3.4. 초기 테스트

After setting up each sensor, it is recommended to perform an initial test:

• Place a small amount of water (e.g., a damp paper towel) on the two metal prongs located on the bottom of the Leak Sensor 4.
• The sensor should emit a 105 dB audible alarm, and you should receive an alert notification on your YoLink App, email, and/or SMS/text message.
• Remove the water to silence the alarm.

4.1. 센서 배치

Strategically place your Leak Sensor 4 units in areas prone to water leaks, such as:

• 싱크대 아래 (주방, 욕실)
• 온수기 근처
• 화장실 뒤편
• 세탁기나 식기세척기 근처
• 지하실이나 다용도실
• 제빙기가 있는 냉장고 근처

Ensure the metal prongs on the bottom of the sensor are in direct contact with the surface where water might accumulate. The sensor can also detect drips from above if water collects on its top surface.

4.2. Alert System

Upon detecting water, the Leak Sensor 4 will:

• Activate its built-in 105 dB audible siren for immediate local notification.
• Send instant notifications to your YoLink App.
• Send email and/or SMS/text alerts to your registered contacts.

4.3. LoRa Long-Range Technology

YoLink devices utilize LoRa technology, providing extended communication range (up to 1/4-mile open air) and reliable signal penetration through walls and floors, even in large homes or multi-story buildings. This ensures consistent connectivity where standard Wi-Fi might struggle.

4.4. Device-to-Device (D2D) Communication

YoLink's D2D technology allows sensors to communicate directly with other YoLink devices, such as sirens or automatic shut-off valves, even if your internet or power is out. This provides an essential layer of local protection during outag에스.
