Only if you care about range, reliability, long life and accuracy!

"Getting reliable and accurate pool water temperature seems easy but most thermometers, especially digital ones are not very accurate or not calibrated properly from factory. In an effort to ensure the most accurate readings I’ve used multiple analog (alcohol and even mercury) thermometers with varying degrees of success. 

Before getting the YoLink LoRa Temperature Sensor YS8014...I had some connectivity issues with the other brands due to the “underground” location, however all the YoLink sensors connected perfectly and quickly, so I narrowed down my options to YoLink. While all YoLink sensors seemed to work very well, I was curious to see how much better the new YS8014 X3 sensor was and how it compared to the others.

While the end results proved that all sensors were very close to each other, I really liked that the new YS8014 X3 allows for more samples more often, as low as 1 minute and as long as 1h. Interestingly 1h is the norm with most such sensors. The YS8014 X3 also has a convenient LCD display that will also automatically turn off at your choice timeout to save batter life.

Just like the other YoLink temperature sensors the YS8014 X3 uses easily replaceable batteries but now there is a 2y and 5y battery option at purchase, so more flexibility and longer battery life overall. It also saves temperature data internally in case the hub us off-line then sends it once it re-connects so no data is lost!

I will end up keeping the YoLink YS8014 X3 sensor in the pool water pit and move the others to my kitchen refrigerator and garage fridge, to keep an eye on them and get alerts should the cooling stop. I lost a full fridge of items a while ago due to a failure of the garage fridge, and at the time I had no sensor to monitor the inside as all I tried could not communicate from inside the fridge, except YoLink!

Anyway, I am very pleased with ALL the YoLInk temperature sensors and would certainly recommend them for almost any need given the flexibility features, great support services and long range LoRa technology."

 Temperature Sensor wireless and ethernet connection.

"We have all metal buildings that are separate. Internet in one building and needed the bathroom temperature to read over internet from the other building. It is very difficult to find something that measures temps that have an ethernet connection. They talk about the range of the base and how well it goes through walls. It is amazing. Cell phones have a hard time just getting out of 1 building with metal and this thing reads out of it and through another closed metal building with no signal loss! It is very nice to set alarms that go to your phone and the set up is way to easy. Download app, scan qr from bottom of base to app, then scan your device you are adding to base with qr and you are done...Would i recommend this.. YES! My HVAC guys cant even believe it."

Exceptional Performance and Reliability!

"The installation was a breeze. The instructions were clear, and within minutes, I had it set up and running. The weatherproof design is a game-changer, allowing me to use it outdoors without worrying about the elements. What truly impresses me is the accuracy of the readings. Whether I'm monitoring the temperature of my outdoor equipment or checking the conditions in my greenhouse, this sensor provides real-time data that I can trust. The extreme high and low-temperature range is perfect for my needs, and the probe is incredibly sensitive, ensuring I get precise measurements every time"
