Yea it seems that someone were too optimistic. I think that the interest in the product from Yolink is quite limited
@mejran I would love to take an attempt using your hack. My hope is to use the YoLink Key Fob to activate scripts within HA.
Iāll second that! I always had a hunch that the key to unlocking all of the YoLink devices in HA was hiding in the client-side integration code, but I never got curious enough to invest the time sniffing API calls to figure out how to extend the integration to include additional devices. Great work! I would love to see what you did.

Wow, that is very different from what was originally said. I purchased the current hub and a few devices for a specific use case. But Iām not heavily invested into the YoLink ecosystem yet. I have ideas of other devices that I would want to purchase, but Iām going to sit tight until the local hub is available. Iāve been burned before by purchasing products based on a companyās promises - which never materialized.
Another vote for Yolink integration of YS-6802 UC outdoor dual outlet. I purchased it without checking and now cannot integrate it into HA 
It will probably be just a matter of time - it took them aong time but they made a big effort to make their integration work with all of their products
Eric hasnāt chimed in for awhile so doesnāt seem promisingā¦
Seems that he is not involved anymore. I have always had doubt about local control. Yolink have no interest in it.

As stated earlierā¦ Eric left us. He has a new positionā¦
My last email from himā¦
Hello! Eric with YoSmart, here! I am sending this to you because survey questions you previously answered indicated this might be of interest to you:
We are pleased to announce the release of Raedius Web Console 2.0!
Raedius is a web-based dashboard to manage and monitor your YoLink systems, be they 100 or 100,000 in device-count size. Raedius was initially developed to support the application of our entire-building water leak detection and automatic water shut-off products in large apartment and condominium buildings or complexes. The new version 2.0 adds greater flexibility for other applications and projects of all sizes and scopes. Do you have 5000 water leak sensors in one building, or thermostats in 5000 buildings to manage? Raedius is the answer.
Click below to visit the Raedius Web Console page on our website, and view or download the brochure.***
I am the product manager for Raedius. If you have any questions, if you would like a quotation, just let me know!
Eric
Keeping my fingers crossed. Had a good email exchange with yolink support. They have submitted updates for dimmer and next will be the outdoor socket. So hopefully not too much waiting. Was impressed they responded and committed to adding
Iām currently running 13 Leak sensors, 1 door sensor, 1 std hub, 2 voice hubs, 4 temp humidity sensor, 1 temp sensor in a hot tub, 1 flexfob (awaiting integration) and a few others - more than willing to help test.
Is this integration supposed to work with a YS7704-EC Door Sensor (UK Version).
I can connect my YoLink Account to HA and the Door Sensor shows up, but the Sensor Entities stay āUnavailable/Unknownā:
The Sensor History in the YoLink App shows everything correctly.
What are you using for level monitoring here? And is it a 3d printed mount? Looks great
Exactly why I donāt buy things based on āpromisedā future features. Disappointing though. The product lineup had an outdoor door and motion sensors I really wanted, but I 100% refuse to rely on cloud products.

I canāt see what interest Yolink basin a local hub. They donāt want to lose the end user input, what should they gain
proprietary??? Boooo. I know this is an older thread but do you have plans to move to local and Matter or something standard and open? All of this cloud dependency is bad. Especially for a security system. Want to disable someones alarm?? Unplug their internet jack at the street or exterior home connection. That is far from secure. Yes, I know how to build a cell backup, but 99% wonāt figure that out, or wonāt do it.
As much as I am a huge fan of non-proprietary, open standards-based systems, the secret ingredient in YoLinkās special sauce that yields the insane range and low power consumption is the LoRa chip it uses.
LoRa itself does not belong to YoLink, but rather to a chip manufacturer called Semtech. Iām not a LoRa expert (bought a few dev boards and have made a few basic peer-to-peer gadgets using the arduino framework; nothing too close to the actual bare metal or the RF protocol itself) so Iām not sure where LoRa ends and YoLink begins in their implementation.
Is anyone here familiar enough with LoRa to be able to comment on if it would be possible to build a LoRa āhubā to replace the for-now-and-maybe-forever-cloud-dependent YoLink hub, letting us buy and use YoLink endpoints (sensors, plugs, etc) without their hubs? Or, even better perhaps, reflash the YoLink hub with open source firmware?
Curious if anyone has put any effort into this. Cheers and happy new year!
