Arlo All-in-One Sensor vs YoLink LoRa 1/4 Mile Motion Sensor

The YoLink LoRa 1/4 Mile Motion Sensor, which costs less, is better rated and supports Alexa, Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter. The Arlo All-in-One Sensor wins by adding ambient light and temperature sensing to motion in a single unit.

Range. The YoLink LoRa 1/4 Mile Motion Sensor uses a LoRa radio that reaches up to a quarter of a mile, covering outbuildings and far corners of a property. The Arlo All-in-One Sensor is a conventional short-range sensor for indoor use.

The YoLink LoRa 1/4 Mile Motion Sensor, which lists Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter alongside Alexa. The Arlo All-in-One Sensor covers Google Home and Alexa only, so it is the narrower option for a custom setup.

Only the Arlo All-in-One Sensor, which reports ambient light and temperature as well as motion. The YoLink LoRa 1/4 Mile Motion Sensor detects motion alone.

Anywhere too far for normal wireless: a detached garage, a barn, a gate, the end of a long garden. Its LoRa link keeps reporting where a Wi-Fi or Zigbee sensor would simply drop off the network.

Buyers inside the Arlo ecosystem who want one indoor device covering motion, light and temperature, with Google Home and Alexa control.

Buyers who need motion alerts from far outside normal wireless range, or who want the widest platform support here, including Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter, at the lower price.
