Smart Plugs, YoLink 1/4 Mile World's Longest Range Smart Plug Compatible with Alexa, IFTTT 10A Smart Home Plug Mini Outlet, Remote Control Home Appliances from Anywhere, 4 Packs, YoLink Hub Included

This YoLink Mini Plug is absolutely amazing for long-range smart home control! The 1/4 mile range claim isn't just marketing hype - this thing actually works from incredible distances that leave other smart plugs in the dust. I've tested it from various locations around my property and I'm blown away by the connectivity. Even from the far end of my yard, through multiple walls and obstacles, it maintains a solid connection. No more dead zones or frustrating dropouts like I experienced with WiFi-based plugs. Setup was surprisingly simple and the app interface is clean and responsive. I love being able to control outdoor equipment, garage tools, and remote appliances without worrying about signal strength. The build quality feels solid too - good weight and sturdy construction that inspires confidence for long-term use. The compact size doesn't block adjacent outlets, which is a nice design touch. For anyone with a large property, outbuildings, or just wanting reliable smart plug control without range anxiety, this YoLink Mini Plug is a game-changer. The world's longest range claim seems legit based on my real-world testing! Finally found a smart plug that actually works everywhere I need it to. Highly recommend!

So I'm a cybersecurity engineer, automating my personal systems. I have houses 700 miles apart, and I have a ridiculous level of automation because that's just how I roll. So much of the gear I use works great when I'm in the room, and fails the hour I leave for the other house. Wifi is a wonderful thing, when it works. The problem is it is easy to jam up wifi, AND so many of the IOT devices are based on 2.4ghz wifi that can be shut down by any baby monitors that use wifi frequencies but do not use wifi. A baby monitor /can/ shut down any 2.4ghz wifi within a half mile. So as a result I see tons of wifi failures in that 2.4ghz band. It's not just baby monitors, but those are a common example, there are many others. Yolink uses loran technology for communication, easily overcoming wifi failure modes. This is important to ME. Your mileage may vary. I have only two issues with yolink products. One is the speakerhub, it is wifi only, so it falls outside of my "sphere of reliability", I /really/ with it had an ethernet port. Speakerhub makes a noise when wifi goes up and down... I hear that noise a LOT. And it isn't my wifi router's fault, any properly operating wifi AP will fail to operate when blocked by a interfering signal, that is a required part of the wifi protocol, wifi that doesn't do this is actually illegal because it might be near a military radar installation. The second thing about YoLink is that sometimes I need polling cycles of short duration, so for example a temperature probe on an air conditioner will need to have fast polling cycles to capture the curves needed to check performance of the unit. The hour polling cycles are great for most things, but sometimes I need more frequent polling cycles, even if only temporary. I wish there was a way for me to buy extra polling cycles on a month to month basis, but I think that functionality is probably reserved to larger customers with larger operations. So the power of the yolink platform is that because it is not on your wifi, it can be used to repair and remediate issues with your wifi. In my redundancy setup, I have a hub on each of the ISP's feeding a site, so that if one ISP is down, I can reboot the router from the other ISP connection, from anywhere on the planet. And in the short time I have been doing this, I have used it to resolve issues with both ISP's, thereby avoiding 20 hours of driving. I have many brands of remote power modules, as well as temperature sensors, 4 brands of surveillance cameras, a cisco dual-wan router, hvac controls, and automations to manage some of my personal "infrastructure". YoLink has been the solution for many problems, and a joy to build ifttt automations for. It is clean and simple.

After many hours of research, decided to go with the YoLink product line. Purchased the hub, water sensors, water valve controller, couple of the outlet controls, motion sensor, and a door sensor (which by the way works fantastic for the garage door eliminating the question 5 minutes after leaving home, did we close the garage door?) The outlet controller is great, scan the QR code which will connect it to your hub, plug it in and done. You can control the plug from your phone. The Yolink app is easy to use, controls everything on the system with a lot of different options. Sends alerts to your email or via text message. The best part, the app is FREE, no subscription costs. Adding equipment is a breeze, just scan the QR code on the device and it connects wireless to the hub.

I'm a big fan of Yolink products and have many of them throughout my house - a water shut-off valve, leak detectors, temp sensors, and an alarm system comprised of Yolink contact sensors and alarm sirens. These outlets were an addition to the alarm system where they switched on when the alarm triggered and powered a large outdoor siren, and also as part of the temp sensor system where they kicked on fans if temperatures hit a maximum in my garage and attic, then kicked off as temperatures cooled down. In those roles they have worked flawlessly, without the need of Internet connectivity. Like every other Yolink product I have, it's well made and feels solid in the hand, and not like some cheap piece of plastic that will break if you dropped it. A Yolink hub is required to get any of it to work, but they practically give those away with their bundled items. Integrating it all with Alexa was painless. The Yolink app can be somewhat confusing, but once you figure out the mechanics of what it's doing it gets easier to work with. Overall it's just another good quality Yolink product. Perhaps more expensive than others, but worth it.

The YoLink devices provide the most reliable and stable network that I have experienced. The devices are also well designed. Examples: the water sensors have sensors on top of the device as well as on the bottom. Water sensors with water-sensitive cables are available. The cables make it easy to get under large appliances as well to replace batteries. The batteries needed for some devices will last for years. The YoLink devices I am using are the Hubs, Smart Power Strips, Water Sensors with and without the water-sensitive cables, and the Mini Plugs

great plug with power monitoring like all yolink products easy to enroll and use, also shows up in homeseer and amazon for easy control

I’ve used Yolink for 3 years. Great range. I use them for garden lights, fountains and all around the house with Alexa. They also work with Home Assistant. It’s really nice to be able to use Alexa & HA at the same time. They aren’t bound to one ecosystem or the other solely like other companies.

Great smart electrical plugs. I now have about a dozen of these smart plugs from Yolink. Yolink makes their devices extremely easy to setup. Open the Yolink app, at the top of the screen is the icon to scan QR codes, tap on it, scan the QR code on the Yolink smart device (smart plug in this case). The app shows it has the device's (plug's) information. Tap the bind button and basically it is done. You can then select the device's settings and rename to something useful and even assign it to a room if you would like. One of the greatest things Yolink has done is with the integration between their app and their Alexa skill. Once you scan and bind a Yolink device, if you use Alexa and have the Yolink hub, the new Yolink device is automatically added to the list of devices and is available/controllable by Alexa. You do not need to open the Alexa app, go into settings, then device setting, press the plus (+) to add a new device, then press scan for new devices and HOPE the new device is found. With Yolink, the new Yolink device is already added to Alexa and waiting for you to give it a command or create a routine for it. I do have other Yolink devices such as their motion sensors, hand remote and their hub. From the time the motion sensors detects motion and the Yolink plug turns on, is almost instant. Other companies hubs take a few seconds and if you are using wifi, no hub devices, it can take over five seconds to react. For the motion sensors, I have setup IFTTT routines in the hub to turn on/off lights connected to these plugs. Does NOT need the internet to work, once setup. Because of the easy of setup, quick response time and the Alexa automatic integration, I wish there were an option for ten (10) stars, So, far, Yolink and their line of smart home devices deserve every star. One last thing, I have found that Yolink DOES read user's feedback AND accept suggestions from their customers. For this, I give two thumbs up 👍👍 to Yolink and its C/S.
