Review on 🏠 Streamline Your Smart Home Control with Skylink ML-100 AAA+ Wall Mountable Home Smart Center by Crystal Collins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Disappointed: household batteries

If you're tech-savvy, it takes a day to install. Note the following: 1) The supplied door/window sensors are junk. They drop out randomly every 2 weeks. Skyline support is useless. They attributed the problem to interaction with the metal in the doors. My doors are vinyl. Sensors continue to fail after being fully isolated on (ugly) wooden poles as recommended by Skyline customer service. 2) Motion sensors work well. I suggest buying several 3) Remember you are limited to only 10 sensors 4) The base unit had to be in the middle of my house (1st floor, 2400 sq ft) for reliable communication with the sensors. 5) The included remote control is really handy. This has become the primary method of arming and disarming the system. If your expectations are low, you will be satisfied and you will save a lot of money compared to a professional system. --- Annual Update --- After a year we have realized the importance of using very fresh, high quality brand name batteries in motion detectors. However, ALL batteries should be replaced every 4 months. Old or empty batteries lead to system errors and false alarms. The system works well if you remember to clean the door sensors regularly and change the batteries in the motion sensors.

Pros
  • One-year trial
Cons
