Firstly, have you pushed the activate button to activate the detector? If so, try re-connecting the detector and the base, making sure that the metal circle and three probes are properly connected. Then, long-press the test button to perform a self-test. If the detector makes a sound and the notification is sent from the app, it means that the devices are working normally.

However, if the issue still persists, it is possible that the metal circle or the probes may be damaged or malfunctioning. In this case, please contact YoLink Customer Support with your purchase invoice (showing that it was sold by YoSmart) and shipping address to arrange for a replacement unit.

The installation process for the YoLink smoke detector is easy and fast. Simply mount the base to the ceiling or wall surface, then twist in the detector head. More detailed instructions are available in the Quick Start Guide.

Unfortunately, the YoSmart CO detector does not support real-time concentration display. The Semtech CPU in the YoLink Communication base does not calculate CO concentrations either. The YoLink Smart Smoke & CO Detector comprises the ANKA Non-Smart Smoke CO Sensor and the YoLink Communication Base. The sensor from ANKA only sends notifications to the YoLink app, email, and SMS via the YoLink Communication Base.

While it is true that there is no direct trigger or device to make your existing smoke alarm system smart, some customers have used YoLink products to achieve this. One option to consider is the YS7707-UC contact sensor, which can be connected to your smoke detector. Please refer to the manual's "Contact Closure Device/Equipment Installation" section for instructions on how to install the contact sensor. This may allow you to receive alerts on your phone when the smoke alarm is triggered, without having to replace the entire system.

The YoLink smoke detector uses one CR123A lithium battery (3V DC) for the smoke/CO sensor head, and two AA batteries (3V DC) for the base.

No it cannot; the smoke produced by smoking does not reach a high enough concentration to activate the smoke detection mechanism.

The YoLink smart communication base for these smoke detectors needs 2 AA batteries, while the smoke detectors themselves come with a permanent 10-year battery.
