Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
Smart Door, Gate, and Window Monitoring: With the YoLink app, you can keep track of whether your doors, gates, and windows are open or closed. Smart Contact Closure Monitoring: Use the included wired magnetic contacts or connect the sensor to any relay or device with normally-closed dry (no-voltage) contact closure to receive immediate notifications when the door is opened at specific times or when it is left open for an extended period of time. The app will show whether the device is open or closed.
The world's longest wireless range: Using LoRa technology, this long-range, low-power system has the industry's longest receiving range (1/4 mile). Because of our long-range coverage, it can be used in places where most residential Wi-Fi systems can't, like basements, outdoor porch/patio areas, sheds, free-standing garages, and even remote outbuildings on your property.
Early-Warning Notifications - Receive real-time early-warning notifications in the form of smartphone banner alerts, limited SMS/text messages, and emails, all of which are optional and configurable according to your needs; Please note that the YoLink Contact Sensor does not alarm or chime; instead, consider our Siren Alarm.
Plug, Plug, Plug In minutes, connect Hub to an outlet, connect Hub to your router, scan for new devices, and enjoy your new system! Your Hub is the only device that connects to the Internet, so you'll need either a wired or WiFi connection (wired is recommended for ease of use). The difficulty of setting up a WiFi connection varies, and it may necessitate changing network and/or phone settings. Changes to your network, passcodes, and other settings necessitate changes in the app.
From basic to advanced: After you've set up your notification preferences, keep it simple and let the YoLink system take care of the rest, including monitoring your home and property. To interact with other YoLink and 3rd-party smart devices, use the advanced automation features available, such as third-party integration with Alexa and IFTTT. Your imagination is the only limit!

As a mailbox sensor, it is used
5/5

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!.

This is perfect for the mailbox
5/5

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.

Although the product is functional, it is not without flaws
5/5

  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.

Customers who are happy with their purchase
5/5

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.

There is no built-in alarm system
3/5

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.

Doesn't get along with other people very well
3/5

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.

The range of options is incredible, as is the ease with which they can be installed
5/5

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.
