Introducon
The YoLink Contact Sensor is a wireless smart contact monitoring device, that can monitor the
opened or closed status of doors, windows and gates, as well as the status of relays and contact
closure outputs on non-smart devices and equipment [normally-closed, "dry" (no voltage)
co ntact clo sure or re lay typ e o utp uts, o nly]. Mon ito r t he ope ned /closed statu s o f
windows/doors/gates using the included aached magnec contacts or oponally connect the
sensor to exisng or new door/window contacts. The opened/closed status will be displayed on
the YoLink app, and the status may be used as a trigger for custom automaons (for example,
turn on a light when a door is opened), as well as to iniate smartphone alerts and noficaons
based on your preferences. Addionally, the Open Remind feature can alert you to a
door/window/gate or connected device le open for too long
* Addional applicaons and addional devices for use with the Contact Sensor include: dry-contact relays, non-smart door contacts, water leak
detectors, temperature and humidity sensors, tamper switches, lt alarms contacts swing type doors and gates, canlever gates, sliding doors and
gates, cabinet, refrigerator and freezer doors, drawers, storage boxes, safes, tool chests, gun safes/cabinets. For garage doors, consider one of our
garage door kits.
Door or window monitoring: with the magnet installed on the door or window (moving
part) and the reed switch installed on the frame (fixed part), with the door/window closed,
as the distance (gap) between the magnet and the reed switch is increased, the sensor will
indicate the door or window is now open. When the magnet is again adjacent to the reed
switch, the sensor will now indicate the door/window is closed
Contact closure monitoring: by removing the included magnec contacts and connecng the
cable to a contact closure type output, the sensor can monitor the open/closed status of
non-smart devices and equipment (normally, open status is warning, closed status is warning
removed or normal monitoring status, depends on the self-definion of non-smart devices
and equipment)

tablet that is Android 4 .4 or higher
Follow the steps below to set up your Contact Sensor via the YoLink app
Download YoLink app through Apple App Store or Google Play Store
Log in or create a new account if required
Download, and log
in to YoLink app

* Make sure your hub is connected to the
internet (green LED indicator is blinking,
blue LED indicator is always on)
Set up YoLink Hub

Installaon
The contact sensor, reed switch and magnet are very difficult to relocate aer being affixed to
the mounng surface. Test your contact sensor, reed switch and magnet locaon before affixing
the device to the surface. Use masking or painters tape to secure the contact sensor, reed switch
and magnet to the surface ( ). Once you have the contact sensor, align the magnet with reed switch
reed switch and magnet temporarily mounted, test it out. With the app in hand, open or close the
door while observing the status of the contact sensor as shown on the app (Opened or Closed).
Oponally, you may set up your automaon (e.g. turn on a light when the door is opened) to
funconally test the status change of the door or window - proceed to the following steps for
informaon on creang automaons, then return to this step
Be sure the installing gap between sensor and magnet is within 0.7 inch and the magnet is
aligned with the internal magnec reed switch when door or window is closed, otherwise the
sensor may cannot obtain the correct status of door or window
Avoid allowing the sensor to be exposed to strong impacts or vibraon, contact sensor should be
on the fixed part of door or window (such as the frame of a door or a window, etc.) , mounted
while magnet should be mounted on the movable part of door or window
Avoid interference, install the ontact sensor away from any strong magnec objectc
Test the Contact Sensor, Reed Switch and Magnet Locaon Before Installaon
Refer to “Install or Replace the Baeries” secon on page 26 for the installaon of baeries for
the contact sensor

About YoLink Control
YoLink Control is our unique device-to-device control technology. Using YoLink Control, YoLink
devices can be controlled without the Hub or an internet connecon. (Use of YoLink Control is
oponal; you can use the Automaon feature in the app OR use YoLink Control, but YoLink
Control offers the benefit of operaon without the Hub or internet connecon.)
One device controls another, directly. A device that sends out commands is called the controller. A
device that receives the commands is called the responder. Examples of a controller are a Contact
Sensor or Water Leak Sensor, while examples of a responder are a Siren or a YoLink Plug Mini
