FlexFob 4-Button Fob for YoLink Smart Home, 8 Programmable Functions, System Control & Trigger IFTTT Applets

Remote beeps upon successful communication to serve as confirmation of execution. I use this for the Bulldog valve to turn on/off my outside water. Button presses are distinctive and the remote just works consistently everytime! In conjunction with my hub, I also get a notification that the valve was opened or closed on my Garmin smart watch. Love this!

I preferred the older design because the button layout is better and it was less bulky. It is good that this new version uses 2 AAA batteries but the batteries last years anyway so changing the watch batteries on the old design wasn't an issue. I still prefer the old version and I can't find it anywhere.

Yolink has exceeded all expectations! I'm using Home Assistant with multiple integrations including Aqara, Bluetooth, Broadlink, Lifx, Tuya (local and cloud), ZigBee and z-wave. Yolink has been by far the easiest most reliable devices in the system. I would like to have local control and an expanded product line (in-wall dimmers, sockets, multi-sensors etc.) but at this level of quality and service no on else has come close!

I receivied and set this up today and as of right now its works great. Setup was easy les than 20min, but remember you need a yolink hub.Overall the uses you could put this device to are limited only by the alexa controlled devices you have in your home.I was able to atatch buttons 1&2 to turn various lights on and off. I set up button 3 to a sceen that turns on my Tv and Xbox on and button 4 to a party mode that starts playing music on all my alexa devices.

The TL;DR: THE Yolink FlexFob DOES WORK TO TRIGGER ALEXA ROUTINES!!! It's not completely straightforward, but a little due diligence goes a very long way.The long version:After fighting with a couple of other products to try and get them to trigger Alexa Routines, I decided to give this on a try. I wish I had bought it first. The sign up and linking of the Yolink Hub and Flex Fob was effortless. Once that was done the Yolink devices needed to be linked to Alexa by enabling a skill. Once that is done, the four buttons on the Flex Fob show up as individual devices in the Alexa app devices list. My screenshots show them as the default names, but they can be named whatever you want during the setup within the Yolink app. Just be sure to keep track of the names. When you tap on each of the new devices it shows up as a motion detector with no motion detected. Tap on "create a routine" and choose one of your routines that you already have set up or create a new one. In the device action menu select the radio button next to "detected". Then in the screen to edit the routine make sure the correct device is in the "when" category and add your action in the "Alexa will" category. In my case, it's a verbal command that I usually say to Alexa when I want to turn on my entertainment devices. All of those items are in a group I named "Entertainment" and include a Vizio TV controlled with the Vizio Mobile app, a Yamaha receiver controlled with Yamaha's AV Controller app, a second monitor controlled with a Kasa smart plug with the Kasa app, 2 RGB controllers from the Magic Home app, and a black light powered by an APC surge protector and through the APC Home app. It does take 2 of the Flex Fob buttons to be able to toggle the entire routine on and off, BUT IT DOES WORK. It works so flawlessly that I ordered 2 more Yolink Flex Fobs to use for more Alexa routines and other Yolink devices. I'm pretty sure the screenshots I uploaded do not correspond to the order of how things need to be done, but they do highlight what needs to be tapped.All that being said, these are great products and are very reliable. I haven't had a single issue with connectivity or functionality after getting them set up the way I wanted. They do everything that they advertise they can do. The Yolink app is intuitive and I haven't had any issues with it on Android 12. I really hope that Yolink continues to make new products for this eco-system. In my 7ish years of using Smart Home products, Yolink has been the most reliable, by far.
