The YoLink garage door sensor is designed to monitor the position of your garage door, detecting whether it is opened or closed. It can send alerts and trigger automations based on the door's opening, closing, or being left open for an extended period. It is compatible with Google Assistant, Alexa, and IFTTT. Additionally, the sensor is equipped with an LED light for easy visual status indication.

Yes, the Garage Door Sensor is designed to work exclusively as a controller in YoLink Control, allowing it to manage other YoLink devices in your smart home setup.

Yes, you can check the status of your garage door with Google Assistant by saying "Hey Google, is the garage door open?" or "Hey Google, is the garage door closed?".

You may say "Echo, is the garage door opened?"

Yes, you can create an Alexa routine for your garage door sensor when the garage door is opened. This allows you to receive notifications or trigger other smart devices in response to the garage door opening event.

Yes, you can use the Garage Door Sensor as a trigger service in IFTTT by setting it up as an "IF" condition in your applet.

While the YoLink Garage Door Sensor itself does not have an audio alarm, you can consider YoLink SpeakerHub or Siren Alarm or Alexa routines, all of which may audibly alert you.

Please follow these troubleshooting steps:

1. Verify that the garage door sensor is installed correctly. What is the device's condition when the garage door is closed?

2. Press the SET button on the garage door sensor to check if the LED indicator lights up.

3. Check the YoLink App to ensure the device is online.

4. Assess the communication environment between the door sensor and the YoLink Hub. What is the distance between the garage door sensor and the Hub? Are there any obstacles between the garage door sensor and the Hub? Avoid placing the garage door sensor in semi-enclosed or restricted areas, such as underground wells or pits. The signal strength depends on the placement position.

If the issue persists after following these steps, please contact YoLink customer support for further assistance.

The YoLink Garage Door Sensor is designed to work within an industrial-grade temperature range. The specified operating temperature range of 32°F to 104°F is primarily due to the use of standard alkaline batteries in these devices. To ensure a 5-year battery life for the Garage Door Sensor, it is recommended that they operate within this temperature range. Battery life may be significantly reduced when temperatures drop below 32°F, although the devices themselves should still function properly. Using wide-temperature-range lithium batteries could extend their performance in colder conditions, but this would increase costs and potentially limit air shipping availability for these products in some areas.

Yes, you can add a continuous alert feature to your garage door sensor. First, update your YoLink app and the firmware of your garage door sensor. Next, unpair the garage door controller from the sensor. Finally, navigate to the sensor device details screen in the app and set up the continuous alert feature.

 To resolve this issue, please contact YoLink customer support. They will assist you in updating the firmware of your garage door sensor. After the update, the problem should be fixed.

Yes, please remove the batteries from the YoLink Garage Door Sensor, press the set button several times, and then reinstall the batteries. Test this solution multiple times. If the issue persists, please contact YoLink customer support for further assistance.

If the sensor is not connected to the cloud, press the SET button on the sensor once.

If the Hub is offline, reconnect the Hub to the internet and press the SET button on the sensor once.

If the Hub is not powered on, turn it on again and press the SET button on the sensor once.

If the sensor is out of range from the Hub, you may need to relocate the sensor or Hub for better connectivity.

If you receive low-battery indicators or alerts, or if you suspect the batteries may be the issue, replace them with 2 premium "AAA" alkaline batteries.

If none of these solutions resolve the issue, please contact YoLink customer service for further assistance.
