YoLink Smart Power Fail Alarm & Hub Kit, Smart Home Starter Kit with AC Power Outage Alert, LoRa Long-Range, Remote Monitoring, App Alerts, Text/SMS, Email Alerts, IFTTT

In case anyone wants to silence the siren on this like I did, peel off the 4 little rubber feet, unscrew the 4 hidden screws, pull the top and bottom apart, and then just snip the red and black wires going to the siren. Put it all back together and voila, you have a silent power outage detector. If you ever want to un-silence the siren, you can solder the wires back onto the board. While this workaround is quite simple, I don't understand why YoLink, as well as most of the other brands I've researched, don't include an easy option to silence the siren on these power outage detectors. I don't want to bother my neighbors with a loud siren. I just want to receive alerts if the power goes out. The best you can do without taking the thing apart is to set the siren to the shortest time possible: 10 seconds. Bafflingly, the app does have an option labeled "mute," but I have no idea what the mute option does--it certainly does not mute the siren. Aside from this, the detector work as described. Hopefully it will hold up better than my old one (MySpool, which did have a silent siren option but also began sending me multiple false alarms on a daily basis after a few months).

We now have several Yolink devices. This power failure alarm/alert and several water leak detection devices. We use 2 hubs in two different buildings. I installed the power failure alarm as we have, in the past, had power failures during the late night and have slept several hours while everything was shut down. I don't like this. If the power goes off I want to know that some of our systems (internet, lights, freezers, refrigerator, AC/Heat) are down and also take some precaution for electrical surges when the power comes back up. We have had this device for a few months and during that time lost power and had the loud audible alarm wake us up and send us messages regarding the outage. (without power we get "offline" indications) Provides peace of mind. I like the devices we have used so far from Yolink. They seem to have good quality and function just as they are advertised.

This device does not integrate with either Google Home or IFTTT. It can only notify you via the app notifications, email or SMS. Unlimited notifications require a subscription. Unfortunately, email is restricted to the account email address so you can’t use IFTTT email triggers either. I’m giving it one star for claims to the contrary and wasting my time and energy.

I bought this for a companion to home assistant and my diesel generator setup, I paired this with a dry contact yolink product and boom automation. its quick and efficient and you cannot beat the range of this product. So far it has been thriving in a grey box outside next to my power meter for 3 years

Works well in the Yolink ecosystem - I have a separate solar supply to the garage, operating two freezers. This unit signals to me, via speaker-hub voice commands, if there is a power failure. The only drawback is I'm unable to silence the alarm. The slider switch on the side of the unit has three alarm loudness levels, and an "off" position. The "off" actually turns the power off to the unit, registering as off-line on the app. I ended up putting it in a plastic box to quieten it down a bit.

Easy to install and functions as designed. Could be a bit louder for my hearing, however my wife can easily hear it and says its annoying to her. Mission accomplished, she quickly alerts me so I can start backup generator!

I use this for my garage freezer outlet. Well this alarm is essential for monitoring that outlet. The most valuable feature is that it sends a text alert to your phone and email. I could be on the other side of the house and not hear the audible alarm in my garage but I’m not going to miss the text, since I always have my phone with me. Since I purchased this we had a big storm and the outlet was tripped and I was immediately alerted by the text and went out to the garage and reset the outlet breaker. This is well worth the price and has already paid for itself. Wish I could give it ten stars!

If you wanted something to wake you up when the power goes out, this will likely do the job if you're in the same room, and maybe even if you're not. Have tested it quite a few times and a few of those were unintended. Notifications seem reliable. As for the hub you'll need one to use the YoLink ecosystem. That seems to work reliably as well but I haven't put it through its paces a lot just yet. No worries so far.

Easy to setup and works great. When there is a power outage on the circuit that my refrigerator is on, I get an email and text message. And another when the power is restored. Note: it is important to have your WiFi router and hub on a UPS.

I recently purchased this smart device that is supposed to alert you if the power is switched off in your home or office. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing. The device requires a separate hub to connect to the internet, which they also sell. However, the hub does not have a backup battery installed. This design flaw is critical. When the power goes out, the hub loses power too, severing its internet connection and rendering it unable to notify you of the power loss. This defeats the entire purpose of the device! It is utterly counterproductive and makes no sense at all. How can a power loss alert system fail to consider that it needs to stay powered to send an alert? This oversight makes the device completely unreliable and a waste of money. I'm returning it and find it unbelievable that the manufacturer didn't consider such a basic and logical approach to the technology. Without a backup battery for the hub, the device fails to perform its primary function. Save your money and avoid this product.

きちんとしたパッケージに入ったちゃんとした商品(製品)です。その点、怪しい中華メーカー製の家電とは違います。 停電になった場合に、自動的に瞬時に自分のケータイへ、アプリとメールとSMSで三重に通知されますので、安心です。 なお、販売サイトの説明では、インターネットのハブに直接有線で接続するので信頼性のアドバンテージが高いみたいなことが書かれていましたが、本体の説明書を見るとWi-Fi接続も可能であるようです。 ですが、自分は有線接続するだけにしておきました。繋ぐだけですから非常に簡単です。 なお、説明書にも書かれていましたが、このYoLinkハブとインターネットのハブ(正確に言うとルータも)は、無停電装置(UPS)の電源に繋ぐ必要がありますので注意してください。(でないと、停電時にインターネットのハブやルータが落ちてしまうと、警報を発しようにもネットが使えないという状況になるのは自明ですから、必然的にUPSが必要です。)。 説明書は全て英語ですが、高校レベルの英語力があれば読解に問題はありません。わからなければ翻訳アプリを使えば良いだけです。 専用アプリをインストールして、説明書どおりハブとアラームを接続して登録すればOKで、設定は直感的にでき、比較的簡単です。 停電時に自動的にSMSを送る設定がちょっと難しかったです。停電アラームの設定からではなく、アプリのホームの設定画面から電話番号を登録しておかないと、SMS送信の選択肢がONになりません。また、電話番号の入力も、国の選択肢の中に日本国旗が出てこないので混乱しますが、普通に国際電話をかける時の番号を入力すれば大丈夫です。 ただSMSの送信はコストがかかるとのことで、1ヶ月に15通が限界です。 また、メールの数にもSMSほどではないにせよ限度があるようです。 クラウドのサーバはアメリカにあるようですから、中国や韓国にあるよりマシで安心だと思います。 停電アラーム以外にもいろんな種類のアラームを扱っている大手メーカーであるようですから、その点でも安心感が違いますし、ハブさえあれば他の用途でセンサーを追加することもできるのは面白いでしょう。 急な停電で困ることはあるのに、何で日本国内では似たような商品が無いのでしょう。 自分はこの商品に巡り会えて幸いでした。 補足ですが、停電アラームの電源は普通の乾電池である点もメンテナンスしやすくて高評価です。 なお、アメリカからの輸入品になるようですので、本来付帯している1年のメーカー保証は無効みたいです。 マーケットプレイスでは、信頼のおけそうな販売店さんから買うべきと思いました。
