YoLink SpeakerHub & Outdoor Motion Sensor Smart Home and Security Kit, Driveway Alert – Audio Hub Plays Tones/Sounds, Spoken Messages, LoRa-Powered ¼ Mile Range, WiFi Required

Pros:- App control and hub integration for convenient monitoring.- Impressive customization options for a smart experience.Cons:- Challenging setup process.- Limited motion detection range; effective only within 5 meters.- Falls short of advertised distance in real-world usage.Summary:While the Outdoor Motion Sensor offers app control and extensive customization, its setup complexity and disappointing motion detection range, far from the advertised distance, left me dissatisfied. Returned the product due to unreliable performance outside the 5-meter range. Potential for improvement with future updates.

The system is excellent - the range is absolutely amazing and the sensor being PIR gives far fewer false positives than my camera based sensors. The set up and integration with Alexa is also very simple and works very well (can make Alexa devices respond to motion). The initial speaker hub failed though, fortunately just inside Amazons return window (who refunded in full and I bought a replacement), however if not I think it would have been difficult to get value for money from the Yolink warranty as they appear to be US based and you have to pay for return postage.

The sensor stopped working after just 3 months. Trying to claim under consumer rights but unable to contact seller.

The whole point of a motion sensor is that it works each & every time, particularly this one, as I want to know when someone or a vehicle has come down my drive. Sadly this does not do the job. It has a strong signal to the hub, & after contacting customer support to help with the set up, which has areas that are very complicated to understand it worked. Then it has decided to only work intermittently! All very frustrating, & at the moment a waste of money, as it can not be relied on!

I set this up as a driveway sensor, which is about 200 ft from the house. Works great. You can use it anywhere you have a wi-fi signal.

I have been looking for a replacement for my existing unit (HTZSafe solar driveway alarm) which I have had for 4 years and has worked well but eventually experienced water ingress which caused it to fail. I looked at replacing the rechargeable batteries but the internal screws were corroded and so decided to buy a new one.The app for this device has a load of functionality which looks great. Still trying to work out their operational concepts relating to behavior, scenarios and scenes but I expect it will be more than adequate.The email and SMS reporting are excellent and missing from my previous model which immediately lets me know when someone has entered our property when we are away and I can check the cameras. This looks excellent so far with tons of ability to expand the sensors and alerting and integration with IFTTT should provide everything I need. So far so good and more than happy.

I have a long driveway and this sensor is about 150 feet from the receiver, which is inside my house. The signal to the receiver seems to be stable and reliable. There have been very few false alarms.I am using it with Alexa to give me a verbal alert when someone enters the driveway. This works great.So far, the only problem is that it once failed to detect an electric car. This could be a common problem with PIR sensors. As far as I know, I have only had one electric car enter my driveway, and it was missed.

I was looking for a way to be notified when someone comes up my driveway because my ring camera doesn’t always alert me by the time they get to the top of my driveway.So initially I purchased a popular owl driveway alarm which did work well. But it wasn’t smart. I wanted something that would not only alert me via a speaker, I also wanted on alerts on devices I always carry with me like my smartphone or Apple Watch.Fortunately this device fits the bill. If you want a driveway alarm that is reliable and is also smart, you should purchase this.PROS- Get alerts from the speaker hub, email, smart phone app notifications and sms.- easy to set up. It took more time to screw the thing to a tree then to actually pair it to the app.- Water and weather Resistant. There is a nice rubber seal on the inside to prevent water from getting in.- Works from far away. I have mine at the end of my driveway which is about 100-200 feet away and the signal is strong.- Very little delay from when a car or person passes through the sensor to the alert that is sent to the speaker hub and your smart phone.- The app is very flexible in terms of set up and the type of alerts you can get.- You can have the speaker hub say exactly what you type or upload your own Audio.CONS- I feel like I’ve had a few false alerts. But it may be because it’s an animal running by that triggers it which I can’t see.- Speaking of can’t see, I wish this had a camera attached to it. It would be a killer combo.I’ve been using a lot of the YoLink products because they are so easy to set up and work really well. Even if you lose WiFi these devices are set up to still work which I love. I wish YoLink made more smart home products because I would buy them all.

This is so much better than the other wireless technologies I've tried. I've tried WiFi and my video doorbell wireless and they're very unreliable in the same location. The long-range bluetooth has never dropped off... never. It never misses motion and after five months on the job it still show battery capacity as "full".installation is easy and this has been out in the Seattle rain all winter without complaint.I have used another YoSmart [indoor] motion detector inside a metal mailbox about 75 years away from the house. Again, flawless performance from the long-range bluetooth.And the price is very reasonable.Tech support is good, and features English speakers.Highly recommend.
