I’ve deployed two of these units, one in my residence and another in a detached barn. Being on a private well, monitoring water usage is critical, and pairing these with leak sensors adds an extra layer of automation and protection.
Integration with Home Assistant is straightforward, and the YoLink ecosystem’s use of LoRa (Long Range Radio) provides a significant advantage over Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, and Zigbee. LoRa’s sub-GHz frequencies offer far greater coverage and penetration through walls and structures, making it well-suited for larger properties and outbuildings where traditional protocols struggle.
Battery performance in YoLink sensors is also exceptional—measured in years rather than months—outperforming every competing product I’ve tested. This is especially valuable for distributed deployments where frequent battery replacement is impractical.
A key differentiator is YoLink’s ability to function in offline mode; core automations can continue to operate without internet access, enhancing resilience for critical use cases.
Overall, YoLink has proven to be a highly reliable, low-maintenance solution for smart home and property automation. For environments that demand long-range connectivity, low power consumption, and dependable offline functionality, YoLink consistently stands out.

I already have a YoLink shut off device installed on my main house line, and a separate smart water meter device, but if this new Flowsmart device had been available I could just have used this all in one device! Anyway, I bought this one to install on the line that feeds my swimming pool. Now, not only do I know exactly how much water my pool consumes, I can control that from the mobile app.
One of the reasons I got into YoLink was that their devices don't rely on wifi, instead they use LoRa, a long range and low power protocol that means that the battery consumption is miniscule, and you their devices will work all over your house and yard, where wifi typically has black spots. Yes, you do need a YoLink hub but you only need one of those, and then you can connect as many YoLink devices as you need.
I'm up at 42 different YoLink devices now. I hope that tells you how good their products are and how happy I am with them. Most of those are leak detectors, all over my house, under sinks and behind toilets. Yes, this exactly cheap, but the damage and disruption and expense of a water leak in your home can cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage. I've spent less than my insurance excess and it's money well spent for peace of mind.
Anyway, the Flowsmart is the typical, high quality hardware that you expect from YoLink, and in their mobile app you have a million different ways to control the device. You can set schedules, countdown timers, set alerts on consumption or duration, and of course pair it up with leak detectors to automate shut off in the event of any water leak being detected.
Really the only downside of this device is you need to do some plumbing to install it. In my case I connected it to a PVC line outside, but I could have hired a plumber. Depending on how your pipes are configured it's no more than 1 or 2 hours work. If DIY or hiring a pro is not something you want to do, YoLink has other shut off devices that can be installed by anyone in about 20 minutes with no plumbing required. The thing that you won't get with those though is they don't include water meter capability.
I mentioned that I already had a separate water metering device, so I compared the usage recorded from the Flowsmart to the usage recorded on the whole house meter and the numbers were very close, just 1% to 2% difference between them.
The fact you get both a shut off device, and a water meter all in one for around $250 is incredible. I happily recommend YoLink products without hesitation.
