These are really great. I wanted a temperature sensor for monitoring my fridges and freezers during power outages or when load shedding during peak demand periods, and these advertised the low temperature capability for that purpose. I have been impressed at how well they perform, and have purchased other Yolink products because of that (and those products have performed well too).

Looks like it regularly goes on sale for $49
So this "Prime Day Deal" is a little better, but not a lot

how does it work when the power is out?
Don't you need power though?

FYI, while Alexa integration is present, it's limited. Each thermometer sensor appears as a thermometer and four motion sensor devices. I haven't tested whether the motion sensor devices actually do anything. It reports the temperature but not humidity via Alexa, so I can ask Alexa what's the temperature in such and such room, it'll tell me. But, you may not use it to set up routines - so no alerts via Alexa.
Mine came quickly and does have great range, so I'll be keeping it. But I'll have to live with alerts coming through that Yolink app, email, and SMS rather than my Alexas.

And another FYI, during an outage the hub will go offline and the sensors do not store temp data. So if you plan to have this monitor your fridge/freezer when the power goes out - plan a backup for you cloud connection (modem-router + Yolink). Hope this helps someone.
