YoLink Motion Sensor, 1/4 Mile World's Longest Range Smart Home Indoor Wireless Motion Detector Sensor Compatible with Alexa IFTTT, Movement Detector App Alerts Remote Monitor - YoLink Hub Required

Well there have been so many sensors. So why buy yolink? If you are thinking of this question then stop thinking and buy first and the read my review. I have been experimenting with smart home products since last 7 years when they were barely launched starting with smart bulbs and moving on to all different products and using Alexa to bind them and then comes these sensors. Frankly I have wasted tons of money on contact and motion sensors. I have tried sensors linked to hubs via zigbee and zwave which have their own problems with regards to range and going offline etc etc Then comes wifi sensors which require routers in every room and they have a significant lag ofcourse. And if your wifi is down then bye bye to them Frankly I was so fed up I stopped using any sensors. Controlled everything with voice which works atleast 99% of time And then I read about yolink. Their loran technology. I am from aviation and yes we have knowledge of long range technology and different wavelengths as such. So we'll it seemed interesting. But I had wasted enough money and now I cannot trust anyone unless I try my hands on. For a change just ordered 2 motion sensors and one hub just to experiment knowing I will lose my money again I stay in part of world where we use brick and concrete walls where even drill machines give up, forget any sensors. And when nothing works it's YOLINK which works. And they were flawless. I did a stress test. Kept their hub in living room and I installed motion sensors in bathroom which are inside my bedroom. There are like quite a few walls and doors between hub and sensors. And oh my god they just work instant. Like super instant. They are truly truly SUPER LONG RANGE So they can pass through walls concrete bricks doors and what all and still respond instant Best thing each set up literally takes 20 secs flat. I bet not more than 20 secs ever. I was so happy I order so many more sensors. As of now I have 12 window door sensors, 5 motion sensors, key fob and their speaker hub. To set all these sensors over all it took me like less than 5 mins. Such straight forward pairing and app is straightforward. Also do register for their newsletter as I ended up getting 20% coupons which saved quite an amount. Overall I feel nothing can beat these sensors ever in terms of simplicity reliability and range which is my fav as its superrrr looong range. Hats off for such wonderful products and technology.

I have been using YoLink products for 4 years now. This is another great product of theirs. Simple to install, great battery life and does a great job of what it’s supposed to do. Best thing is the long range. No more worrying about whether your Wi-Fi signal is going to be strong enough, YoLink products use LORA, which is a low frequency, long range radio wave system that gives up to 1/4 mile range. I have YoLink sensors as far as 800’ from my hub and no problem. With the 40 or so YoLink sensors I have, I’ve had to deal with YoLink tech support a few times and have always found them to be over-the-top excellent in their response, even going so far as to send me replacements as long as several years after my purchase. I’m an electrical engineer with a specialty in digital communication and I design radio frequency communication products among other things. I have nothing but good things to say about YoLink products and support.

Bought this sensor to monitor my RV that is parked at the barn about 100 yds from the house. Winterized it, and setup the YoLink temp sensor inside, indoor motion sensor, and outdoor motion sensor. The speakerhub is in the house on wifi and gives alerts from the devices for motion and low or high temp. Have had it setup for a few months now. It's been very reliable, handles the distance well. The alerts are configurable, I use email, and the app notifications. Was super easy to setup, device batteries haven't needed any attention so far.

Love the Yolink brand. This sensor works great. I have it set up in the basement and it will let me know each time my cat goes to his liter box. The vet wanted to know how often he was going to the box as he has a UTI. The logs were helpful keeping track of the data. I also have it turn a smart outlet on that has a floor lamp plugged into. The lamp only turns on when it is dark but the sensor reports 24/7. The sensor also turns the light off after 10 minutes of no activity. Getting another for my garage.

At first I wasn't sure about the sensor because I thought I was getting false motion alerts, but after reviewing my security camera footage I noticed it was triggering every time a cloud blocked the sun. After taking it out of direct sunlight I had no more false alarms. The connection to Alexa works great. I have it set up so that it works just like the ring doorbell (Alexa annouces "motion detected in the backyard" for example). It's very reliable!
