Love it! Works perfect!!

I used this device with the YoLink Hub to trigger the YoLink relay module. I had originally thought that I could use the remote by itself to trigger events in the YoLink hub. As it turns out, you need to have the remote paired with a relay module - then use the state of the relay module to trigger events in the hub. That wasn't a big deal, because I planned to use the relay module, but it's strange that you can't use the remote as a trigger by itself. At least that was my experience. Maybe there is a secret way to do it.The 1/4 mile range really needs to be taken with a grain of salt. In a home, I couldn't reliably get communication from one side of my house to the other. I had to place the hub in the center of the home to get communication to the perimeter of the house - and that wasn't always reliable. I use this device to sense when my back gates are open and trigger notifications in the house. It works most of the time, but there are times that I miss an event. This isn't very often and is livable. I wouldn't use it for anything mission critical.A big drawback of this product is that there are no repeaters and it doesn't appear you can use multiple hubs in coordination. I'd suggest that as a necessary component in the future.The scripting on the hub is OK for simple on/off operations, but could be improved for more complex logic.

Very convenient for manual control of two groups of lighting. To set up a group, one just pairs the remote to whatever lights you choose. Works without the hub but the hub is required initially for networking.
