I have this plug in an out building about 200 ft from the hub. It works great.

> 24 hourExcellent software control of devices with many features and ease of programming. Setup out of the box consists of scanning the Q code and plugging into the outlet. Every device has its own schedule and can be activated out of the schedule mode by Alexa or pressing the side button. LED light changes from red to blue indicating whether on or off. Plug configuration still allows access to the second receptacle of a duplex outlet. Clean design.
