Additional FlexFob Features

Control D2D (device-to-device pairing enabled)

The FlexFob is compatible with YoLink Control-D2D device-to-device pairing; can directly control compatible YoLink devices, like a Relay or Smart Plug. This makes it ideal for "offline" or "standalone" applications, where there's no internet connection and/or no Hub (to provide an internet connection for your YoLink devices), as well as for applications where an app is not required or desired, such as for simple applications like the control of a relay or gate operator.

Please note: the FlexFob can operate without an internet connection and without a YoLink hub, making it ideal for standalone applications. But, in these cases the app will not function, no low battery level notifications will be sent, and firmware updates (product enhancements, etc.) can not be performed without a connection to YoLink hub and YoLink app account.

Regarding the Alexa integration, each button has the following capabilities:
- Activate one Alexa routine (one per button X four buttons = 4 Alexa routines)

- The FlexFob buttons are displayed in Alexa as motion sensors

IFTTT Integration

Regarding the IFTTT integration, each button has the following capabilities:

- Activate one IFTTT applet per each button short-press or long-press (two per button X four buttons = 8 IFTTT applets)

Please note:

- The IFTTT app is required, and the YoLink skill must be installed (learn more at ifttt.com)

FAQ

What is the wireless range of the FlexFob?

Do I need a hub if I am using the Alexa integration?

Are the batteries replaceable?

Yes, the fob uses two standard alkaline AAA batteries. The battery cover is accessible from the back of the fob.

good item

This is a good item but it would be nice if they made one just like it without the dimmer function that would be good for 15 amps

Smart Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer, Wide Temp Range for Freezer, Fridge, Green House, Pet Cage, App Alerts, Emails, Text/SMS alerts- Hub Required

Great for Landscape Lighting

Finally a more modern approach for turning on and off landscape lighting. My preference for my lights is to turn them on at dusk, run them to about 11:30 pm at night and then turn them on again in the morning at 4:30 am and keep them lighted until sunrise occurs. Previously, my landscape lighting did this with a mechanical timer and a photo sensor. Worked, but subject to periodic repair as these components would fail. With the Smart Outdoor plug I use the Automations feature in the app and precisely control the lights for both sunset and sunrise. As a bonus, I can see engergy use throughout the year.

Smart Outdoor Energy Plug - IP65 Waterproof High-Capacity 1800W, 15A Smart Plug with Real-Time Energy Monitoring, Automatic Safety Shutoff, Alexa & Google Assistant Compatible, Requires YoLink Hub

Very useful

I have a printer that I don't use very often. It is located in a different part of the house. I use my plug to turn the printer on or off remotely. I used to forget to turn the printer off and would find it day or weeks later still on. This plug makes it easy not to forget.

Plug Mini Smart Plug, YoLink Hub Required

These sensors work great I have them under my dishwasher, my refrigerators, my ice-maker, my sinks, toilets, etc. The latest sensors go under my ice-maker and sinks. I’ve been saved by these sensors detecting leaks, from my dishwasher, my clothes washer, and my kitchen fridge. Everyone should have these.

SpeakerHub & Two Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensors Starter Kit

Excellent new addition to our home security

Very easy to set up and works excellently. Doesn't seem prone to spurious triggering from the wind or wind-blown debris. We have it triggering a speaker hub, which isn't an obnoxious alarm. We can be traveling and be made aware of anyone driving it walking up our driveway through the app No more surprises! Can't wait for cameras!
