Very interesting and helpful. Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. Two thumbs up!!!
I'm a big user of Yolink Outdoor Sensors, Siren and Key Fob. Their Gear is rock solid and easy setup even you need to get a hub. They work excellent with Alexa.
I bet this will make a lot of Prime delivery men very happy!
Or Women 😀
Thank you very much for the share, it is very helpful. I also bought these outdoor motion sensor and use it for similar application. However, the apps always shows "motion detected" and the "Time to enter No-Motion state" suddenly change to a huge number (by default it is 1 minutes only), although it does not affect the function but it is quite annoying.
Awesome thanks for the vid... What is the range of the sensor and does it have a sensitivity adjustment?
That's great! All you need to do to open the gate is reach over in front of the outdoor sensor and wave your hand... Nice! simplicity often undermines security. I would have mounted the motion sensor some distance in from the gate.
Yeah. I soon relocated it to the low post inside. It's still working out great!
I have a question about yo link.... If the Wi-Fi goes down in the house and somebody opens my door how do I get the alert on my phone when I'm at work? Or away on vacation?
Just ordered one of these and figured you would have a video about it I could watch until it arrives! I have a very long driveway and I want to use it to announce visitors, the only problem I might have is a lot of wildlife on my property. Is there any adjustment on the sensitivity?
Hello, Yes. You can choose 3-different sensitivity levels (low, medium, high). -Todd
What device/brand/series is your "kitchen counter" screen?
and if you need to get IN just reach over the fence and wave your hand past the new exit sensor.. :)
What happens if someone throws a basketball or other objects over the gate. Will it open. Will wild animals open the gate. Is it possible to access that motion sensor from the other side to open the gate.
By any chance do you know how to change the batteries in the sensor?
Will rain cause the motion sensor to go off?
how accurate are these for not detecting pets leaves birds etc
hello, I have ring and alexa, but alexa does not notify when there are people at the door, only if the bell rings, will I be missing a sensor?
Hi Todd, can you please let me know if I can connect this sensors to the siren and also to the floodlight ring cameras ,? Thanks
To the yolink Siren, yes. You may be able to create an Alexa routine to have it work with your Ring camera...
I added a line to the routine so that Alexa tells you when the sensor is tripped so I don’t have to watch the monitor. We have the reverse setup but when the Blink sensor is tripped she says “Someone is at the front door” and then takes the live feed for 1 minute.
I would MOVE that sensor (if possible) so that someone from outside isn’t able to activate that gate from the outside. As it is, someone can reach over and activate the motion alarm to open gate and get onto your property. Just a thought.
Oops, I see where you moved the sensor. Great job!
Hi there, that was quite interesting. Just a quick question... The sensor is situated at the gate itself. Is it possible that someone could stand at the gate and wave their hand over the sensor in order to gain access to the property? Or have you set up a routine between certain times only? Brilliant suggestion though, thank you.
That's what I was thinking too
The sensor is mounted with a tie strap, for sure it’s just for the sake of demonstration only of how you can use the sensor differently, otherwise it defeats the security. If it’s permanent, then yes, what is Todd thinking.
@@BenbenDesalapen Do you know of any device u can use to monitor your home from miles away? and trigger the alarm where necessary?
@@Genertrevia Yolink have lines of product exactly what you are looking for.
@@BenbenDesalapen how can u be contacted in detail? What is yo email address?
Is there anyway to add these into already existing ADT Home security or any of their products.
Not that I am aware of. You would have to purchase the Yolink hub and add the Yolink sensors and products to the hub and operate them independently from you ADT System.
Do you know what the sensor distance is? Not the quarter mile distance from the hub, but senor to person detection range. Thanks.
I'm getting about 20-25 feet sensor distance. -Todd
@@twHomeShow thank you
does this have video recording or is it just a motion sensor in the circle in the front of it ?
Hi Joshua, NO....that is just the motion sensor lens. But you can trigger it to show another camera on your Alexa Show devices. -Todd
@@twHomeShow ok thanks
@@twHomeShow ok thanks
Does any one use the IPhone or iPad app for YoLink if so is it good.?
Hello Todd Cecil, you should have things with your name on it. Thugs will find your house and upstairs reach over your gate and way their hand in front of your Yolink Gate Sensor.
