I am getting YoLink for two reasons

1. Outdoor motion sensor looks good

2. The Water Level Filter with float

First should I get the YoLink or the YoLink Local.

Second, are those two devices supported (getting a speakerHub from them too)

Goals----

1. Replace an oudoor (in waterproof case) Insteon Motion Sensor that is flaky.

2. Right now I use another nodeserver called LinkTap (Jimbo I think did it) to control valves. I use a timer to add water a little each day and its been working for a couple years since it also monitors weather and rain amounts. But its not perfect with evaporation. The float would solve the issue by sending command to EISY that then will trigger program to turn the valve on or off. I can add a maximum daily so there is no chance of overfill.

I hope you will (or can soon) support both devices.

THANKS in advance

the water level is the leak sensor- reversed, so it is supported. They also have valves with water measurement capabilities and a water dept sensor (both supported). The float is a little tricky if there are "waves" as it triggers multiple times.

Motion sensor is supported

The local version supports the local hub (special HUB) - that allows control without internet - I do not believe speakerhub runs without internet (yet)

I know its off topic a little, but any ideas on a way to measure water in a pool. I used one called Pool Sentry but its not smart. I need a way to measure level thats smart!! (and waterproof battery)

Yolink offers a waterdept sensor - I have not tried it myself - I think it has +/- 1 inch accuracy - I assume it could work. You can likely adjust it to become more accurate, but it will likely change with weather (My guess)

I personally use a Yolink alarm power unit (it is really a power supply you can turn on and off) and then a door sensor with a float sensor (with a small circuit added) replacing the normal sensor. The circuit on the float ensures the door sensor only can change state when powered by the alarm - I then only turn the power on when I need to see if the pool needs filling (once a day) - It is a little complex but it is from before the water dept sensor was available - I assume you can hide the dept sensor inside a skimmer (like i currently do ). The issues I had with the traditional float was it ran out of battery quickly as waves in the pool when close to the filling point would sends changes all the time draining the battery - I know Yolink talked about an improved algorithm but not sure if it happened. Naturally you can control the alarms to set the rearm time long and if you fill on first trigger the sensor should not trigger after you fill the pool - the sensor was not good in high humidity either (I had to have it in a "waterproof" box ).

Forgot to mention the yolinkLocal is a superset of Yolink node server, so if you plan to go to localHub in the future, I would get that - there is no upgrade path (UDI does not support this in the PG3x system). Without localHub they should behave identical
