Technical analysis of this kit confirms the implementation of LoRa (Long Range) technology on the 902-928 MHz frequency band. This specialized modulation provides a significant range advantage over standard mesh protocols, with open-air transmission metrics reaching 0.25 miles. The "Bulldog" valve controller utilized in this system is an external actuator capable of producing 10-12 Nm of torque, designed to actuate high-resistance manual valves.
Operational logic includes a "Device-to-Device" (D2D) pairing protocol, which enables local hardware communication between sensors and the valve controller. This ensure that automated mitigation occurs even in the absence of internet connectivity or hub-to-cloud communication. Material specifications for the sensors indicate a low-power design with an estimated 5-year battery life using standard AAA cells.
Schematic analysis reveals a custom PCB layout and Semtech LoRa transceiver that is technically distinct from common Tuya or Zigbee-based platforms.
Functional components include:
- Actuator: High-torque bracket-mounted motor.
- Hub: Proprietary LoRa gateway for cloud-to-local bridging.
- Sensors: Distributed moisture detection endpoints with LoRa radios.
The YoLink Protection System is recommended for large-scale properties where standard Wi-Fi signal penetration is insufficient for reliable infrastructure monitoring. Within its broader smart security kits classification, this system prioritizes long-range signal stability.
