YoLink integration

Third party integrations
327

Right now, only your original/default home is supported by HA. We are looking into changing that but it’s a bigger request than you may think.

328

I get it, never enough.

I have been very happy with the YoLink sensors and have been using HA for a long time. This is a good marriage and once local control gets added I cant think of anything else I could want! :slight_smile:

I assume it’s 3d printed part? And what’s the yellow wire? And where is the unit itself stored/attached?

330

the yellow wire is going to a float switch. In lieu of the probe cable, you can put a float switch on the Water Leak Sensor 2 and 3. The probe cable is subject to build-ups of minerals, algae in a fishtank for example, which leads to false indications. A float switch is a better approach.

as far as I know, he has the sensors tie-wrapped to the underside of the cover

Hey folks,

I was able to successfully add the integration and get my entities for my sirens / temperature sensors added no problem (and they are reporting / functioning perfectly on my dashboard).

However, I am having some trouble setting up an automation to get the sirens to have an action. When selecting “action type” as Device and choosing the siren, Home Assistant reports that there are no actions available.

I find this a bit puzzling because I have an entity added to my dashboard that allows me to toggle this very siren (and it is working without a hitch).

Have you folks had any success with a YoLink indoor or outdoor siren as part of an integration? I am looking to set an alarm off if a door is opened within a certain time window.

Big thanks for Eric for his presence here, been following this thread for some time now.

@Sixyn, Did a test with my siren and found that it works best for me using call service NOT Device for the Siren itself. Worked like a charm!

My example below: Hope this helps.

  • id: ‘1654578022514’
    alias: Yolink Studio Door Opens Yolink Siren Goes Off!
    description: ‘’
    trigger:
    • type: opened
      platform: device
      device_id: 73555a93ad5d73f70b0867427391a94b
      entity_id: binary_sensor.studio_door
      domain: binary_sensor
      condition: []
      action:
    • service: siren.turn_on
      data: {}
      target:
      entity_id: siren.spare_siren_state
    • delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 4
      milliseconds: 0
    • service: siren.turn_off
      data: {}
      target:
      entity_id: siren.spare_siren_state
      mode: single

@Eric-YoLink do you happen to know if the “missing link” for the unsupported devices are simply due to not having been included in the python code in the Home Assistant integration, or are they also unsupported on the YoLink cloud side?

I just bought/added a bunch of stuff in the last 2 weeks which is mostly working GREAT but I overlooked the lack of current support for the YS6802-UC Outdoor Switched Outlets and the YS5706-UC Relay Module.

My fault for not checking the integration docs more closely, for sure, but now of course I’m faced with the decision to either fork the official integration and add support for those devices myself, or wait for it to be rolled into the prod release.

Obviously if the YoLink cloud API servers won’t allow control/monitoring of those SKUs then I’m forced to wait.

All in all I am a super happy YoLink/YoSmart customer and I am very impressed by you personally as the brand’s ambassador.

Thanks again Eric.

Thanks! I will give this a whirl when it’s not 2:16AM to give my family a heart attack. Lol

Will report back : )

335

what can I do when have more than one location on the same mobile app? thanks

336

@mnutis That was asked before in this thread and currently is not supported.

337

@Eric-YoLink I have updated to HA 2022.6.4, and the YoLink Vibration Sensors still do not appear.

Is this because the functionality is not yet included, or am I not doing something I need to do?

338

Disappointed Integration added, device (door sensor) added. Device status does not update. Stays at an open state even though it is not open. I was looking forward to using YoLink due to the range it provided. May have to return item and find a different solution.

339

It may take a minute to return to a closed state

340

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps? Not to downplay your frustrations but let’s not kid ourselves, this is DIY-market equipment and free open source software so a little bit of effort on the part of the end user is just part of the game. I’m a former Crestron and AMX programmer and I can tell you that if you want a true turnkey “it just works” solution installed by a factory dealer, they exist, but they will cost you an order of magnitude more, and are far more limited in their ability to be modified over time by the homeowner. Just my $0.02.

Ditto…I have a couple and all have performed flawlessly.

343

good to know. maybe I have a bad one. I’m still troubleshooting

344

removing the integration, a reboot, and adding integration again works. weird but hey it is working

Me too… hoping that it just hasn’t been pushed out yet and will be available in the next HA release

(For the vibration sensor)

Hi Eric, great job on the integration!! The power indicator is not exposed for the leak sensor, correct? Is there a way to show the % left?
