Smart Garage Door Sensor - YoLink 1/4 Mile Wireless Garage Door Sensor for Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant, Android-iOS

YoLink Technology, a Proprietary Wireless Solution

Provided by YoSmart, YoLink is a proprietary wireless technology that combines Semtech's LoRa wireless technology with the YoSmart smart home/building protocol, offering the most advanced smart home/building devices solution. Compared to other smart home protocols like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Z-Wave, YoLink boasts several advantages, including low-power consumption, long-distance coverage, and strong resistance to interference.

The YoLink system is designed to be easily set up and is a cost-effective solution that creates a reliable, robust, and secure IoT network. To use the YoLink system, users require a YoLink Hub (included) and a compatible smartphone or tablet running iOS 9 or higher, or Android 4.4 or higher.

World's Longest Wireless Range

Powered by LoRa technology, the YoLink system offers the industry's longest receiving range, up to 1/4 mile. This long-range coverage enables the use of YoLink devices in challenging areas for most residential Wi-Fi systems, such as basements, outdoor porch/patio areas, sheds, free-standing garages, and remote outbuildings on your property.

Early-Warning Notifications

The YoLink system provides real-time early-warning notifications in the form of smartphone banner alerts, limited SMS/text messages, and emails, each of which can be configured to your specific needs. It's important to note that the YoLink Garage Door Sensor does not offer an audible alarm, but sends notifications only. For an audible alarm, users can consider the YoLink Siren Alarm.

Low-Power, Longer Battery Life

Due to the low-power consumption of YoLink devices, their batteries can last up to 5 years or more (depending on usage and application), using standard AAA Alkaline batteries. Lithium batteries are not required.

From Simple to Super-Smart

After setting up your notification preferences, the YoLink system can be used simply to monitor your home and property. Alternatively, users can utilize advanced automation features, including integration with Alexa and IFTTT, to interact with other YoLink and third-party smart devices, limited only by their imagination.

Dependency on YoLink Hub

It's important to note that the YoLink Hub is the only central controller for YoLink devices, connecting them to the internet and the cloud. Without the YoLink Hub, the smart sensor included in this kit does not work with the YoLink app and does not support third-party integration with Alexa and IFTTT.

In conclusion, YoLink Technology offers a comprehensive smart home/building solution that combines the benefits of low-power, long-range wireless communication with a reliable and secure IoT network. Its ease of use, advanced features, and cost-effectiveness make it a compelling choice for those seeking to enhance their home or building automation needs.
