YoLink makes sensors, water valves and switches that use LoRa radio, which reaches much farther than Wi-Fi or Zigbee. That makes it popular for garages, sheds and big properties.

The good news: YoLink’s long-range radio solves real problems, like monitoring a detached garage or a well house, and the system is cheap with no fees.
The bad news: YoLink is a small company, and most features depend on its cloud, unless you add the YoLink Local Hub, which can run automations on your own network.
If you own YoLink
- Keep your hub online and updated.
- For critical uses like water leaks, use YoLink’s valve so it can shut the water off even if your phone misses the alert.
