> 3 dayThe YoLink temperature sensor is fantastic. We purchased three YoLink temperature sensors. We put one in the freezer, a second in the freezer of the main fridge, and a third in the freezer of the smaller fridge. The devices are rugged, accurate, compact, and even nice looking. Setup was incredibly easy. The app is great. We get phone notifications and emails (depending on my setup) if the temperature or humidity is above or below the range I set. It is particularly helpful if we leave the freezer door slightly open. We purchased these temperature sensors because of their excellent ratings to protect our foods and refrigeration appliances at home. Once, before we had these devices, we were traveling for a couple of weeks, and the fridge stopped working. Because we did not have these temperature sensors then, we did not know until we got home. The food had rotted and stank horribly. The whole house was smelly for days. We cleaned the fridge and had it repaired, but the smell never went away from the fridge, and we had to dispose of the fridge and buy a new one, which was a big expense. Customer service is excellent. We are very pleased with the YoLink temperature sensors. Since purchasing them, we bought other YoLink devices, including leaks sensors and motion sensors, and we like them all.

Greater than one weekPros: Easy to install, communicates with rest of Yolink integrated system, can provide voice warnings when used with a speaker hub. I purchased two thermometers that I wanted to integrate with the rest of my Yolink water leak detection and shutoff system along with my speaker hub. Installation was a breeze, scan the qr code, push the set button, and you are in. Because I have a Yolink speaker hub I was able to program the thermometers to issue a voice warning when the refrigerator temperature went above 42 deg. F (the high and low temperature limits are programmable). Programming is very easy and intuitive. Without a speaker hub, users will receive an email and notification and, optionally, a text message. Customer service is excellent. Batteries are supposed to last two years or more and the Yolink app shows the battery status of all components. When compared to a calibrated digital thermometer, the Yolink thermometers were well within one degree of accuracy. As a bonus, the thermometer keep a history of temperature and humidity. These thermometers are designed for indoor use. Very pleased with this product.

> 3 dayBought this to monitor the because it had a better range than other options. I needed to monitor the temperature/humidity in a coldfrrame in my garden. It’s down the hill from my house so I wasn’t sure if it would have the range I needed. Just pugged it in and set it in the cold frame. It works great! I think I will buy another for my small greenhouse in the same location!

> 3 dayI already have a hub and 3 sensors. Adding 2 more was as easy as scanning the QR and pressing the button. I added one to my shop and the other to my greenhouse. Setting the temperature alarms was just as easy! I tried other temperature sensors and they just didnt have the transmission range. Battery life is fantastic! If you need to monitor temperatures, Yolink is the way to go!

> 3 dayIm 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.

> 3 dayI confused two products that I bought. Check my Govee review for this YoLink item. I blame Amazon for not having the product brand name on the items to review page … and the icon photos are extremely small! Amazon gets a 2 star on that “service”

> 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 dayI did not have high hopes since I am expecting a device to communicate through block walls AND metal shed walls....BUT it is actually picking up a good signal! I am super impressed so far and I will continue to monitor and tinker with it this weekend. This device may have found a new home! Now I wish YoLink would make security cameras! You listening YoLink? Give us cameras! edited to add: This wifi hygrometer is amazing. It only lost signal one time, and thats when some guys installing a new fence for me cut my cable on accident. I was immediately alerted that connection was lost. I left work and pulled up to my house and asked why they cut the cable...they were baffled how I knew. lol I also sent an in app message to the developers and surprisingly received an email back within 12 hours.

> 3 dayFirst used to monitor our garage fridge, but stupidly didnt setup the alarm strategy. The fridge failed and we lost tons of food. After the repair, bought 2 more for the house fridge and set them up properly. The house fridge revealed a performance problem that Im working to fix. Its fancy digital settings & display mislead you to expect its controlling properly, but the Yolink temperature graph seems to show otherwise.
