Let me start by saying, the FlexFob 4-Button Smart Fob is a little powerhouse! I've been using it for a few weeks now, and it's completely changed how I interact with my smart home devices. The ability to trigger Alexa routines with just a press of a button is incredibly convenient.
The setup was straightforward, especially since I already had the YoLink Hub. Each of the four buttons can be configured for two different functions, giving you up to eight possible actions. I've got one button set to turn on my living room lights and another to start my morning routine – coffee maker on, news briefing playing – it's like magic!
The range is impressive. I can control devices from my backyard shed without any issues. The LoRa technology really delivers on its promise of long-range connectivity. Plus, knowing the battery could last up to five years is a huge relief – no constant battery changes!
However, there are a couple of drawbacks. The Alexa integration shows the FlexFob as a motion sensor rather than buttons, which is a bit odd and limits functionality (no long-press support). Also, if you have multiple homes in your Alexa setup, you'll run into limitations since only one home can connect with Alexa.
Despite these minor issues, the FlexFob has become an essential part of my smart home setup. It's reliable, responsive (seriously, no lag!), and versatile enough to control almost any Alexa-compatible device. Whether you're looking to simplify your routines or need emergency buttons for family members (like one reviewer uses for their elderly mom), this little gadget delivers.
Final verdict? If you're invested in the YoLink ecosystem or want physical buttons for your Alexa routines, the FlexFob is absolutely worth it. Just be aware of its limitations with Alexa's multi-home setup.
