YoLink LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor 3 Pack: Door Reminder, Open Air Range Up to 1/4 Mile, Up to 5 Years Battery Life, Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant

I've been slowly building out my smart home, and when it came to securing my doors and windows, I wanted something truly reliable. After trying a few other brands, I decided to give the YoLink LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor a try, and I am absolutely blown away by its performance! This sensor has quickly become the cornerstone of my home security and automation. The installation was incredibly simple. It took me less than a minute per sensor to attach them to my doors and windows using the included adhesive. Pairing them with my YoLink Hub was equally effortless, and they were recognized instantly. No complicated wiring, no fussy setup – just quick and easy integration. What truly sets this sensor apart is its use of LoRa (Long Range) technology. This is not just marketing hype; it genuinely makes a massive difference in range and reliability. I have sensors on detached sheds and gates at the very edge of my property, and they connect flawlessly to my hub inside the house, something other smart home devices struggled with. I get instant notifications on my phone every time a door or window is opened or closed, without any dropped signals or false alarms. This consistent, dependable performance provides immense peace of mind. The battery life is also exceptional, thanks to LoRa's low power consumption. I haven't had to think about changing batteries since I installed them, which is a huge convenience compared to other sensors that drain batteries quickly. I've integrated these sensors into various automation routines, from turning on lights when a door opens to triggering security alerts, and they perform flawlessly every single time. The YoLink app is intuitive and provides clear status updates for all my sensors. In summary, if you're looking for a smart door and window sensor that you can truly depend on, with incredible range, rock-solid reliability, and effortless installation, look no further than the YoLink LoRa Smart Door & Window Sensor. It's a premium product that delivers on every promise and is an essential addition to any smart home. Highly, highly recommend!

What a great product. I have the sensors on my refridgerator and freezer doors because the doors don't always close properly. Bought extra sensors to give to my kids so they start having fun and reliability with Yolink products.

Long story short, these two guys came to my house to clean my heating ducts and started to make really weird jokes about how they could rob me of my stuff and then resell it back to me. I didn't like that at all. So I came to Amazon to see what sort of solutions existed in this day and age, before I considered getting a professional home security system that you pay for every month etc. Yes, that option is by far the best if you want 100% peace of mind. That said, I wanted to give this product a try and here's what I have to say about it: PROS = everything is relatively small so it doesn't take up a bunch of space. The piece that connects to your router is the size of a smoke detector and can be set up on a wall, or leave it on the floor like I did, next to the router. I plug it in with the cable rather than WIFI, it's that much more reliable that way. It comes with 4 detectors, which is exactly how many I needed (2 windows and 2 doors). Once you're set up, you have to go into the app and click a few times to get to the alarm scenario you want to activate once you've left your home. Sometimes the app takes a few more seconds to launch and find your scenario. I absolutely love that I can see the situation anywhere I am, you can see in the app the status of each detector. I also love that I was able to get notifications sent to my smart watch (it sends an email if something is going on)! CONS Set up is wonky and rather unintuitive. Others have said so too. I spent more time than I wanted to on the software setup. IMPORTANT: don't do what I did, scan each detector BEFORE you stick it to the spot!! I installed a detector (after having to modify the door frame because it didn't fit naturaly) and then I had to scan it to include it in the software and I couldn't get my damn phone to see the QR code properly - and once you stick it to the door or wall it's over!! Also important: even though it has really good sticking glue some of the detectors eventually fall off. I tried hot glue and what not, nothing seems to work. I resorted to ugly black electric tape and so far this is the only thing keeping the detectors in place, for the ones that come off. It depends on the surface, and you should probably up your chances of success by cleaning the surface before sticking them on, which I did not do. I bought the siren alarm to go with it, the sound is alright but not scary alarming loud. Am I happy so far? YES! I can see what's going on when I'm away, I get prompt warnings if something is happening, and once the set up is figured out you're good to go.

Good range to pair with the hub. Works well.

Been using this for a little while now and I like them. Good peace of mind knowing that you will be notified if the door is opened when you leave. Also good if you have school aged children who now come home after school so you can keep tabs. Initially I thought it was an alarm but these send an alert to your phone through an app and can also send as text. You can alter the noise so that it can make more of a distinct sound. It would be nice if I could preset the sounds to change automatically from the day time to night time so that at night I could get more of a strong alarming sound to wake me, but I haven't found a way to do it. So far they are working very well, and were very easy to set up for me.
