Early-Warning Notifications - Receive real-time early-warning notifications in the form of smartphone banner alerts, limited SMS/text messages, and emails, each optional and configured per your needs; Please note: YoLink Motion Sensor does not alarm or chime, it only sends notifications; For an audible alarm, consider our Siren Alarm. Low-Power Means Longer Battery Life: Because of the low power consumption, device batteries may last 2 years or more (depending on application and device usage/activity), on standard AAA Alkaline batteries (lithium batteries not required)!. From Simple to Super-Smart: After setting up your notification preferences, keep it simple and let the YoLink system do the rest and monitor your home and property for you.

Your Hub is the only device that connects to the Internet, and a wired or WiFi connection is required (wired required for easy & fast Plug, Plug & Play, and most reliable and secure connection).

Perfect and Affordable

Exactly what I was looking for and a lot smaller than I thought it would be. Setup took less than 10 minutes: download the app, connect the hub to power and Ethernet, press a button on the sensor, and you're done. Installation was just as easy, pick a good spot, test it as best you can before making it permanent, then just peel off and insert the magnetic plate to make it stick. Integrates directly into Alexa routines or ifttt via skills and the app has its own setup for scene creation and…

  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Quick Guide

It's gotten better with the latest updates!

Neat product. Devices connect very quickly! I also bought a temp/humidity sensor and it is fairly accurate compared to my other sensors. Motion sensors work well, but with one major drawback: they don't tell you when motion is no longer detected. This can be a problem when used in a routine. No problems with Alexa, find devices after turning on the skill. The app requires a little work and is very simple. two. Range has not been extensively tested, but line of sight is required for longer…

  • Absolutely amazing!

Premium mailbox and front door alarm

Bought this to keep an eye on my mailbox. I wanted to know when my mail would be delivered so I didn't have to go out and see if the postman was there. A motion detector is perfect for this. I used the included magnetic mount to place it face first in my lockable box. Now when the mail is delivered I get a notification on my phone almost immediately. For a second or so. We've also had a number of mailbox break-ins and mail thefts in our area, so hopefully this device will let me know if someone

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Very expensive

Impromptu Voicemail Alert

I have had several voicemail alerts over the years. They worked for a while and then stopped. Most of them were dodgy in the postman's ad. Searching for Revain I found a Yolink system with a 1/4 mile range. Intrigued, I bought a base unit and 2 motion sensors. Installing the yoLink base station software was a little tricky, but I ended up installing it. As you can see from the round white sensor on the back of the mailbox it was pretty easy to place (magnet and sticker). He hasn't fallen off…

These sensors work great!

I have a hotel that has been closed for almost a year due to Covid. Trying to keep unauthorized people off the hotel premises was a difficult task. The YoLink line of products has been a great tool for my staff to notice when someone enters the premises. I have many motion sensors throughout the house, as well as a few sirens. When the sensor is triggered I look at the notification in the app and then at the camera where the activation happened to see if I have a security issue. Now staff don't

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, everything is fine

Brilliant! The perfect product.

I got this because our mailbox was hacked. I have a resealable large packaging box so I was excited when I saw these sensors. My mailbox is across the street from my house so I was REALLY happy to see I could use them within a reasonable distance from home. My mailbox is a good 30 meters from the front door. I mounted the sensor on the inside right at the back of the mailbox, facing the deposit slots. It's magnetic and stays strong! Installation is so easy that a child can handle it. Basically…

Pros
  • speakerphone
Cons
  • weak

This is a breakthrough in home automation!

I have been installing home automation products for over 5 years. I just finished installing a YoLink smart light switch, two motion sensors, two garage door sensors and a garage door controller. Also set up direct automation. It's way FASTER and MORE RELIABLE than IFTTT! I've read many reviews about how easy YoLink products are to install, and it's true. But I wonder how many people really understand how much easier it is. The YoLink Hub acts like a router in many ways (quickly scans all…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some errors

Help me catch the criminal!

On August 11th, someone broke into the building behind my house and stole thousands of dollars worth of items from my tenant. Unable to get through a specific window, the thief instead smashed the bathroom window and stepped through. The tenant moved out after just a few days so I researched this product for peace of mind. The backyard cam showed the bastard running behind my property again on the 19th! I noticed it on the camera I had and called someone from my house to go out in the back yard

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

Pretty easy to set up.

I'm a bit of a security freak. I have a full house alarm but I don't turn it on at night because I always turn it on when I'm home. When I leave the house, it adapts. I have a second system which are ground floor motion detectors that I install at night. All bedrooms are on the second floor and if someone manages to bypass my security cameras and alerts I want the motion sensors to let me know. I had a previous motion sensor system for years and it was starting to go haywire. The sensor near…

  • Pleasant
