YoLink Outdoor Temperature & Humidity Sensor, YS8005

Rainproof/weatherproof design that holds up well outdoors. Pros: - Accurate temperature and humidity monitoring - Excellent 1/4 mile LoRa range even through walls and distance - Can trigger automations when temps reach certain thresholds - Low radiation and very reliable compared to WiFi sensors - Part of the fantastic expanding YoLink ecosystem Cons: - Requires the YoLink Hub I now have several of these around the property (including one in the crawl space for my whiskey stash!). The ability to automate actions based on temperature is a game changer. The whole YoLink system just works better than anything else I've tried. Would I recommend? Yes, 5 stars.

I purchased this heat sensor for my generator enclosure. I have heard horror stories about people's (including my neighbor generator) generators over heating and stop working due to the cooling/exhaust fan stopping working. The enclosure just requires a single cooling/exhaust fan. I had two installed. They both do not run at the same time. One is for a backup. Using this sensor, it monitors the temperature in the enclosure. If it start over heating (user adjustable). I get notified a high temperature warning for my generator enclosure on my phone. At the same time, the second/backup fan is automatically turn on. So I do not need to do anything. Please note that go be notified and for any type of automation, the Yolink hub is required. The pros of Yolink and their devices. 1) Easy setup, using the app, scan the QR code on the device and it is added. You can change the name of the device if needed (highly recommend) 2) The great customer service. Regardless if it is a question, issue (have not had any so far) or even a suggestion, a REAL, living/breathing person will respond to you. 3) The large variety of devices and sensors they offer. 4) The ability of the devices and sensors to interact with each other via the hub and with Alexa and the devices linked to Alexa, again via the Yolink hub. As far as any Cons: I have not found any yet.

YoLink products are great. The range is far superior to anything else. Integrates with Alexa very easily--you can just ask her what the temperature is. I have several of these and none have failed...nor has any of their other products I've installed. Temperature seems accurate with other devices I've compared them with. Have to install their hub...which connects to the web via WiFi or Lan. Batteries last for quite a long time...some of my devices have been in use for over a year with plenty of battery life to go.

I have both indoor and outdoor sensors! Easy to set up and I have not had one problem with it. Great app easy to use and sends me notifications based on my settings. Highly recommend Youlink!!

I've got lots of YoLink devices, including the water leak sensors, automatic water shut off, a temperature sensor for my pool, infrared remote controller, and more. The hardware and software is really good. Yes, you may think "why should I pay this much for a temperature sensor?" I learned the hard way. I wasted a lot of money on Govee ones with the worst battery life ever. Yes, I saved on the price up front but I have to replace the batteries every 2 or 3 months. And those ones aren't even connected to the internet! Instead, with YoLink, the batteries last for years and the devices are connected to the internet. If you want alerts for a specific temperature threshold you can do that easily, and no matter where in the world you are, as long as your phone has a signal, you'll get an alert. Great products and are priced fairly for what you get. In this picture you'll see the waterproof temp and humidity sensor. I have it hanging up in a spot outside my house, that doesn't get direct sun, or rain. The YoLink hub is necessary but you only need one of those for all your devices. That's the secret sauce and why the signal range is so good and the batteries last a long time, as they use "LoRa" protocol.

I decided to buy the Yo-Link base station, 2 motion sensors, and 2 outdoor temperature sensors. One motion sensor is in the living room and is very sensitive and detects the slightest movement. The other sensor is in my mailbox. I get an instant notification, and email whenever there is movement in my apartment. I had mail stolen from me. It is nice to know when I get mail, or if someone is tampering with my mailbox. The mailbox is on the other side of my apartment building, probably at least 1,000 feet away. I was surprised my base can get a signal on my mailbox that it is so far away. I have an outdoor temperature sensor to tell me the current temperature outdoors, and an outdoor temperature sensor in my car. I can now get the temperature of my car on cold winter days when I use the remote start. I had troubles integrating it with Alexa, and haven't used it. So I am only giving it four stars. Using the Yo-Link app, and the notifications are fine with me though. I have an indoor temperature sensor that works fine, but I have not integrated any automation on it to turn on alexa enabled plug to run the air conditioner or heater at certain temperatures, but the feature is there. The only gripe I have, if I need to keep temperature records.. The temperature sensors only report to the base every 15 to 30 minutes. It will miss high and low temperatures for the day. The same thing with a car temperature, sometimes by the time I remote start my car... The car will already be warmed up by the next time the sensor reports to the base. It is probably built that way to save battery life. Also, I have set up an alert if the car reaches 110 or 120 degrees during the summer, to remind me to take out electronics that have batteries, or anything that can explode in high heat. The Yo-Link temperature and motion sensors have a wide variety of uses, good range, and overall I am satisified. Just had issues connecting it with Alexa.

YoLink products are the best. Using this to monitor greenhouse temperature and humidity and another to keep an eye on temperature in the chicken run.

27 months and it has stopped. I purchased it in Nov 23. There's another 1 star review in Jan 26 where a Nov. 23 purchase died. I'm in March 26. " 2 years DEAD." is the other review. The App says offline. I sometimes get 1 blink on the "Set" button, sometimes. I don't get the reset string of blinks. Tried brand new AAAs and AAAs in use in other devices. No go. The batteries in this when it died do work in other devices. At 35-36 bucks it really isn't a value deal if you can ask Alexa what the temp is and Alexa gives you the generic area weather. I did have the hub hooked up to Alexa and it was nice to ask what MY temp. was though. I can download the AWN app and look to see people that have weather stations close to me and share the info online. The closest is about a 10 min. walk away. Close enough. I do have the YoLink indoor temp/humidity sensor and knock on wood it is working fine through the hub.

Comprei para acompanhar a temperatura na casa das montanhas. Perfeito!! Com o Hub da Yolink tenho em tempo real a informação, à distância. A interface me dá a temperatura, umidade e o ponto de orvalho. Toda a configuração foi fácil de ser feita. Se está querendo acompanhar essas informações à distância, RECOMENDO DEMAIS.

J'ai ce capteur depuis plusieurs mois et il fonctionne parfaitement. Il est connecté a mon téléphone avec l'application du fabricant. Jai aussi plusieurs autres capteurs de cette marque et je suis vraiment ravi car aucun ne ma fait défaut jusqu'ici. J'ai installé un kit home assistant dans ma maison et tout mes capteurs sont connecté a mon système. Tout a été rapide et facile a installer. Je recommande.

Great product.

I bought this when the outdoor sensor for my Netatmo system died, and I couldn’t get a new one. It works well and has a fantastic range from hub to sensor. App also works well.

I bought this to monitor the temperature and humidity in our attic. I already have the YoLink hub so connecting this sensor to the system took less than a minute. I get live readouts on my phone wherever I am and I can set high/low temperature and humidity level alerts if I want. I've had door and window sensors for 2 years now and still on the original batteries. I can also monitor the remaining battery life of each sensor on my phone.