Oh, your HOA gave you new gate motors. Did they reuse your hacked one on top of the small door's motor?
Hello Henry, I'm not sure I follow you. We did get the HOA to install new gate motors last year. But the wireless communications device did NOT render our remotes useless.....they still work wirelessly to control our gates. I hope this info helps. -Todd
@@twHomeShow Nevermind, I just watched the Pt.1 to this where you install the switchbot and you said when they put in the new motors, it messed up the old ewelink setup you had to control the gate.
@Henry YES....You got it now :) -Todd
Anyone tried to use Yolink indoor motion sensor for outdoors? I wonder if I place it under porch roof on the soffit, would it work year round? Thanks.
I would say that might not work long term due to moisture. But they do make the outdoor version
waw you sold it to me
How does this work with pets? Can it detect a fairly large K9?
Not sure. It would have to be tested. -Todd
Wouldn't a more simple way be to just turn the time delay knob potentiometer up a little bit more to give a longer time delay for gate closure?
Hi Mark, Yes, it would. But the HOA controls the gate company access of the gate housing. PLUS, I wanted it to work for us exiting, as well, while taking trash-out and going to get the mail....without having a fob. Thanks. -Todd
Yeah it sucks not having a key I do have a key for mine on about a 300 ft long driveway. I put the Yolink garage relay on gate open and timer close then I put a Yolink light control relay on too open the gate and leave it open until I turn it off. All done by Alexa or Yolink phone app. I'll have to check out your channel... Have a good one
if you recomend ..... why why we can se how the alerts goes to you phone??????????????????????????????
Reply
Can you add multiple sensors to one hub?
Yes. Many...
@@twHomeShow thanks!
great on the way to exit, but now you have circumvented the entry. someone can just lean over and wave their hand and open the gate? so much for security
Yep, I do it when I take the doggies out for a walk.....BUT who else would know? EXCEPT YOU!
NOW, I'll need you to upload a photo of yourself so I can have my cameras detect when you try this on my gate, so I can get a warning from my cameras that you are HERE! I want to make sure you feel WELCOMED when you arrive :) -Todd
What if I just come to your gate and wave my hand in front of the sensor which is attached to the gate and can be reached from outside the gate. Would be better if the sensor was outside of reach and view of the gate from the outside of fence.
You would be able to reach....PLUS, I relocated the sensor. I just used this placement as an example on my video 😃
@@twHomeShow awesome. I just ordered my Yolink system. I got the hub, 4 door sensors, water leak sensor, 2 motion sensors and a water shutoff device so I can shut off the water if a leak is detected while I'm gone. I'm excited to see how the system works
Nice! You went ALL-OUT. I can tell you, with all of the different smart sensors and devices I have installed in my home....YOLINK devices and sensors never disappoint me. I have even started replacing some of my other miscellaneous branded sensors and devices with the Yolink, just because of this. Good luck with your installs. -Todd
@@twHomeShow Yes. I just purchased a new home and will be renting out a couple rooms on Airbnb. When I'm gone I want to make sure I get notifications if someone goes into a room they aren't supposed to be in, when they arrive and leave etc. Does the system notify you if you're more than a quarter mile away? I've heard alot about the systems and they seem great just not sure how it all works yet. I'm excited to try it out. I'll be using one of the indoor motion sensors in my mailbox to let me know when the mail has arrived and outside motion sensor for my driveway.
Oh yeah, the Yolink hub will notify you of anything you want, anywhere you are around the world.
As long as the hub has an internet connection....so if it's in an Airbnb, maybe you might want the Yolink hub in a lock-box?? along with your router so no one tampers with it???
You might want to move the motion to the black box, so some smart kid doesn't figure out that all he has to do is reach in and activate the motion.
Hey Bill, you're probably right, But you might have missed this previous video 😀 th-cam.com/video/mwSCns8Awqw/w-d-xo.html
@@twHomeShow Your link is a fingerprint safe, which I had not seen before, thanks. As for installing the safe, my suggestion is to build something like furniture to hide inside. I doubt if those two anchors would be enough. But if they can't find it better.
You don't have to unlink the skills, say to alexa discover devices
Sometimes you do and that works 100% of the time. That's why I showed that method. But, you're correct....that should work most of the time 😀
pictures? videos about notifications??????
No power no WiFi no Yolink information sent to your phone on any of the many sensors .
