Home Security Starter Kit for DIY Security

The YoLink Door & Window Sensor is a wireless smart sensor designed for indoor use to monitor and report the open/closed status of windows, doors, and other items. Unlike the Outdoor Contact Sensor, this model is intended for dry, indoor applications.

This sensor boasts several key features. It displays the real-time position status on the YoLink app, allowing you to always know if a door or window is open or closed. The wireless design means no wiring is required for installation. The sensor supports home security and burglar/intrusion detection, as well as lighting control applications. YoLink Control even enables the Door Sensor to directly control other YoLink devices without an internet connection. Additionally, it integrates with Alexa and IFTTT.

The benefits of the YoLink Door & Window Sensor are numerous. Using the YoLink app, you can monitor the open/closed status of doors and windows in your home or property. The Open-Remind app feature will alert you if a door or window is left open too long. This sensor has a lower cost of ownership compared to other technologies, as its low-power operation can yield battery life of over 5 years. Maintenance is carefree, with fewer battery replacements required. Low-battery alerts provide advanced warning to replace the standard alkaline AAA batteries.

Installation of the YoLink Door & Window Sensor is extremely easy and fast, using the YoLink app's Scan & Play feature. The only requirements are a YoLink Hub with an internet connection (wired Ethernet or 2.4GHz Wi-Fi) and a compatible smartphone or tablet.

The sensor's design is handsome, fitting in with most home decors. Its clean, modern shape and pleasing white color complement a variety of environments. But the real standout feature is the sensor's remarkable wireless range. Powered by LoRa (Long-Range/Low-Power) technology, it can achieve an open-air range of 1/4 mile - the longest in the smart home industry.

Whether monitoring a fridge/freezer door, securing your property, or automating your lighting, the YoLink Door & Window Sensor is an invaluable addition to any YoLink smart home system. By leveraging its long-range wireless connectivity and extended battery life, you can conveniently self-monitor your home with phone notifications, emails, and SMS messages. For comprehensive home security, you can also utilize the available VirtuAlarm central station monitoring service.
