3 Position Light Switch and Auto Exhaust Fan with Yolink

Over the past few months of learning a lot about Yolink products, I ordered several wall switches and installed one in the bathroom and two in the garage. They work perfectly! Removed my existing switch in the garage and installed Yolink. I was able to set the switch to automatically turn off 5 hours after turning it on (considering I very rarely stay in the garage for more than one setting and at least if the light is left on over the weekend it turns on automatically a). I then installed a second Yolink on a different garage door. The second switch is just powering the Yolink switch, only it doesn't control any device. I then paired the Direct 2 devices of both switches. I had to do it three times. A pairing in one direction and then pairing switch in the opposite direction. This keeps both switches in sync. So when I turn on one, the other turns on too. And the same in reverse order, when one goes out, the other goes out. All of this was done without the need for the internet or even a Yolink hub. Now I also have a garage door sensor for both of my garage doors. I then set up some automations and settings to track the garage door opening. If a door is opened, the light switches on automatically. And when both doors are closed (and both should be closed, not just one) then the light goes out! I then installed another switch in the bathroom to replace the exhaust fan switch. I also place a Yolink temperature/humidity sensor in the bathroom. Now, when someone takes a shower and the humidity reaches, for example, 90, the fan will turn on automatically! And turns off when it falls down again. It is magic! But if someone just needs to go to the bathroom and turn on the fan, they can turn it on and off manually as usual.

Pros
  • Tools and Housewares
Cons
