YoLink is a smart home line from YoSmart Inc. built on LoRa, a long-range, low-power radio. It covers door, motion, leak and temperature sensors, valves, switches, sirens, locks and thermostats, all linked to a YoLink hub and managed from the YoLink app.

Every YoLink device talks over LoRa to a YoLink hub, which connects to the router by Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Most integrations, including Home Assistant's, go through YoLink's cloud. A separate Local Hub adds a local HTTP and MQTT API and, according to forum reports, a Matter option.
That suits large properties, outbuildings and basements where Wi-Fi or Zigbee sensors struggle, and people who want Home Assistant or their own scripts. It is weaker for voice control, since we could not confirm native Alexa, Google Home or Apple Home support, and the Matter route is described by users as unfinished.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| LoRa (proprietary radio) | Yes | Sensors and devices use LoRa to reach the hub. Semtech's brief says a single hub can cover a house or apartment building and its yard, that the leak detector is rated up to a quarter mile, and that devices keep communicating during an internet or power outage. | Semtech LoRa use case |
| Wi-Fi and Ethernet (hub) | Yes | The hub joins the router by wired or Wi-Fi connection per Semtech. Forum users report the Local Hub supports Ethernet or 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. | Semtech LoRa use case Home Assistant forum: Local Hub Matter guide |
| Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread | Not found | None of these appear on the YoLink pages we opened. | Searched, no source |
| Matter | Unconfirmed | Forum users describe the YoLink Local Hub exposing sensors over Matter, enabled in the hub's Integrations tab and needing firmware 606, and one Home Assistant user calls it half-baked. A Homey forum thread says the devices showed up as uncertified Matter devices that Homey refused, and relays secondhand that YoLink is not interested in certification. We found no YoLink announcement of Matter. | Home Assistant forum: Local Hub Matter guide Homey forum thread |

| Amazon Alexa | Unconfirmed | We searched for a YoLink Alexa skill and found no YoLink page. The one skill page we opened was SmartThings, not YoLink. | Searched, no source |
| Google Home | Unconfirmed | We found no native Google Home page. IFTTT lists a Google Assistant trigger that can activate a YoLink scene. | IFTTT YoLink and Google Assistant |

| IFTTT | Official | YoLink has an IFTTT service page with 10 triggers (including door, leak, motion, lock, temperature and smoke and CO events), 3 history queries and 10 actions (such as scenes, valves, outlets, switches, sirens and thermostats). Triggers are polled, hourly on the free plan. | IFTTT YoLink service |

| Home Assistant | Yes | Built-in YoLink integration since Home Assistant 2022.6, not maintained by YoLink. It is Cloud Push, tested with about 80 models, and connects outbound to YoLink's cloud MQTT on port 8003. Setup uses account linking through Nabu Casa or your own client ID and secret from YoLink. A community add-on by David Borenstein talks directly to the Local Hub instead. | Home Assistant YoLink integration Local Hub integration (community) |
| Homey | Community | A Homey store app by RockSoft Solutions covers sensors, plugs, switches, valves, sirens and more. It is cloud-based using the UUID and secret from the YoLink app, needs a YoLink hub, and lists Homey Bridge as required. It works on Homey Cloud, Homey Pro and Homey Self-Hosted Server. The store shows an Official badge, but the developer is not YoLink, and a forum thread describes the app as a community project in testing. | Homey YoLink app Homey forum thread |
| openHAB, Node-RED, Hubitat, Domoticz, Control4 | Unconfirmed | We did not search these specifically, so we could not confirm any YoLink support. A forum thread on Universal Devices appeared for the local API, which we did not open. | Searched, no source |
| Cloud Open API | Official | YoSmart publishes an MIT-licensed Python library for its cloud API. It handles device lists, state, commands and MQTT events, with US and EU endpoints, using OAuth2 credentials generated in the YoLink account settings. | YoSmart yolink-api |
| Local API | Official | Only available with the Local Hub. The hub serves HTTP on port 1080 and an MQTT broker on port 18080, with a client ID and secret created in the YoLink app. Devices can be sent requests and report events locally. | YoLink Local API docs |

Yes, through a community-built integration. A Homey store app by RockSoft Solutions covers sensors, plugs, switches, valves, sirens and more. It is cloud-based using the UUID and secret from the YoLink app, needs a YoLink hub, and lists Homey Bridge as required. It works on Homey Cloud, Homey Pro and Homey Self-Hosted Server.
