> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI started out using YoLink water sensors September 2020 (4 sensors w/ hub). Installed them in my finished basement and laundry and didnt really give them much thought until I received my first notification/alert, I was doubtful but immediately went to check and low and behold, I had a slow leak in a slop sink. These sensors saved me from a HUGE headache. I went and bought another 4 pack and have these sensors EVERYWHERE. Now that I have the water issues under control, I have started to work on humidity & temperature in my home with their sensors. Temp & humidity sensors are just as easy and accurate! These are great products and I look forward to what new products will be released next.

> 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)

Greater than one weekI had doubts when I ordered this, but it has absolutely been worth it! I bought an upright freezer a couple years ago after our chest freezer failed. The upright does not have any kind of spring or anything at all to help it close, and twice within a few months we lost a lot of food after not noticing that the door was slightly ajar after getting something out. Now the kids and I try to be religious about double checking the door is shut, but this sensor still has come to the rescue 2 or 3 times so far. Ive set it to trigger if the freezer temp gets warmer than 25 - the freezer is set to zero and getting something out bumps it up maybe 10 degrees. It has no issues connecting from inside our freezer in the basement to the hub upstairs and a couple rooms over. The battery life still shows full, and it keeps a log of temperature and humidity over time. Im absolutely thrilled with this product, especially at the price point, and given that the system has other sensors we can use with terrific range.

> 3 dayImpressed. I tried 4 types of wireless monitors in my commercial freezer and fridge. This one works. It picks up a signal without ethernet or plug/power line needed. Its lightweight and has a display on monitor. Smart app, no monthly subscription and I can pull up on pc using Bluejeans app. It also has other monitors that can be added - power failure, smoke, Motion detectors Love it

> 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 dayAlthough 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.
