This was purchased so that I could install a sensor on my mailbox. I learned how to install from youtube videos. Double-sided tape is used to attach it. tape that is double-sided My alexa now lets me know when the mail is delivered. It's no longer necessary to walk out to the mailbox only to discover that the mail has yet to arrive. I used the second sensor on the side gate so Alexa could double-check that the gate was closed before letting the dog out. I am overjoyed!.
I've recently tried a few of the other mailbox alert systems, but they simply can't keep up. My mailbox is approximately 130 feet away from my home. I went for a walk with this sensor to test the signal, and it appears to be good for 1,000 feet, as advertised. However, I did not take the time to measure the distance. In the long run, I'm confident that this system will work properly. I've also connected it to Alexa so that when it's triggered, it announces that you've received mail. It's kind of cool. It will remain in my possession.
The gate contact suddenly stopped working after 43 days with this product on the gate. I'm currently attempting to contact YoLink customer service, but they're on the west coast and I'm on the east, which is causing me a lot of trouble. Until something went wrong, the gate contact and app notification were perfect.
This system is installed on my rural property, and the specific item for which I was asked to provide feedback is a gift for a friend. He is particularly pleased with the Yolink system's functionality, particularly its increased range. Yolink products are an excellent choice if you require a wireless sensor for a gate.
The lack of a built-in alarm was disappointing. Phone alarms are available, but they require the purchase of a separate horn. You can't set the alarm for less than 10 minutes because the software isn't designed that way. It's possible that your child or dog will have vanished by then. It's time to retool the software. Now I'll have to spend an additional $50 on an audible alarm that will only sound once every ten minutes.
The hardware is of good quality, and there is a wide range of options. However, YoLink's integration capabilities are severely limited if you use another brand or system. Yolink believes that their viewpoint is that they should only use our products.
I wasn't expecting these to be as effective as they are. I've since purchased a number of additional devices for water leak detection and temperature monitoring, and they've all performed admirably thus far.
It has made me very happy.
