I have used various smart plugs and these are by far the easiest to set up and get working. I also love that there are other products available that allow you to monitor / control them all from one app. These are great. May order more for vacation home.

The Yolink is based on LoRa connectivity and i have found this to be way more reliable than any of my WiFi connected devices. The switch interfaces nicely with Alexia and has been super reliable.

The WiFi setup is probably the most challenging step in setting this up, but once you’ve determined your modem settings for compatibility, the installation process is quite simple. The app is also very versatile and you can use it to set a timer for the device you’ve plugged on. A nice feature on the app is power consumption for your device, I’ve attached a snapshot for your reference.

Great to link with the temp sensors for easy automation of heaters. Nice 12.5 amp upgrade, older model was only 10 amps. Get it! Its the best.

I have been holding off on a home automation solution because I couldnt find a brand that had all the functionality I was looking for along with ease of setup and affordability. I stumbled across yolink and cautiously gave them a chance since I never heard of them before. Im glad I did and have since recommended them to a number of my friends. Everything works as should and I love the smart IFTTT integrations. The possibilitys are endless. Ive since setup water detectors, motion detectors (Mailbox w/alexa integration), garage doors controllers and 12 wifi light switches so I can easily control all of my outdoor lights. All works great. The wireless range on these devices is amazing too. I was hesitant because I didnt want to add a hub but after learning more about LoRa and the range it broadcasts Im glad I did.

Shaft driven septic agitator. Agitators burn out in 4 or 5 yrs and new ones cost $500. If they get out of balance or tied up with hair, etc, they burn out sooner. Connected hub with ethranet cable. Main problem was QR code but soon figured out to just point my smartphone camera at the QR thingie, and the Yolink app did the rest. Have to do this for the hub AND for the smart plug. I plan to check this weekly and pull the agitator out to rebalance/clean if amps spike up sharply from the current 2.5 amps. Divide the watt reading by 115 volts to get the amps.

Used it to turn on/off a intex 14 Sand pool pump. Works with alexa, you can also monitor your power history... kinda nice. Contol this device with the YoLink app or your Alexa. Called support to ensure product will work with what I was trying to do. Very knowledgeable and kind. Solid unit.
