YoLink Smart Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor, Wide Temp Range (-22 to 158 Degree) for Freezer, Fridge, Green House, Pet Cage, Smartphone Alerts - Hub Required

Used for bearded dragon tank

I have lots of yolink devices these are great but I have a cheap phone so had to copy and make code darker and bigger. Then scans fine. Work great with their hub. Fairly cheap. And the product support from the company is one of the best. Plus I like that they are local in Irvine CA.

I bought this to place in the storage compartment of my trailer which I live in during the freeze in Texas (Dec 2022) so I would know I needed to turn on the heater to prevent my pipes from freezing. Worked perfectly. I would recommend this to everyone who needs to monitor any temperature. Easy to set up and easy to use. Yo link has the sensors needed for various items as well all controlled in one app.

works great amazing range

It was easy to setup and work really well, even from outside the house. The app is simple and straightforward. I was using it to monitor the inside of an egg incubator and it even kept working after the cat knocked the incubator over and it got covered in egg yolks. I am pretty upset but definitely impressed by this for the money. Hoping I can get the yolk out.

Temperature device works great. However, I have my existing THERMOSTAT set to reduce the temperature to 71 degrees Fahrenheit ONLY during sleeping time at night. So I would need to have EITHER 2 different TIMES OF THE DAY and TWO different Temperature settings; One for the day time when I dont need that room at 71 degrees Fahrenheit and one for sleeping time at night when I DO keep the bedroom at 71 deg.fah. Currently I have the Alarm setting giving me a warning every hour of the day...annoying unless I manually turn the Alarm OFF during the day an back on again during the night. But that kind of defeats the purpose of automation.

Easily monitor temperature when not home, alert if it exceeds limits. Very easy to set up with the app.

Pros: Easy to install, communicates with rest of Yolink integrated system, can provide voice warnings when used with a speaker hub. I purchased two thermometers that I wanted to integrate with the rest of my Yolink water leak detection and shutoff system along with my speaker hub. Installation was a breeze, scan the qr code, push the set button, and you are in. Because I have a Yolink speaker hub I was able to program the thermometers to issue a voice warning when the refrigerator temperature went above 42 deg. F (the high and low temperature limits are programmable). Programming is very easy and intuitive. Without a speaker hub, users will receive an email and notification and, optionally, a text message. Customer service is excellent. Batteries are supposed to last two years or more and the Yolink app shows the battery status of all components. When compared to a calibrated digital thermometer, the Yolink thermometers were well within one degree of accuracy. As a bonus, the thermometer keep a history of temperature and humidity. These thermometers are designed for indoor use. Very pleased with this product.

I had a plug in a remote corner of my home that had a competators WiFi controlled plug. I would lose connectivity. I cant blame the wifi plug, but had very little options to improve the sub-prime location of my wireless router other than costly investment in MESH or other solutions. So, I repurposed that plug to another location and used this product from YoLink. Once I set up the LoRa hub (REQUIRED!) and the plug, it works wonderfully. It was easy and quick to set up and when I went to Alexa I was smiling what I found that the YoLink SKILL actually had a positive rating unlike many others. After this great experience, Ive added 4 of their water sensors, an indoor and outdoor thermometer, and got 2 of the FlexFobs. All accessories were similarly easy to set up to connect to the same HUB and very quick to set up and get into my Alexa routines. Literally 20 seconds to set up using the scan QR code in the App. It took longer to open the boxes! What I have set up (so far) • YoLink Hub • 4x Water Leak Detector • 2x Flex Fob (one wall mounted, one to carry) • Indoor Thermometer/Humidity • Outdoor Thermometer/Humidity Pros: • Easy to set up • Good range (at least better than WiFi) • Integration with Alexa • Extra credit for making use of minimal packaging. • The FlexFob can be used in any Alexa routine not just other YoLink devices (under Smart Home each of the 4 buttons is treated like a motion detector) • The FlexFob even included a wall mounting bracket, which was a pleasant surprise for me! Cons: • Basically none. • If I had to complain about something, I guess the mobile app could use some refinement (You need a few clicks to go into settings to change something as a favorite, etc. which maybe could have alternate way, such as a click and hold)

I got 2 of these and 1, as you can see, has a bad display. Its not worth the effort to send it back so I hope they improve their quality control/packaging. Not the only yolink issue Ive had either. UPDATE: I made contact with YoLink and they made it right. They sent me a replacement, at no cost, without having to return the bad one. While they may be experiencing some growing pains they do stand behind their products which I appreciate. I do wish the history could be deleted and that reporting times could be adjusted but overall its a good sensor and company.
