YOLINK LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor: Up to 1/4 Mile Open-Air Range, Door Left-Open Reminders, up to 5 Year Battery Life, Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant

So I got into the YoLink LORA to get notifications from a mailbox about 200-250ft from my front door. Its a direct line of sight from there, but I started with putting the hub in the basement at the equipment rack. I figured if it didnt work there I could move it closer to the front of the house. I had no issues with range. The sensor will reliably work through a handful of walls, across the open field, and even from within the all metal mailbox. I have no doubt that without walls and a clear line of sight, 500ft would be simple. I actually think that the 1/4mile (1,320ft) advertised range might not just be marketing fluff. So far Im very pleased with YoLink. The app is easy to use, setup is dead simple, and the range is unparalleled.

Easy to install and its portable. Alexa integration is quick and easy. Fast response time.

Easy to install and reasonably priced.

Im sold on the Yolink product line. This door sensor was a snap to install and set up alerts on my phone. Im getting a couple more of these as well as their other products.

I purchased this device because my husband kept leaving our front door opened. Can you imagine how frustrating that would be? So after looking at many of the available options on Amazon, I decided on this one. Customer service was incredible. They sent me instructions on installation and we’re extremely responsive to my questions. They have a YouTube channel that walks you through installing everything as well. They even walked me through enabling Alexa with my device. This device was very easy to install, but the best part is, it works like magic. Both my husband and I get alerts on our phones when the door opens and closes, and Alexa also chimes in! This was an incredible find, and I am so happy I made this purchase. No more opened door! I highly recommend this product for home security.

The reason I decided to try YoLink and their devices . 1) The price of the hub is very reasonable, unlike other smart hubs I have been looking at. 2) All the different smart devices that Yolink has. 3) Long range. These smart devices can be way away from the hub and still work without any issues. 4) The ease of setup, the hub and devices are extremally easy to setup. Open the app, scan the bar code on the side of the device and it is connect within seconds to the hub. Then a few seconds later I get notification that Alexa has found new smart device, without needing to open the Alexa app and scan for new devices. This is great, so easy and simple to setup. 5) YoLink has many different smart devices that will work with Alexa and my other smart devices. 6) Everywhere I searched, included youtube, YoLink received very high rating. The reason I decided to try (and love) these YoLink door sensors. I wanted some sensor on/in my workshop which is over 150 feet away from my home. I could not find any sensors or smart devices that would work at that distance from my house. The wifi reaches out that far and past, just most smart devices just could not send a signal back that far. I tried adding a wifi repeater. This caused connection issues with wifi enabled smart devices. So I decided to to try Yolinks Door & Window sensors. These Yolink smart devices cover the distance with ease. I have now installed some on my barn, which is even further away from my house. Still no issues. So, Yes, I highly recommend the Yolink Door & Window sensors, hub and their other devices for the reasons stated above.

Long battery life, Ive had it for two months +

Ive asked this question of the manufacturer and on this Amazon page and am awaiting an answer. If this isnt possible I may give it 3 stars. The pros: - Extremely simple to set up (I used wired ethernet connection to my router) - Door sensors can be up to 18mm apart and still be considered closed, so my weird door frames were no issue. - App is simple - Alexa and IFTTT integration available and seamless (though not very good for my purpose) Cons: - Only 1 sensor can trigger one or multiple devices. Multiple sensors cannot trigger the same device with a single command. I want ANY door that opens to trigger the siren device, and I want to be able to enable/disable that with 1 click or 1 Alexa voice command. This is not possible as far as I can tell. I would have to have separate automations for each sensor to trigger the alarm if opened. The only saving grace here is that you can set up specific hours that the automation is active. So Ive created a separate automation for each sensor that is only active at night, since I presumably wouldnt open doors in the middle of the night. If I so happen to open a door during these hours, I have a special command for Alexa to stop the siren. Without Alexa, I would need to find my phone, open the app, navigate to the siren, and press off. - User guide is very limited (19 very short pages) - Siren went off randomly with no record of the event in the first 30 minutes of using it. Not sure if this is going to be an ongoing issue (though this is not a specific problem for the door sensor in particular).

Best contact open/closed sensor on the market. New strong signal to hub, utilizes two alkaline AAA battery batteries, runtime of batteries is 2 years,. I have six in service and have not had a dropped signal from any sensor. Also can utilize multiple programming possibilities and notifications.

I bought he leak sensors and a window/door sensor. The hub and sensors were very easy to install. I plugged the hub into my wifi router and it activated within a minute, I paired the leak sensors and tested them, they alarmed as soon as I put them in water. The door sensor on my garage doors gives me peace of mind when I am not home, it sends an alert to my phone every time the door open and when it closes.
