SpeakerHub - Smart Home Speaker Hub, Plays Tones/Alarms and Your Text-to-Speech Custom Messages, Voice Announcements, Audio Voice Alert, Spoken Alerts, LoRa-Powered ¼ Mile Range, WiFi Required

This is the central hub required for all YoLink products. Pros: - Plays tones, alarms, and custom text-to-speech messages - Excellent LoRa range (1/4 mile) - Voice announcements and spoken alerts work great - Easy to expand coverage Cons: - Needs WiFi for full function I added a second one for my 5 acre property and now have the whole parcel covered. Can even use a sensor with a neighbor on his property for joint projects. The whole YoLink ecosystem is rock solid. Would I recommend? Yes, 5 stars.

Amazing hub, you get audio message of alarm, and you can use your own file for custom messages. Simple setup

I purchased this motion detector with the Yolink motion detector. I installed the motion detector on a tree next to my driveway and so far it has worked very well and reliably. The speaker hub is in the kitchen and it announces when someone drives or walks into my driveway. I also have three of the Yolink door sensors and those too have worked very well. Very pleased with the results so far. Excellent results with a value priced system.

Best system we have used! Very little false notifications. Very easy to set up and install.

I'm totally blind. The first thing I noticed about this is the box is square in shape and about 1 inch tall when sitting on a table. The power cord is a micro USB cord and plugs into the box with the points down. The box is meant to be set on a shelf or table. There are 3 buttons on the front of it near the front edge. The QR code is on the underside of it. There are little wholes all around the lower edge of the unit when sitting on a table. After plugging in the box and then trying to determine what the 3 buttons did! I found the left most is Volume down, the middle one I'm guessing is for configuring it being it didn't seem to do anything when pressed a few times. The right most if volume up. When into the App and scanned the QR code and then pressed the center button to get the hub online. The hub on its own doesn't give any voice messages or nothing like that. Tried that to see what it would do on its own out of the box. But again that could have been the way I have the sensors configured as far as alerts. Next went and played with the Automation smart stuff in the App to see what I could do. Yes you can create automation for the hub and have it play a sound along with speaking a written message that you type into the App on your phone. You can have the tone and message also repeat a few times if you like. You can also set the volume in the App, but that doesn't work for a totally blind person Being the controls doesn't work for a person using a screen reader. The nice thing is there is a test button that you can tap when setting up the sound/voice stuff so you can hear how it sounds. Default volume is whatever you currently have the hub set at if you have the volume box unchecked in the automation. So using the buttons on the hub itself and the test button in the App, set the volume to your liking and leave it. I found the speaker when doing this is on the underside of the unit and is facing down. The sound will hit whatever the hub is sitting on and then the little wholes around the lower edge causes the sound to come out all around the unit. So this unit should be set on a hard place like a table top or wooden shelf. Do not set it on something soft! If you do that, the sound will be soft and muffled. At highest volume, this may be OK for a single room. For me, this will not wake me up from sleeping being it takes something with more room filling sound to do that. If you want or need something with more room filling sound, you cannot connect an external speaker to this to help out with sound or volume.

The SpeakerHub announces when a sensor has been triggered. This has tremendous value when you are within hearing range of the hub and 1) cannot receive or see your phone for SMS or email notifications or 2) you are not a user of the YoLink App. For example, you have gate sensors on your property but it is night and your are asleep. The SpeakerHub would alert you to an intruder. It will speak the description of the sensor and optionally sound an alert tone. It can be repeated up to 3 times with a volume level you set. It can also be programmed to do this during a time window you set. Another occupant, e.g., your wife, a guest, your kids, etc., who don't have the App on their phone, would hear the alert. This could apply to a gate sensor or water leak sensor or any other YoSmart sensor. I bought two if these for my home. I have one in my living room/kitchen area that is always enabled. The other is in my bedroom enabled on a schedule during sleeping hours. I live on an acre with multiple entry gates. If someone is on my prop, especially during night hours, they are probably up to no good. I'd rather know before they can do harm. BTW, to use two or more SpeakerHubs, you will need to program the "Automation" feature in the App. This is not difficult. YoSmart has a video tutorial for this. I recommend watching all the video tutorials that apply to you equipment and setting up everything in front of you before you install. Label the sensors so you can keep track of which is which. YoSmart is the first company, after years of looking online, to offer an outdoor, waterproof, gate sensor with truly long-range wireless communication. Not only am I on 1 acre but my prop slopes downhill from my house. The gate sensors 150' away and down the hill communicate consistently with the YoLink Hub. I use Energizer lithium batteries (2 AA) in the gate sensors because they don't leak and are much longer lasting than any alkaline AA battery. The variety of sensors made by this company is extensive. Where I don't already have in-place sensors and Apps by other companies, I will now consolidate by using YoSmart sensors only. There are some YoSmart leak detection sensors in my future.

I used this hub with yolink freezer sensors. They were very easy to set up and already helped me prevent spoilage when a breaker tripped and my freezer turned off. Only minor complaints so far: 1. Sometimes it'll update every 30 seconds and other times it won't update for up to 30 minutes at a time. There's no indication in the app what causes this. Is it a connection issue? It's not based on stability of the temperature. 2. This one is user error, not the device's fault. You have to set the alerting thresholds lower than you'd expect to avoid false alarms. The devices capture all of the normal temperature variations throughout the day and happily alert even if nothing is actually wrong.

I love my yolink speaker hub and water leak alarm. They are so comforting to know I have something to help prevent a catastrophe flood in my home. I needed assistance in hooking the speaker hub and called yolink. They were so helpful. Their customer service is wonderful. I was guided through the entire procedure.

works perfect, easy to setup. batteries been in for over 12months and still going strong. best on market

No se le conecta el detector remoto de la misma marca. Un engaño. Servicio postventa que se desentienden.

This is a high quality product. It works every time. The connection is great. I recommend it to everyone.

À date qualité/prix #1. pour ma part, la configuration des différents appareils dans l'application n'est pas facile. plusieurs vidéo (En anglais seulement) mais quand vous poses les questions à IA. il devient facile de configurer selon vos critères. Je recommande le produit.

This is one of several products I’ve bought from Yolink. I have several water sensors and thermometers as well I use thermometers outside in temperatures that go as low as -30. Over the course of 2 years none of the sensors have malfunctioned and they still have more than 3/4 battery charge. I had a speaker that started glitching after a1.5 years and I when I contacted the company through email they instantly responded and promptly sent a replacement. Highly recommend them
