- Your Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensor connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (Speaker Hub or the original YoLink Hub), and it does not connect directly to your WIFI or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a hub is required. This guide assumes the YoLink app has been installed on your smartphone, and a YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network).
- Your Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensor has lithium batteries pre-installed. Please note, at very low temperatures, the battery level may be indicated in the app as lower than it actually is. This is a characteristic of lithium batteries.

A popular use for this sensor is in fridges, freezers and other refrigerated environments. The sensor can be placed on a flat surface or it can be hung up. 3M brand “Command” hooks, as well as mounting tape and adhesive-backed Velcro have been used to secure our sensors to the interior walls or vertical surfaces within refrigerators and freezers.

Location & Mounting Considerations
The Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensor is designed to be easy to
install, and portable, but before installing the sensor, the following items
should be considered
- While the Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensor is designed for outdoor use, do not use the sensor outside of the environmental temperature range, per the product specifications (refer to the product’s support page).
- Do not allow the sensor to be submerged in water.
- Do not use the sensor near sources of extreme hot or cold, as this can affect accurate ambient temperature and/or humidity readings, and in some cases may damage the sensor.
- Do not obstruct the openings on the sensors. As with most electronic devices, even if intended for outdoor use, the useful life of the device can be extended if it is protected from the elements. Direct intense sunlight, rain and snow over an extended period can discolor or damage the device. Consider placing the
- sensor where it has overhead cover and/or protection from the elements.
- Place the sensor where it will be out of reach of children.
- Place the sensor where it will not be subjected to tampering or physical damage. As the mounting height should not affect the readings of the sensor, consider mounting the sensor above than where it may be subjected to physical impact, theft or tampering.
Install the Sensor
If you are hanging the sensor from a wall or other surface, provide a stable
hook, nail, screw or other similar mounting method, and hang the mounting loop
on it.
Due to the light weight of the sensor, strong winds may knock it off a hook,
nail or screw, etc. Consider the mounting method and/or secure it with tie
wraps/zip ties or other similar method to protect the sensor from falling off
the wall or surface.
About Sensor Refresh Rates
- To provide the long battery life typical of YoLink sensors, your Weatherproof Temperature & Humidity Sensor does not transmit readings in real time, but instead transmits, or refreshes, only when certain criteria have been met:
- Your high or low temperature or humidity alert level has been reached
- The sensor has returned to a normal, non-alert, range
- At least a .9°F (0.5°C) change over a period longer than 1 minute
- At least 3.6°F (2°C) change within 1 minute
- At least 10% humidity change over a period longer than 1 minute
- The SET button has been pressed
- Otherwise, once per hour
