Easy to use and offers power measurement. Can handle different types of loads than previous model, so well suited for other stuff than lights - works well with fans

It works well other than the temp reading isnt accurate at all. It read 400 degrees one day and it was 10 above F on that day. I read comments that said you can set this to come on according to ambient temp but cant find anything in the app to do this. For the price overall, so far so good.

Great prduct, works as advertized. It was very easy to install and configure. I particularly like that it tracks power usage - you have a variety of options to track the current power being used, the power used during the day, week or month. You can also export the data for custom processing. The most calue though is the ability to create automations with other YoLink devices. I use it together with the Water Level Monitor to shut off my waterfall pump when the water level in the reservoir gets too low.

I have been using another brand of smart plug for around a decade now, but they don't do one designed for outdoors use, and since I've been very happy with all my other YoLink devices, I thought I should try this out. First up, like every YoLink product it feels solid and well built. I paired it in seconds, and plugged it in, and was up and running straight away. You can remotely control it from your phone, turn it on or off manually, or set schedules, or use a countdown timer as well. The scheduling is really cool because once you program the schedule from the phone, the schedule is stored on the actual smart plug. That means even if there's no internet connection, your schedules will continue to run. That's really nice for peace of mind. Secondly, the chances of this losing internet are pretty low. Unlike my other smart plugs that are hit or miss picking up a WiFi signal, this YoLink smart plug uses LoRa like all their other devices. That means great range, far exceeding that of WiFi. Unless you live in a Beverly Hills sized mansion your YoLink devices will have a strong signal and work reliably.But it's not just a smart outlet, it's an energy monitor too! I have a whole home energy monitoring solution from another company and they sell smart plugs, but theirs can't cope with more than 10A continuous use. The YoLink one supports 15A continuous current, which basically means that anything that can plug in, will work fine.You can also set up "if this, then that" type routines. For example if you wanted to turn on something to scare off an attempted break in, you could do that. I have YoLink vibration sensors on some of my doors and windows so if those detect vibration I could then turn on outside lights. With YoLink's other products there's a million different permutations of smart home routines you could set up. Turn on a heater when the temperature drops? No problem.One of the reasons I like YoLink products is how well designed they are. One example of that is the plug that goes into the outlet is really compact. That's great because bulky plugs often don't fit in outdoor weather proof boxes, or in multi-outlets with lots of plugs next to it.Overall, I think for everything this can do, it's well worth the money.Yes, you will need a YoLink hub, but once you have one of those you can add as many YoLink devices as you like. If you haven't already got their water leak sensors those should be your next purchase, to protect your home from the risk of expensive water damage.

I'm using this along with a temperature sensor to control a heater more finely tuned to where the temperature sensor is located for one heater. For a second area, I use a low temperature alarm to turn on a duct fan as an emergency heat source in another area in the event the primary heat source fails such as a loss of power event. What is key in that scenario is the duct fan is backed by a UPS or an inverter off a solar array. What I would change is to add a low warning and high warning as you can only control off the low or high alarm. I'd like to control devices off a warning setpoint but only get an actual alarm on a true alarm value. Example, have the fan come on at 38F but don't send me an alarm unless we reach 35F.

I was looking for something to monitor the temps of the refrigerator and freezers following a 12 hour power outage. Obviously I needed something which didn't require opening the fridge door. (My modem and router are on UPS's.) Also, another friend was gone for 4 days and his main refrigerator stopped working. The ice melted, the freezer contents melted and he had to move out of his house for the repairs.I found these YoLink products and thought I'd give them a try because their claim is a longer range (even through things like metal refers and freezers), WAY more range than typical devices, and minimal battery usage.They're are RIGHT! These things work through my metal refrigerators and through the metal on the chest freezer. I now have accurate reporting AND the ability to set parameters for alerts.In digging more into YoLink, I found they are a US based company. They also have home automation devices that also share long range connections.I have many home automation devices on my SmartThings hub (Zigbee and Z Wave). I bought a few YoLink outlets to see how they performed.I had connectivity to the YoLink outlets over 800' away in our barn!! They didn't quite reach the street 1400' away though. I'd love to have full automation all the way to the street for holiday decorations and more. I found YoLink can have more than one hub on the same network so I bought a hub for my barn. Bam! Works!! (The barn has a long range WiFi antenna which picks up the house's WiFi.)This is a brief recap. Hope it helps. Their devices are less expensive versus Zigbee or Z Wave devices. Although I have not dug into elaborate programming yet (like doing things when you arrive home or leave or temp/weather related automations), it appears this cold be a viable, better and cheaper replacement for ZigBee and Z Wave automation devices.Hope this helps everyone!
