Data Safe & Secure
Powered by Amazon Web Services, your YoLink system is protected by banking-grade security, encryption, redundancies and back-ups. All YoLink communications are two-way encrypted.
No WiFi Worries
Your YoLink devices do not rely on WiFi, they instead communicate using the LoRa-based (long-range & low-power) wireless network generated by your Hub. Your YoLink devices do not need WiFi, which may have a weak signal or may not be available where it is needed. Typical WiFi-based smart devices can bog down your WiFi, creating traffic jams and poor performance, and each WiFi device is a potential security risk, a potential back door for hackers.
No WiFi, No Internet, No Power - No Problem!
Thanks to our unique Control-D2D device-to-device pairing, you can easily create links between one device and up to 128 other devices. Once a pairing relationship is set, the devices will respond accordingly, even if the WiFi or internet is down and even if the power* is out! This is perfect for critical operations, such as water leak detection and automatic water shut-off.
*Battery-powered devices only or AC-powered devices on UPS or emergency power.

What is the YoLink Hub?
The YoLink Hub is the gateway device that connects all your YoLink devices to the Internet and to the user-friendly YoLink app. The Hub is required for full functionality, including the app (some functionality is available using Control-D2D pairing, but we recommend all YoLink devices have a connection to a YoLink hub at all times, if possible)
YoLink Hub Features/Benefits
The hub has a very easy D.I.Y. plug & play initial set-up – no special network or computer knowledge required. Simply plug the included Ethernet patch cord into an available working network port on your router (suggested) or use a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connection and be up and running in moments
While many smart home devices rely on the home Wi-Fi system and may crowd your network or harm your Wi-Fi performance, the YoLink devices communicate with the Hub via the proprietary YoLink Protocol at the 923.3 MHz frequency (only your Hub connects to the Wi-Fi/network and Internet).
Homes with devices on Wi-Fi, or other protocols, with access to the Internet, are each, individual, potential safety, privacy, and security risks. Acting as the internet gateway the YoLink Hub connects your YoLink devices to the internet via one encrypted connection, providing safety and security for your network and home.
Applications
Use the YoLink Hub to provide an internet connection to your YoLink devices. This can be in your home, business, boat or RV or other location where you use your YoLink devices, with YoLink's LoRa (long-range) technology which offers one of the longest ranges in the smart home industry with 1/4 mile range in open-air.
F.A.Q.
Does a YoLink Hub require a subscription service?
How many devices can the Hub support?
Your Hub can easily support 200 devices. You can always add more Hubs (or SpeakerHubs).
Is the Hub compatible with the SpeakerHub?
Yes, you can mix and match.
What is the best hub for me?
The YoLink Hub works with Ethernet and/or WiFi, while the SpeakerHub is WiFi (2.4 GHz), only. The SpeakerHub can be the internet gateway for YoLink devices (generates the YoLink wireless network), but it's also been equipped with additional speaker and audio features so it may audibly alert and inform you with tones, sounds, and clear text-to-speech-based spoken messages. Click here for a comparison chart.
Does the Hub need batteries?
No, but if battery back-up is desired for operation during power outages, you can put the Hub and your internet/network equipment on a UPS.
Is the Hub compatible with 5 GHz Wifi?
No - like most smart home devices, the Hub uses 2.4 GHz WiFi. Nearly all residential WiFi systems have the 2.4 GHz band. If you have questions about this please email us at service@yosmart.com. It is good to point out, 5 GHz should not be confused with "5G" phones or phone service. 5G refers to the Generation, while 5 GHz refers the the frequency of the WiFi band.
If someone were to cut the internet cable outside of my house and the internet goes down, does the app send an alert that the sensors went offline?
Yes. You need to first configure how you want to be notified (email, text, phone app push notification, critical alert on iOS phones) but you will receive a notification within 30 minutes of your hub going offline.

Works!
So far so good. Bought a few sensors to add.

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!

Works great!
I used this to monitor the temp of my deep freezer where my breastmilk is stored. It gives me peace of mind knowing everything is kept fresh!

Works great, reliable, so helpful!
My wife's chicken raising colleague recommended Yo Link. I am delighted at how easy the setup was, how the sensors just work. The app is easy to use, even better with a recent update. Ha c ING history is helpful to see what went on overnight. I can see when heaters turned on, etc. So glad to have several for our different coops! I highly recommend this approach!

Power Transformer Recommendation
I have purchased two of these units in the past. One went bad after about a year and a half. Called Customer Service, they sent a new one free of charge, and I shipped the old one back. They have held up great overall.
My recommendation is for YoLink to design and create an OUTDOOR POWER TRANSFORMER, that is designed as a box to mount, and to plug devices into. That will ensure proper weather proofing, and maybe also add the ability to install landscape lighting with wire connections. I would really like to see this as an option soon, since I can't really use this outdoor power strip and leave it outside year-round without being protected from mother nature.

Great addition to home security!
Combining the Yolink outdoor motion sensors with the in-wall switches and instant alert through the App has proven to be a very effective way to be notified of any activity around our home and property. The hardware works great and the App is so smart and flexible the ability to customize is unlimited. Thank’s Yolink!

Outdoor Motion Sensor
Nice to not require a neutral wire
The battery requirement terrifies me, but I have over year before I have to worry about that. Sooner or later, they will figure out how to charge a battery or supercap from the load and get rid of a replaceable battery. I have yet to find a use for the two extra buttons, but they don't seem to hurt anything.

Great switch
Works great I like the extra buttons. I would like to see a three way switch model.

Great Addition to My Yolink Hub
I started with Yolink for the leak detection and main water shut off in my house. It was by far the best solution out there. I have since added temperature and humidity sensors to various areas of my house. This was the latest addition, and it works flawlessly, even with the doors closed. Great job Yolink!!

Great sensors
I love these sensors. They are a great way to keep an eye on fridge and freezer temps as well as a few places I’m worried pipes might freeze in the winter. I have temperature threshold alerts setup and one even triggers a YoLink plug that runs a small heater until the temperature is raised enough to be out of freeze danger.

Yolink to the rescue
This Dry contact door opener is a the best. I have used for a trigger to open my gates at my property. Works excellent with Liftmaster 8900 LJ jack shaft door operators. I used the lift masters operators as gate openers. Easy to install and program. Heck it was the "No Brainer” Love the product.
