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

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 already had a Yolink hub, and I added a couple of these to my system to monitor the temperature of my two freezers in the garage. I was skeptical about the signal getting out of a metal box, but it worked fine. In addition to preventing spoilage in the event of a power failure--I had a multi-tap power strip fail not long ago and almost lost a freezer full of food--the temperature monitors revealed that one of my freezers cycles between -2 deg. and -14 deg. I should probably replace that freezer soon since that wide a temperature swing suggests that the thermostat is not working well. I recommend this monitor. I have had good luck with all the Yolink products I have purchased.

Although YoLink does not support the major home automation protocols like Z-Wave, Zigbee, Matter or Thread, these devices have a major plus, they work, they work the first time and very easy to set up which cannot be said for the above protocols. Adjustment provided if you need to make an adjustment to temperature readings, mine were close enough that I did not bother. History display is excellent and alarms seem to work as intended. Note that it requires its own hub but the hub is inexpensive and only one is needed. I have not tried to get system to work with Google so can not speak to that. Excellent for use in freezers, work well through the steel box.

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.

Transmits from my shop building about 120 ft away from house and alerts me if temperature is getting close to freezing.

Perfect so far. Already has save a freezer with 1/2 a side of beef. Door was left slightly open. Alerts on my phone went off late in the night. Saved!

I have been using home automation products for several years but I never found a good solution to monitor fridge and freezer temps. We have 4 freezers and I have purchased one of the smart wireless temperature sensors for each. I have found these to be reliable and its great that you can set up alerts in the YoLink app to send a message to your mobile device as well as sound an alert on the hub when it goes out of range. It doesnt update continuously more like every couple minutes or degrees of change so it gives you time to put away groceries without driving you crazy but if you accidentally leave a door slightly open it notifies you quick enough that you cant drive too far away when leaving the house before you are notified.

I have purchased around 15 of these now to monitor various temperatures and I love them. Very accurate, easy to use, and connect with no issue. Yolink has many great products and is a great way to give you piece of mind with home monitoring.

YoLink Smart Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor is really easy to setup. All I have to do is to launch the up, press on set, and scan the QR code.

Very happy with this Yolink hub and freezer monitor. Easy to setup.
