Please note: the FlexFob can operate without an internet connection and without a YoLink hub, making it ideal for standalone applications. But, in these cases the app will not function, no low battery level notifications will be sent, and firmware updates (product enhancements, etc.) can not be performed without a connection to YoLink hub and YoLink app account.

- Activate one Alexa routine (one per button X four buttons = 4 Alexa routines)

Great solution

It may not be the nicest looking outlet, but it works great - used in an outdoor control scenario and it works great when correctly enclosed - does not take extra space vs add on controllers)

X3 Commercial Grade Smart Outdoor Alarm Controller & Siren Kit (YoLink Hub REQUIRED) (110 Decibel)

So far so good

Our house was built in the 60s and the water intake line is buried in a wall. I bought this valve because it required the least amount of space for covering the wall back up, somewhat simplifying the process. It has a manual shut off in case there is zero power. It takes a lot of turning of a small knob, but at least it's a back up. We kept the original valve on the house in addition. There is AC power AND battery backup, which is ideal for us. The app seems to work well, and I could operate the valve with it. I haven't tried it from outside the house, but hopefully I will never need to use it.

The plumber had no issues installing it. He had to cut out a space about 16 inches long to install the valve. Since the unit has a battery pack, if an outlet is not nearby, it can be installed later and operate with just the batteries.

The components seem well built. The mailperson dropped the package from a few feet onto our wood floor from our front door, which is a dutch door, but nothing was broken.

The app is simple, but I had difficulty finding where to add more sensors after adding one. The app could use some interface improvements. But most importantly is having the whole house shutoff valve installed in order for the property to be covered by insurance in California.

YoLink Hub

It's a great product

Functions well, I use it in my restaurant for equipment that might be older than I am. I can monitor everything from my cell phone while I'm at home and if I choose I can show the health dept the history of each monitor. I do wish it could be used on my laptop but for the price and function, the cell phone app is adequate

Two X3 Temperature & Humidity Sensors & SpeakerHub Starter Kit

Great performance, reliable

After test-driving a few Yolink sensors, I ordered threw out all my old Samsung sensors and replaced them with Yolink. The more reliable protocol, stability, and long battery life are winners. So far, I am very satisfied with the new sensors, too.
