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?

No, we have zero monthly subscription fees with using any of our hubs and YoLink devices.

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.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

"Yolink products are the best. I never thought I would buy into a Hub system but that is exactly what makes this product work so well. Device to device paring is what makes there family of devices work so well even without internet or wifi access. Very accurate with nice graphical data in the app to monitor trends"

- Richard

"These are my only smart home devices that out of all, always work. There have never been any issues. No connectivity issues, no update issues, no battery issues. If you use smart home devices, you know how annoying they can be. YoLink just works, all the time. It’s amazing"

- Marsiv

"This had to be and remains for several months now one of the best technology solutions out there. Was so incredible easy to set up. Even prompted me after several days of using it through wifi, that maybe hard-wired Ethernet was a better option. I agreed, and while I had zero issues with wifi (we have great wifi), the technologist designing this system knew that hard-wired is always better and they didn't take any chances. I loved this solution and the devices you could connect so much..."

- M. Henry

"This hub was extremely easy to set up and connect to the app. It’s a bit smaller than a Smartthings hub (see pic) for reference. I like the variety of devices that I can connect to this and they’ll go longer range than Bluetooth or Wi-Fi because it uses LoRa. I ordered the door sensor and connected it to my garage which is detached and down an alley from my condo. Looking forward to replacing some of my other smart homes devices with these LoRa based sensors. Great value and cool technology!"

- Donald M.

"These devices are brilliant. They are (by far) the least expensive brand of home automation products, have a MUCH longer range than all others, and simply work perfect - all of the time.

- Rick Z.

Espectacular 😊👍🏾 Recomendado

Great system!

I love this system because of how easy it is to set up and the remote access to it.

Excellent product

Easy setup, total efficiency

As said in the title it's easy to setup the YoLink hub and to download the app. I'm very happy to buy this materiel. The signals, however, past through a concrete slab. Nice purchase

Yo link Temp and Humidity meter

This is the best tool I've put into my greenhouse operation. I bought 3 sensors downloaded the app and hooked up the hub to my router. I can check temps anytime of day, anywhere.
I love it.

Simple and it works

I have installed the controller and sensor on three doors all with different openers. It was a very simple install and works on all three. No more wondering if I remembered to close the door.

Weatherproof Temperature and Humidity Sensor, Hub Required!

Great product

I have bought a few of these for myself and friends. Installed and tested in less than 30 mins total. One friend called me a week later and said she had a leak under her sink that she probably would not have found until it leaked out onto the floor. Well worth the cost to eliminate a $300 plumber bill to literally thousands of dollars in damage if left undiscovered. Great product!
