> 3 dayI am using this product to monitor the temperature in my chicken coop. I really only care about cold temperature to prevent frozen pollo. I was able to set up a cold temperature alert that goes to my phone. There is no history though, in that if you lose WiFi to the device it registers no temperature until your WiFi is back. I thought it would record the temperature at the sensor and update the app when it came back online. It is great for the price. It only updates in hour intervals so if you want to monitor something more often I would suggest another product or possibly another app could poll the sensor more frequently.

> 3 dayHeard a lot of negatives about the refrigerator I just bought freezing food in the fridge compartment when they set the dial to Recommended. I had the same problem and decided to get the temperature sensors from Yolink (I already own a number of their products). After installing it, the manufactures recommended settings was way off. I turned the fridge settings much lower and the freezer higher and after playing with the temperature controls, I got the temperatures to be perfect. Fridge stays between 34 and 38 degrees and the freezer between 0 and 5 degrees according the sensors and app. I even got a text one day when the temperature in the fridge went to 33 degrees since my app was set to notify when it gets below 34. I highly recommend these sensors

> 3 dayI was looking for a system to monitor my home while I was away. After doing hours of research I selected the YoLink solution because, for my needs, it offered the best combination of available functionality and simplicity/reliability. The system connects to the internet using a small hub device. The *many* available monitors and sensors connect wirelessly to the hub using LoRa wireless technology, The LoRa wireless operates on a different frequency than home wifi and offers greater range. It easily penetrates walls and floors. All of my monitor/sensor wireless connections located in 3 levels of my home and garage are rock-solid. Setup is unbelievably simple. First install the phone app. Then setup the hub which can be connected to your home network wireless or hard wired. To add devices to the system, simply scan the QR code label on each sensor using the app and it will be added to your homes system. Thats it! I am currently using this for temperature/humidity monitoring, water leak detection and garage door (open-closed) status right out of the box. I havent yet tried programming which can add additional functionality. Using the apps notification features I can get alerts,etc on my phone and even on my Apple watch over the cellular network. I get all of this for a reasonable price. BTW, for video monitoring, I use Blink cameras. Using both systems is not cumbersome or inconvenient.

Greater than one weekI 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”

Greater than one weekI ordered an additional temperature sensor as I have a few already and I am happy with them. I also have some water leak sensors. I was having a little trouble setting it up and contacted customer service and they walked me through it as they always do -I am very happy with the product and the service!

> 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.

> 3 dayWell worth the money I paid, the health inspector loves this system. I can monitor my temps, get alerts or turn them off, I can look at history and see the refrigeration cycles and consistency of the units. Ive caught problems before they destroyed product twice now by just paying attention to patterns.

> 3 dayWorked easily out of the box (I already owned the hub). Like many, I am using in a cold environment, my refrigerator. So the notification from the device occurs when the temperature goes DOWN. But in these applications, I am obviously concerned if the temperature goes UP, indicating a malfunction or power outage in my frig. UPDATE: I subsequently figured out that one can custom specify a normal range of temps, and be notified when the temp falls outside the range. Now 5 stars.

> 3 dayVery easy set up. Allows me to see freezer temp on my phone. After the freezer door was left open twice, this will warn me long before Ive lost food due to thawing! Well worth the investment!
