Yes, same motion sensor I am playing around with to trigger my outdoor light on shop.
Never knew about that sms text feature Lucas. Would be handy for more critical things as I don't often check email. Actually not on the ball checking messages either but for a more important function like knowing if my basement sump is filling up then a text message will likely get my attention quicker. Although yolink does trigger a notification icon on the top area of my devices so that alone should motivate me to take another step and open email folder to see exactly what flagged the notification.

You might even be able to get away with it emailing you AND texting you within the same command just by adding a comma between the two 'email' addresses. Worth a shot so you have 100 messages on your email and text to delete after an episode LOL

Yes that is part of the problem. My system for example I have setup to trigger an email every 60 minutes (time frame is user set) on a low temperature condition. The temperature trend can generally tell me if temp will recover so I don't need text messages for that situation. What I need is a two level warning system. Level 1 is email to say something is not right and level 2 could be text and/or other action because things have gotten worse. It could be done with two sensors and each one set at a different alarm threshold and action on alarm but that is another story.

Put a yolink system in our curling rink this week. It's community run by volunteers which means it is 3 to 5 of us looking after things and doing the ice and such. We have had an issue in past years when it gets really cold the compressors shut off and brine pump trips off and so ice starts melting. Put temperature sensors on the piping off each compressor to the radiators outside and a sensor on the brine supply and return line. Have temperature limits set to email us if something gets out of line. The interesting thing is how easy it is to get others setup to read the same data. They download the app, then we use a mobile device running the curling rink system and press "invite" which brings up a qr code that the new user scans (qr code read built into yolink app) and in 5 seconds they have the full configured setup and are reading the temperatures the same as the other guys.
For me, I run yolink for the farm and now curling rink. I can toggle between either on in a couple of seconds.
Overall pretty happy with this. I wasn't sure how it would work with multiple users but very impressed at this time. $260 worth of hardware with 4 temperature sensors and an hour of time to set up the rink for some peace of mind.
