Happy with YoLink
I bought the valve, controller and several sensors for a water link detection system from YoLink. I had an issue with the controller, and YoLink quickly sent me another which solved the problem and now the system works very well. Contact with their tech support was quick and easy both online and by phone, which earns huge points in my book. No long wait times, they were very quick to answer my call and very quick to respond to emails, and they solved my problems and answered my questions very well. Good customer service – 5 stars. I wish all companies had this kind of service. I later bought the hub and another sensor and added them to the system. The installation was a breeze. Couldn’t have been easier. The products were well made and well packaged and easily connected to the hub and the app. A hint that I would pass on if you are pairing sensors to the controller without the hub and app: Close the valve first, then pair the sensor to the controller, then open the valve and then test with water on the sensor contacts. Repeat for other sensors to install. Don’t try to pair with the valve open is the key – be sure it’s closed. Thanks YoLink for a good product that does exactly what it’s supposed to do and at what I believe is a very fair price.

Reasonably priced quality products with simple setup
Excellent build quality at a reasonable price and very easy to set up. The only criticism I have is about the mounting tape. It works too well as I found out when I removed the finger to slightly adjust its’ position and it took the paint off right along with it. Not to worry though. It was on a garage wall. I did however use a double sided clear tape that can be removed easily to mount the other devices. A warning about the extreme grip of the included tape might be in order.All the devices I have purchased have performed flawlessly.YoLink first came to my attention when I watched Brian Read of Automate Your Life review YoLink products, I had been struggling with Smartthings and YoLink is the perfect replacement for my uses. The ease of use and setup allows people with marginal technical skills to begin automating their homes. Home automation will only take off when it becomes as easy as plugging in a new TV set. YoLink has taken a giant stride in that direction. I have contact sensors on outside doors, on a freezer door, motion sensor controlled lights in one room so far and a temperature and humidity monitor mounted in a protected spot on a covered patio. I also use a YoLink Finger to control my garage door. Changes in the state of these devices are announced on an Echo Show 8. I’m sure there will be many more YoLink products added soon.Another small mention. I noticed in several reviews on Amazon that people reported trouble scanning the QR codes. I had the same problem but discovered that the problem was that the place I was trying to do the scan, directly under a smart bulb set at 80% brightness, was too brightly lit. The problem was likely not the QR code but the camera on my cell phone. Moving to a room with only daylight filtered through a curtain cured the problem. The scan was instantaneous under those lighting conditions.

Amazing automation
We have a 4000 sq ft home with 4BR and 4 baths. Our well system was not able to deliver enough GPM for both the home and irrigation system. So we installed a 2500 gallon fresh water tank along with all the other needed check valves, float switches and 3HP 3 phase pump with VFD control. We purchased three Yolink powered valves to control water flow along with their pressure depth sensor and hub. It’s easy to see the hard work that went into creating these products. Install was super simple and worked the first time. In the future we may add water sensors to the home. But for now just enjoying the automation at our well pumps.

I’m impressed with the hardware but not impressed with their documentation.
This is the main piece for the Yolink automation and monitoring systems. It’s easy to set up as I have installed it in my equipment closet under the stairs to my attic right in the middle of my home. It gives plenty of range for all the devices and their interaction seems to be solid. My only concern as a former programmer is that they don’t provide adequate written documentation. Right now they depend on YouTube videos. I am, though, very satisfied with the hardware itself and plan to use it. And the manufacturer has assured me that they will work with me to figure out the programming.

Excellent device
Having used a lot of home automation devices over the years (including X-10 and Z-Wave), this one is superior. Their installation process is quick and simple. They supply QR codes to get you started. The smart phone app is easy to use and intuitive. Another good thing is there are no fees to operate it unless you have a lot of sensor activity (high SMS traffic), but the fees are modest. I have heard that integrating to Alexa might be a problem but since I don’t use that, I don’t care.Having just installed it, only time will tell if it is truly a winner. However, since the hubs are inexpensive, I plan on getting a spare. I believe that installing a new or multiple hubs is pretty easy also.After using this for 6 weeks, I still find it to work very well. The only issue I have encountered is the area I am in has sporadic but brief power outages which can disrupt the operation of the dimmers and switches.

Hook this up last like and just had to plug in the power and network cable and ouch the button on the temp sending unit and all online. Very easy and works well.
Needed this to act as a hub for a smart thermometer which I had bought for monitoring freezer temperature. Installation was very simple using the free app. Range is great so there was no problem finding somewhere to have it sit out of the way. It supports multiple devices so can be used for other smart devices.

Not much a user needs to do. The unit is easy to set up and works great. It requires a Hub, which is a great add-on as the application supports multiple devices. The iPhone app is straightforward to understand and use. The unit can be installed in various rooms. I am using it for a business computer room. I have tested a power failure and the alarm as the messaging system works well. I am pleased with this purchase.

La configuración no batallé con el cable ethernet, batallé un poco con el WiFi pero finalmente quedó configurado. Le conecté dos sensores de energÃa y lo reconoció de inmediato.La aplicación está muy intuitiva. Y buena calidad de los productos, el HUB, el cable de alimentación y el eliminador de corriente. Todo de excelente calidad. El Hub y 1 sensor los puse en la Oficina y el otro sensor de energÃa en la farmacia que queda a 1 cuadra de la oficina. Gran alcance.
