Smart Farm

YoLink's sensors have the best range, savings, and efficiency in the market, ideal for farms for your crops, fields, and livestock.

Smart Farming

Agriculture, animal husbandry, farming, all traditionally rudimentary, close-to-nature, low-tech, trades, can benefit significantly from today's technology. Specifically, smart, IoT, technology. In addition to a comprehensive line-up of economical indoor and outdoor smart devices, YoLink brand products are uniquely-suited to use in farming, whether for commercial applications or for a backyard chicken coop. That is because only YoLink offers economical, do-it-yourself, indoor and outdoor smart products, with extreme long-range wireless (up to 1/4 mile, open-air), with no dependence on WiFi. Separate and remote buildings, and the acreage of typical farms and the lack of internet connectivity are perfect applications for YoLink products!

Why Farms Love YoLink

Our customers are typically pleasantly-surprised by the performance, low initial cost and low cost of ownership of their YoLink products. Some products can quickly pay for themselves by saving on power bills or by preventing loss, including loss of livestock, refrigerated items, and loss due to fire, water leaks/flooding, and theft.

“I use Yolink on the farm for our two electric fence charge controllers, and it saves us so much time. Before we had to physically enter the barn and manually unplug them in the barns before moving livestock or working in the fields. Now it’s a simple digital toggle on/off switch on my phone. We have several other Yolink products around the farm as well, including a remote temp sensor and outlet switch on our chicken coop brooder. The affordability and 1/4 mile range have been a good fit for us here on our farm. I’d recommend Yolink to anyone farming, as the remote capabilities of turning on/off outlets from a cell phone are endless.”

"I use a YoLink vibration sensor to let me know when my generator is running and a YoLink outdoor temp sensor to let me know the hotstart for it is working. This gives me piece of mind. This generator is critical as 80,000 chickens lives depend on it. I also use YoLink Contact Sensors in combination with current sensing switches to monitor the feed usage in my chicken houses. It is critical their feed augers run regularly not only so they put on more weight but also for their health. If they run out of feed they become stressed which leads to disease."

“I have a farm that spans an area far too large for Wi-Fi or Z-wave sensors to be useful. I use YoLink products so I never have to worry about the signal reaching to the coop, the field, the mailbox or anywhere on my property. And, the integration with Home Assistant gives me the flexibility to control things however I want. I would recommend YoLink to anyone who wants a solution that will just work, right out of the box, whether in a house or on an acreage”

“The selection and versatility of Yolink products makes their use on our farm indispensable. We use the Relay to automate our chicken coop doors. The Weatherproof Temperature Sensors are used to monitor temperatures inside our bee hives. We use the vibration sensor to monitor our well pump for continuous running. Farm life is much easier with Yolink products!”

“At Thankful Farms we raise Dexter cattle, Berkshire hogs as well as a U-Pick operation for blueberries and Muscadine grapes. We have YoLink Weatherproof Temperature and Humidity sensors installed in all of our freezers where we store retail cuts of beef and pork prior to resale as well as grapes and blueberries. The sensors have no trouble connecting to the hub through the freezer walls and are configured to send notifications to the YoLink app on my phone as well as SMS alerts whenever the temperature rises above -2 degrees F. Prior to installation of these sensors we had a freezer fail that led to a significant loss of beef. We are also using a Smart Outdoor Plug on the power for the electric fence surrounding our primary pasture. This makes it much easier to troubleshoot any problems with the fence since we can turn it off and on from anywhere in the pasture. We also monitor and control these devices through Home Assistant. We are very pleased with the quality of the YoLink products as well as the excellent support provided by the YoLink staff.”

Power Fail Alarm

With the Power Fail Alarm you can monitor power at critical equipment and be notified if power is disconnected. Be notified via push notification, email, SMS, and/or device action such as turning on remote sirens, lights, etc.

USB-powered device, so it can monitor any power source that can power a USB adapter. If you need to monitor 220VAC, you need a USB power adapter that can be plugged into or connected to 220VAC
Has an internal siren that can activate when power is lost. This siren can be muted in the app
Can trigger sirens, relays, plugs or other devices upon the loss of power
Reports loss of power through the connection to the hub. If the hub loses the internet connection due to the power loss/outage, you will be notified within 30 minutes (per settings in your app)

Vibration Sensors

With the vibration sensor, you can secure buildings and items by detecting the breaking of glass, objects been hit, disturbed, shaken, damaged or tampered with. You can also detect when an object has been moved, lifted or dropped, and detect and monitor equipment running, such as pumps and generators

Popular Vibration Sensor Applications

Place on a window and detect when the window is disturbed or broken
Detect break-ins at doors before they are opened
Detect generator running
Detect sump pump running
Attach to animal traps and detect trap activation
Attach to porch pick-up and delivery boxes to detect activity
Attach to dog/pet doors to detect activity
Place inside vehicles to detect catalytic converter theft, vehicle theft, tampering

The Vibration Sensor is intended for indoor use, or for use outdoors only when the environmental range of -4°F – 122°F (-20°C - 50°C) and less than 90% humidity - the sensor must not get wet - is maintained.

Popular applications:

Provide security for property and assets; protect against break-ins, theft, property damage
A door or object opening can trigger a security response, including activating sirens and strobes at the location, and sending notifications to your phone, broadcasting alarms and spoken message at SpeakerHubs, etc.

The Contact Sensor, along with the Door Sensor, Vibration and Motion Sensors, has been used to create a mail box alert (mail delivered/picked-up)
The Contact Sensor, along with the Vibration Sensor, has been used to create a trash can alert (trash picked-up)

With Motion Sensors you can:

secure buildings, equipment and property by detecting motion
use the motion sensor as an occupancy sensor; use motion detected, or lack of motion detected, to automate lighting, fans, air conditioning, etc.
use the motion sensor as a driveway alert
use the motion sensor to detect vehicles, livestock, etc. at gates

Our motion sensors are intended to detect human-sized objects, but they can be used to detect animals, and when installed appropriately can be used to detect smaller animals, such as foxes and racoons, and chickens and rabbits. For this application, the Outdoor Motion Sensor must be mounted low to the ground, and be positioned where animals will cross the coverage area, ideally (not come towards the sensor; the sensor reacts faster to movement across the coverage area - e.g. from left to right side of the sensor's field of view). The Outdoor Motion Sensor has a nominal range of around 20 feet (6 meters). The range of motion detection should not be confused with the wireless range of the device. The wireless range of the sensor back to the nearest hub has a nominal range of 1000 feet (300 meters) open-air and line-of-sight.

Motion sensors are typically installed on a fixed surface such as a wall or pole, but they can be used in or on mobile equipment, such as combines, RVs, boats, etcetera, protecting them will parked, stationary or in storage.

Popular applications:

Intrusion detection
Occupancy sensor; automate lighting
Presence detection: detect a moving object or person, automate a device action or notification (non security application)
