Smart Energy Plug 15A – 1/4 Mile LoRa Range, High-Power Devices with Cycle Schedule, Real-Time Energy Monitoring, Overload Protection, Alerts, Alexa, Google, IFTTT, HA, Hub Required YS6614

This YoLink Mini Plug is absolutely amazing for long-range smart home control! The 1/4 mile range claim isn't just marketing hype - this thing actually works from incredible distances that leave other smart plugs in the dust. I've tested it from various locations around my property and I'm blown away by the connectivity. Even from the far end of my yard, through multiple walls and obstacles, it maintains a solid connection. No more dead zones or frustrating dropouts like I experienced with WiFi-based plugs. Setup was surprisingly simple and the app interface is clean and responsive. I love being able to control outdoor equipment, garage tools, and remote appliances without worrying about signal strength. The build quality feels solid too - good weight and sturdy construction that inspires confidence for long-term use. The compact size doesn't block adjacent outlets, which is a nice design touch. For anyone with a large property, outbuildings, or just wanting reliable smart plug control without range anxiety, this YoLink Mini Plug is a game-changer. The world's longest range claim seems legit based on my real-world testing! Finally found a smart plug that actually works everywhere I need it to. Highly recommend!

So I'm a cybersecurity engineer, automating my personal systems. I have houses 700 miles apart, and I have a ridiculous level of automation because that's just how I roll. So much of the gear I use works great when I'm in the room, and fails the hour I leave for the other house. Wifi is a wonderful thing, when it works. The problem is it is easy to jam up wifi, AND so many of the IOT devices are based on 2.4ghz wifi that can be shut down by any baby monitors that use wifi frequencies but do not use wifi. A baby monitor /can/ shut down any 2.4ghz wifi within a half mile. So as a result I see tons of wifi failures in that 2.4ghz band. It's not just baby monitors, but those are a common example, there are many others. Yolink uses loran technology for communication, easily overcoming wifi failure modes. This is important to ME. Your mileage may vary. I have only two issues with yolink products. One is the speakerhub, it is wifi only, so it falls outside of my "sphere of reliability", I /really/ with it had an ethernet port. Speakerhub makes a noise when wifi goes up and down... I hear that noise a LOT. And it isn't my wifi router's fault, any properly operating wifi AP will fail to operate when blocked by a interfering signal, that is a required part of the wifi protocol, wifi that doesn't do this is actually illegal because it might be near a military radar installation. The second thing about YoLink is that sometimes I need polling cycles of short duration, so for example a temperature probe on an air conditioner will need to have fast polling cycles to capture the curves needed to check performance of the unit. The hour polling cycles are great for most things, but sometimes I need more frequent polling cycles, even if only temporary. I wish there was a way for me to buy extra polling cycles on a month to month basis, but I think that functionality is probably reserved to larger customers with larger operations. So the power of the yolink platform is that because it is not on your wifi, it can be used to repair and remediate issues with your wifi. In my redundancy setup, I have a hub on each of the ISP's feeding a site, so that if one ISP is down, I can reboot the router from the other ISP connection, from anywhere on the planet. And in the short time I have been doing this, I have used it to resolve issues with both ISP's, thereby avoiding 20 hours of driving. I have many brands of remote power modules, as well as temperature sensors, 4 brands of surveillance cameras, a cisco dual-wan router, hvac controls, and automations to manage some of my personal "infrastructure". YoLink has been the solution for many problems, and a joy to build ifttt automations for. It is clean and simple.

I was looking for a programable timer that could go in seconds for my automated pet feeder. I couldn't find any stand alone plugs that went to 1s. I took a chance on this since I already had the hub from using YoLinks water alarms. It works perfect and can be programed in seconds! Bonus is it's connected so I can give an extra feeding if I'm not home.

I'm a big fan of Yolink products and have many of them throughout my house - a water shut-off valve, leak detectors, temp sensors, and an alarm system comprised of Yolink contact sensors and alarm sirens. These outlets were an addition to the alarm system where they switched on when the alarm triggered and powered a large outdoor siren, and also as part of the temp sensor system where they kicked on fans if temperatures hit a maximum in my garage and attic, then kicked off as temperatures cooled down. In those roles they have worked flawlessly, without the need of Internet connectivity. Like every other Yolink product I have, it's well made and feels solid in the hand, and not like some cheap piece of plastic that will break if you dropped it. A Yolink hub is required to get any of it to work, but they practically give those away with their bundled items. Integrating it all with Alexa was painless. The Yolink app can be somewhat confusing, but once you figure out the mechanics of what it's doing it gets easier to work with. Overall it's just another good quality Yolink product. Perhaps more expensive than others, but worth it.

After many hours of research, decided to go with the YoLink product line. Purchased the hub, water sensors, water valve controller, couple of the outlet controls, motion sensor, and a door sensor (which by the way works fantastic for the garage door eliminating the question 5 minutes after leaving home, did we close the garage door?) The outlet controller is great, scan the QR code which will connect it to your hub, plug it in and done. You can control the plug from your phone. The Yolink app is easy to use, controls everything on the system with a lot of different options. Sends alerts to your email or via text message. The best part, the app is FREE, no subscription costs. Adding equipment is a breeze, just scan the QR code on the device and it connects wireless to the hub.

I’ve used Yolink for 3 years. Great range. I use them for garden lights, fountains and all around the house with Alexa. They also work with Home Assistant. It’s really nice to be able to use Alexa & HA at the same time. They aren’t bound to one ecosystem or the other solely like other companies.

No issues. Simple setup. Note that you must plug this in to get it online. Plug it on, turn it on (blue light) and then bind it to the app. It will not show as online in the binding screen unless you plug it in before binding. I would consider this a *light duty* switch regardless of the 10A rating. It's just too small to have a powerful relay imo. I will use these to turn off power to my 3D printers remotely as they only draw around 3A. You could also use this in conjunction with any other sensor to control equipment using the app....like a temperature sensor to kill power to your furnace if the house temp starts going crazy (I know 2 people this happened to....scary af). If required, you could use this to control a higher current relay with a 120Vac coil if needed.

I ordered 3 of these smart plugs (on sale) @ Amazon (The delivery 📦 was fast) , these weren’t my first YoLink devices and they need also the required YoLink hub. The 10 amp is sufficient for most small appliances ! however I wouldn’t personally use them for any kind of heating application ! a nice addition to my “smart collection of YoLink devices” the connectivity is great and set up with the QR code is easy I ordered 3 more of them and I recommended them and they are backed with a great customer (in person) service !

Works perfect. App is very friendly. Have many of their products.

Works perfectly.. used with the phone and it’s programmed to turn on and off at certain times. ( also bought a remote for it incase my phone isn’t around and my wife wants to control it manually)

The performance was good but not as good as other yolink products. I am not sure why but the signal strength goes from low to very strong at random times. Even though the unit is always in the same place. Approximately fifty feet from the base station. I've never had any problems with yolk products except this one is baffling me.
