YoLink Mini Plug, 1/4 Mile World's Longest Range Smart Home Plug Mini Outlet Compatible with Alexa Google Assistant IFTTT App Remote Control Home Appliances from Anywhere- YoLink Hub Required

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!

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.

Love Yolink products for my smart house. Devices respond quickly, are reliable and have a great range of response. I use this device in combination with other Yolink devices for my Sump Pump setup in my basement. These devices easily link with Home Assistant for a whole home automation solution.

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.

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)
