YoLink Smart Outdoor Motion Detector, Trespassing Alarm, Driveway Alert, 1/4 Mile Range LoRa-Powered Wireless Motion Sensor, App for Remote Monitoring & Alerts, Alexa, IFTTT. Hub Required!

Easy to install and works well at notifying me when someone is coming down the driveway. Needs a Yolink setup to work.

Quick delivery thank you, item was as described.

Over all, I really like this motion sensor. I have been waiting a while for a company to make an outside motion sensor that works with Alexa. At the beginning of 2021, I did suggest this to Yolinks in their feedback section. Yolink seems to be very open to feedback. What I like/PROS ​about this motion sensior. 1) How small it is compared to other outside motion sensors on the market. Much easier to place in location where it is not as noticeable. 2) Like all Yolink devices, this device is extremely easy to setup. In the app, tap the scan icon, scan the QR, tap bind, your done. 3) The Yolink app is extremely user-friendly. The designers and programmers must actually be using the app and Yolink devices. In the app, it is very easy to rename the Yolink device to what is convenient and/or useful to you. Device settings are easily changed, tap the device icon, then select setting. No hunting and digging around in four or five deep menus, trying to find something that is hidden under some obscure label/name. 4) Another very nice thing that the Yolink app and Alexa skill does is, any new Yolink device scanned is automaticall added to Alexa's device list. No need to have Alexa scan for new devices before you can start setting up routines in Alexa. 5) Another great feature is that when a sensor sends a notice to your phone, it also includes the battery status. No more guessing if batteries are low. You can also see this within the app by selecting the device, then settings where you can see the battery level. 6) This is more about the Yolink hub that the sensors connect to. If the sensors are controlling other Yolink devices such as wall switches, electrical plugs/outlets or even setting off the Yolink alarm siren, It does NOT need internet connectivity. Yolink devices communicate to each other via the Yolink hub. This interaction is almost instant. Internet access is needed to communicate with Alexa and other none Yolink devices an to be able to sent notifications to your phone. At this time, I cannot rate the battery life. Only been using the outside motion sensors for four days (as of 05/31/21). If they are like the other Yolink devices, the battery life should be very good. Currently I have one of these sensor for my driveway. If it detects motion, I get notified on my phone and I have a routine in Alexa setup to make an announcement on all echo speakers. Love this feature. I also setup one for my side door, doing similar things. If you have kids playing in the yard, you might want to set times when different sensors are active and when they are not. At night, I am testing how good these sensor and the Alexa Yolink skill is at turning on different exterior lights, when motion is detected. The only concerned I have, it is not really a CON at this time. 1) The small mounting bracket, will it hold up to Florida weather? Only time will tell. At this time, I cannot reduce the rating because I do not know how strong the mounting bracket is. This maybe a CON for some, not for me. 1) The mounting bracket only has vertical movement/adjustment, no horizontal adjustment at all. Not an issue for me, but might be for some. These motion sensors are replacing existing sensor around my home. The driveway sensor, a weather/rain hood is already installed and pointing in the correct direction. The other one, like other outdoor sensors I have, are mounted under the house/roof eaves for some protection, on mounts I have already designed and pointed in the desired direction. So far, these new Yolink outdoor motion sensors are working out much better than I expected. I have two more on order (05/30/21) for my front and back doors. Only time will tell if they will holdup to normal Florida weather. I will update if my option changes.

Zero Google home assistant even though it was supposed to be integrated. Makes it a bigger work around with more cost. Generally reliable but needs updating like a lot of their line up. Usb C, solar, more integrattions etc

Works excellent but wish more options for alarms and users.
