YoLink LoRa Smart Outdoor Motion Sensor Starter Kit, Driveway Alert, Property Invasion/Tresspassing Detector, Email/SMS/Push Alerts, Alexa, IFTTT, Home Assistant: Includes (1) Sensor, (1) SpeakerHub

I have been looking for a replacement for my existing unit (HTZSafe solar driveway alarm) which I have had for 4 years and has worked well but eventually experienced water ingress which caused it to fail. I looked at replacing the rechargeable batteries but the internal screws were corroded and so decided to buy a new one.The app for this device has a load of functionality which looks great. Still trying to work out their operational concepts relating to behavior, scenarios and scenes but I expect it will be more than adequate.The email and SMS reporting are excellent and missing from my previous model which immediately lets me know when someone has entered our property when we are away and I can check the cameras. This looks excellent so far with tons of ability to expand the sensors and alerting and integration with IFTTT should provide everything I need. So far so good and more than happy.

I am very pleased I bought it. Amazing. Highly recommend.

My home has way too many automation systems (Alexa, Ecobee, Hue, Bond, Smartthings). So adding another one was not high on my list BUT not only does this system have motion detection but they have contact sensors too, and long range.This system was a breeze to setup and the speaker allows such quick and easy verification of functions. The app is smooth too. And the contact sensor is currently working as a mailbox notifier, from inside the metal box which is the mailbox! Awesome system, wish I'd found it ages ago.

Pros:- App control and hub integration for convenient monitoring.- Impressive customization options for a smart experience.Cons:- Challenging setup process.- Limited motion detection range; effective only within 5 meters.- Falls short of advertised distance in real-world usage.Summary:While the Outdoor Motion Sensor offers app control and extensive customization, its setup complexity and disappointing motion detection range, far from the advertised distance, left me dissatisfied. Returned the product due to unreliable performance outside the 5-meter range. Potential for improvement with future updates.

I was looking for a way to be notified when someone comes up my driveway because my ring camera doesn’t always alert me by the time they get to the top of my driveway.So initially I purchased a popular owl driveway alarm which did work well. But it wasn’t smart. I wanted something that would not only alert me via a speaker, I also wanted on alerts on devices I always carry with me like my smartphone or Apple Watch.Fortunately this device fits the bill. If you want a driveway alarm that is reliable and is also smart, you should purchase this.PROS- Get alerts from the speaker hub, email, smart phone app notifications and sms.- easy to set up. It took more time to screw the thing to a tree then to actually pair it to the app.- Water and weather Resistant. There is a nice rubber seal on the inside to prevent water from getting in.- Works from far away. I have mine at the end of my driveway which is about 100-200 feet away and the signal is strong.- Very little delay from when a car or person passes through the sensor to the alert that is sent to the speaker hub and your smart phone.- The app is very flexible in terms of set up and the type of alerts you can get.- You can have the speaker hub say exactly what you type or upload your own Audio.CONS- I feel like I’ve had a few false alerts. But it may be because it’s an animal running by that triggers it which I can’t see.- Speaking of can’t see, I wish this had a camera attached to it. It would be a killer combo.I’ve been using a lot of the YoLink products because they are so easy to set up and work really well. Even if you lose WiFi these devices are set up to still work which I love. I wish YoLink made more smart home products because I would buy them all.
