YoLink LoRa Smart Vibration Sensor; Smart Shock, Glass Break, Tamper, Movement Detector, Generator Running, Email/SMS/Push Alerts, 1/4 Mile Open Air Range, Alexa, Hub is not Included

I have experience with multiple IOT platforms, including YoLink, Aqara, Lutron, VOCOLink, etc… and countless sensors for each, but until now I never had or tested a vibration sensor. My use case is around the need to monitor a pool pump and ensure it comes on-line each day. As the pump is variable speed and internally computer controlled it has to be connected to power all the time so a high-power contactor is not going to work. I thought about installing a CT probe in the power panel to monitor power usage and while that would have worked there are issues with WiFi reaching inside the metal box as well as the lack of software logic to alert proactively when there is no power usage. Anyway, I tried to simplify solving the problem by just installing a vibration sensor on the pool pump, to be able to tell and be notified when the pump comes and goes off. To hedge my bets I ordered both a YoLInk and Aqara Vibration Sensors and attached both to the pump in the same location for testing. The YoLink sensor is about 3 times larger than the Aqara one but has the advantage of using 2 x AAA batteries that are easily replaceable and since they provide more power the YoLink sensor will last longer. The YoLink sensor also has a much more customized device configuration in the YoLink app with great options that allow me to setup an alert if the pump (vibration) does not occur in the AM when the pump starts! Lastly, the YoLink sensor proved to provide 10 levels of vibration sensitivity straight in their App, whereas the Aqara sensor only provides 3 levels and for changing each one you have to also press the button on the sensor. Not very practical on Aqara! Lastly, the YoLink sensor uses LoRa long range technology and has a much better connection all the way to my pool pump. I must say I am thrilled with the performance and features of the YoLink Vibration Sensor and it has solved a very frustrating problem for me which is why I wanted to recommend it.

Most alarm systems are problematic because of short range, limited sensing devices and expensive monitoring services. YoLink is a great product Line if you’re looking for a dependable device that works over fairly long range and easy set up. They have many types of sensors to work with the system. This is a great deal for the money and extremely reliable. I recommend it over anything else I’ve tried in the past, including alarm systems that are well known and broadly advertised on television.

I have several YoLink sensors. They are easy to set up and use with the app. I love that you can adjust the level of sensitivity. I put them on my windows to help detect potential intruders, whether they are trying to open the window or using a window cutter. Highly recommended.

First I want to begin saying this product works great at sensing vibration. At max vibration detection (10) it can sense a slight finger tap on the leg of a table the detector is sitting on. And as other mentioned it works well with Alexa. My disappointment was I was going to use IFTTT so I can use it with other apps like Ring or other well known apps supported by IFTTT. Unfortunately, when logging into IFTTT, no app supports the Vibration sensor form Yolink. IFTTT supports other things from YoLink like motion, leak, temperature, and smoke sensors only. Another slight disappointment is disabling the motion device seems to do nothing in alerts I get through Alexa. I am currently trying to figure out how to disable both YoLink App and Alexa's alerts with one button. I am sure with a small updated from YoLink this vibration sensor will be everything I was looking for as it already meets 90% of my needs compared to others.

I have many YoLink devices, and the YoLink Vibration Sensor is my latest addition. The device is fantastic and very easy to use. I am using the YoLink Vibration Sensor with the YoLink Bulldog Valve Shutoff (with Wireless Controller) to turn the water off in case of an earthquake. When away from home, if a vibration is detected by any of the YoLink vibration sensors, the water is shut off by the YoLink Bulldog Valve Shutoff. This gives the house full protection in case of an earthquake (I live in California).

Amazing Product! I just jumped into the YoLink ecosystem and am pleasantly surprised. I purchased two vibration sensors for my clothes washer and dryer to notify me when they were done their cycles and they work flawlessly. I reached out to support because I originally didn't know how to set this up so I would get notified when the cycles stopped and they were quick to respond and guided me through how to setup an automation using the app. The app btw has an automation section resembling that of IFTTT and Samsung SmartThings. I also purchased the gate contact sensor, Power Failure Alarm, and hub products which I'm equally happy with. While some of the products advertised on Amazon don't mention a hub is required I found that having it was a must to take advantage of all the features, and the instructions recommend having one as well.

1. Easy to add using the YoLink app. 2. Sensitivity level can be adjusted to avoid false alarms. 3. Can be integrated with Alexa to create routines, and the YoLink alarm can be added to trigger siren. 4. YoLink devices use standard IFTTT protocol, which makes it easy to integrate with other routines. For example, the YoLink alarm can be added as a bulb or switch that can even be triggered by other events, such as motion detected on a camera, in addition to being triggered by these sensors. 5. No subscription required to get notifications or trigger the alarm. 6. Exceptional range, as the use proprietary LoRA communication protocol between sensors and hub.

This sensor has many uses - from detecting when the washing machine is done to seeing when the sump pump is running to detecting when a window is opened or broken and many many others. I actually use it in my car to see if the car has been turned on - it's that sensitive (adjustable though). Like all Yolink products, the range is incredible (several blocks away) and the quality is excellent. It uses a standard AAA battery and lasts for months which is a bonus. Many electronics these days use built in lithium batteries that eventually fail, essentially making the device a consumable. I appreciate that Yolink uses standard batteries. You can use a rechargeable NIMH if you'd like. Would absolutely recommend for any of the above uses.

This is a 18 month usage review. Purchased 2 vibration sensors and a hub for protection on the man doors for shed and garage. I attached them next to the door and have them on the lowest sensitivity setting with I would say around 98% detection rate. The email notifications worked perfect but recently noticed they have SMS notifications available (could have missed it)....tried it for several days and decided to subscribe to get enough monthly allowance for my usage. My doors are reinforced so it will take more than a few kicks to get in.....vibration sensor will give a heads up way before a door open sensor would alert me.

I was looking for a way to know how many times my sump pump runs every day. So I thought this might be good ... and it is perfect! I installed it on top of my check valve. So every time the pump runs, it makes the valve vibrating and the device detects it instantly and informs me through the app (or email). Great tools as always for all the YoLink products I bought!
