YoLink LoRa Outdoor Contact Sensor — Gate & Shed Sensor with Alerts (1/4 Mile Range)

Overview

Meet the YoLink LoRa Outdoor Contact Sensor, a versatile, wire‑free perimeter sensor designed for gates, sheds, and remote outbuildings along your property line. Built on LoRa technology, it communicates across distances up to a quarter mile, delivering timely alerts where wiring would be costly or impractical.

Long-range, wire-free monitoring

Attach the sensor to entry points like vehicle gates, pool gates, or fenced enclosures and rely on its self-powered design to stay alert even when power isn’t nearby. The two AA batteries provide robust standby life, typically extending years between replacements. Its weather‑tested housing stands up to sun, rain, and temperature changes, so you can trust coverage across seasons.

• No wires, no trenching, no electrician needed — install and forget.
• Weather‑resistant enclosure protects electronics in outdoor environments.
• Up to 1/4 mile LoRa range supports remote perimeters and outbuildings.

Smart notifications without ongoing fees

Choose how you want to be alerted. YoLink supports email, SMS, and push notifications, helping you stay informed whether you’re at home or on the go. The system is designed for flexible, self‑monitoring alerts with multiple channels to fit different contexts and schedules.

• Instant alerts when doors open or close, or when a sensor is triggered.
• Flexible notification methods help you stay connected without monthly service fees.

Automation-ready design

Beyond simple monitoring, this sensor can trigger other devices. You can snip the reed switch and connect the wires to relays, alarm panels, switches, or other smart devices to automate responses. If you’re deploying multiple sensors, you can pair two devices (for example, a sensor and a siren) to respond locally, without relying on Wi‑Fi or constant power.

• Device-to-device pairing enables localized response without internet access.
• Works with relays, alarm panels, and switches to create automated routines.

Wire-free setup and flexible placement

Because the unit is self-powered, you can place it wherever coverage is most effective—gates, shed doors, or remote buildings—without trenches or conduits. It’s designed for property owners who want reliable monitoring with minimal setup disruption.

What’s included and upgrade options

Two replaceable AA batteries are included, offering years of standby power. The system supports various hubs and accessories to expand your smart perimeter as your needs grow. The arrangement emphasizes freedom, reliability, and control, allowing you to explore possible benefits like enhanced situational awareness and automated responses—without overpromising results.

Note: For full automation and ecosystem compatibility (such as voice assistants), a compatible hub is typically required.
