YoLink Garage Door Controller & Wireless Sensor — Long-Range Hub-Required Kit

Upgrade your garage with a smarter, safer setup

Meet the YoLink Garage Door Controller and Wireless Sensor, a compact, battery powered upgrade for existing openers. Built on LoRa technology, it delivers the industry’s longest receiving range—approximately 1/4 mile—helping you stay connected even where Wi Fi is weak. Install in minutes, monitor from anywhere, and unlock a new level of awareness about your garage and its access points.

What it does and how it fits your space

The kit is designed to work with most door openers manufactured after 1993 that use photoelectric sensors. Before you buy, verify compatibility in your opener’s documentation. The system adds remote monitoring and control without replacing the opener itself, transforming a familiar setup into a connected, responsive space.

• Universal upgrade for many older openers after 1993 with photoelectric sensors
• Simple, non-invasive addition to enable remote control and status checks

Power that lasts and fits your lifestyle

Low power consumption means fewer battery changes and more dependable operation. With standard AAA alkaline batteries, you can expect long intervals between replacements, depending on how you use the system and how often the door moves.

• Long battery life suitable for busy or remote locations
• Does not require lithium batteries; uses common AAA cells

Stay informed with flexible alerts

Real-time updates arrive as smartphone banner alerts, with optional SMS messages and emails, all configurable to your needs. Note: the sensor itself does not sound an alarm; for audible feedback, consider pairing with our Siren Alarm.

• Smartphone banner alerts keep you in the loop at a glance
• Optional SMS and email notifications offer additional reach

If you want audible feedback, you can add the Siren Alarm for a separate sound cue. These notifications empower you to respond promptly if something changes with your garage door status.

Hub required for full functionality

YoLink devices connect through the YoLink Hub, which links to the internet and the cloud. Without the hub, the kit won’t connect to the YoLink app or support integrations with Alexa, Google Home, or IFTTT. The hub acts as the bridge to remote access and automations.

Real-world scenarios you might enjoy

Imagine pulling into a driveway and opening the door from your phone, or monitoring a detached garage or shed from a distance. The long-range capability helps you stay informed without constant manual checks, improving convenience and peace of mind.

Quick setup and ongoing care

Install the sensor near the door, pair with the hub, and you’re ready to go. Placement and usage habits influence coverage, so you can fine tune the setup to fit your property and daily routines.
