Question:Is there an audible water leak alarm without using the app? Onboard alarm?
Answer:1. For the waterproof function of the product, we do not have a sound function for YoLink Smart Water Leak Sensor;
2. We will release a YoLink Siren soon which can connect multiple YoLink water leak sensors and other YoLink safety devices, with long distance coverage and alarm even without network connection;
3. Because of the long coverage distance of YoLink products, even if there is sound in the sensors, we still can't hear it, Alerting user's Smart Phone is more important. What's more, our YoLink Siren is even more comprehensive.
4. Reduce its own sound function, which can be waterproof and lower power consumption. The battery life of YoLink Water Leak Sensor can last for more than 5 years. see less
Question:In a rural area I need a door sensor capable to reach 1000'. Is this sensor adequate?
Answer:In the open-air distance without anything block, we tested all our sensors can communicate to the gateway more than 300 meters, it is enough to reach 1000 feet. But if there are walls between the sensors and the gateway, it will affect the RF signal and reduce the distance of the coverage. Inside the building, we tested the door sensors, it can reach more than 300 feet. The good things of the YoLink system is, you can add gateway to increase the coverage area, the sensors don’t need to link to any gateway, there are bound to your account to the cloud through transparent gateways. If you have huge building or area need install a smart building system, you can put a few more gateways and install any number of sensors you want. see less
