Reliable, easy to use, well designed product.
I bought a hub with two sensors to detect leaks on a guest bathroom that we donât use very often.This product does what it is designed to do perfectly.The hub connected to our WiFi network seamlessly. The sensors paired with the hub quickly and reliably. The written instructions were easy to understand, and the mobile app was easy to use.The sensors connect to the hub using a long-range wireless protocol called LoRa, so you can put the hub close to your Wi-Fi access point, and the sensors anywhere in the house. Our hub is in a different room from the sensors, and there were no problems with connecting everything together.Straight out of the box, the hub and sensors provide alerts via email, text message, or a notification to the Yolink app. However, the sensors and hub donât have an alarm built in, so you have a few options if you want an audio alert.You can buy a yolink siren that connects to the hub, and create a rule in the yolink app to sound the siren when the sensors detect water. The siren is not very expensive, and you can put it anywhere in your home – it connects to the hub.Or, if you have Alexa or Google Home devices, you can link them to the sensors and have them give an announcement when one of the sensors detects water. We have Alexa devices, and linking them was as simple as downloading the Yolink Skill, linking Alexa to the Yolink account, and creating an Alexa routine that triggers on a sensor event, and announces a message on all Alexa devices.The sensors can detect either standing water below or drips from above. They continue to send alerts while they detect water – at an interval you can configure – and each alert results in an email, notification, or alert to Alexa or Google home. So even if you miss the first alert, you will likely notice the subsequent ones.The alerts are delivered incredibly quickly – less than a second in my simple test – so even a bad leak can be stopped before a lot of damage is done.All in all, a simple, well designed product that is well worth the price for a little peace of mind.

Has not failed me yet
Works well. Sensitivity is good. The design is perfect for my set up. Sump pump room. The sensor has the pins on the top and bottom. So any sprays are also registered. Had a failure a few years ago where the ferco reducer popped off the discharge piping. Resulting in water being sprayed instead of staying in the pipe. With this unit any droplets that hit the top of the sensor will also set it off instead of just waiting for the liquid level to raise from the bottom. Overall happy with setup. Sensor is around 75 feet thru a few walls from the Uplink Hub box. Strong signal. App is easy to use. Battery level displayed in app.Concerns – The sensor is sealed. Not sure yet if its possible to change the battery without breaking the seal.

Excellent product
I live in the Netherlands, and was looking for smart water sensors to connect to my Alexa setup. Due to the limited range of the Zigbee protocol, I wanted something different and found these sensors by Yolink.Now that I have them installed I am pleasantly surprised by the quality, range and ease of use of these devices! The sensors and hub are also smaller than I expected, so they are easy to hide away.Setup was extremely easy, the hub came online in seconds, and after scanning the sensor QR codes in the Yolink app, and a button push on the water leak sensors, they also came online without hesitation.I simulated a water leak by putting a coin on the sensor contacts, and received a notification within a second. It could not be easier!Range is definitely much better than Zigbee. I put one of the sensors two floors down from the hub, with the floors being rebarred concrete, but the device remains steady online. Connecting to Alexa was also very easy, so now I will receive alerts on my Echo devices as soon as one of the sensors detects a leak. Highly recommended!I would love to buy more products from Yolink, especially the smart plugs. But unfortunately the plugs are currently US only, so hoping that EU type plugs will come available soon.

Easy to Setup and Monitor Water & Temperature
Very simple to setup, configure and sync with 2 water and 1 temperature sensor. I now have a peace of mind now that i have a reliable water and temperature sensors around my house. Havenât experienced any connection issues or interference with my home wifi or any other electronics in my house. Its been about 3 months running and no issues at all. Looking forward to add additional sensors around the house for further monitoring.

YoLink’s water leak sensor is very impressive and it’s quite easy to setup just with a smartphone. It just took me 5 minutes to setup the hub and it’s two sensors. All you need to do is connect the Yolink’s hub to router through network cable, install YoLink app, create account, and add devices by scanning the QR code from each of the devices. It’s a value for money and saves money on home insurance premiums too.I would definitely recommend to go with this product and I bet you will not regret it.

Super easy to install, looks like good quality components and it seems to work flawlessly. Very happy with the purchase so far! I love that the hub can be plugged into my router and the hub does the work communicating to the sensors. Range was always a problem with other systems I used and this seems to be no issue at all, even around walls and on different levels. The App is simple, easy to set up and works great. Great purchase as far as I’m concerned.

Already using this in my own home and got an additional one for my senior dad. Due to Covid restrictions I was unable to install when the parcel was received. Two month later I am ready to set up but olg contained only 1 sensor (instead of 2). I contacted customer service who promptly initiated sending a replacement at no charge. Received the second sensor and added it to my dads system. All working as expected and very happy with customer service. Would buy again.
