5.0 out of 5 stars Replaced Unit After 4 yrs 1.5 Mos - STILL 5 stars!!

2026-01-25    -Bill

Had 1st unit in Heavy Duty Thick Walled Cast Aluminum Mailbox for 49.5 months (4 years, 1-1/2 months !!). Replaced it this month (January 2020) as it seemed to get "flaky" - the range became shortened so i thought. Thus I bought a replacement then tested new vs old transmitters (part installed in mailbox) and their receivers (part installed indoors) and did a range test (distance). Repeatedly the original unit failed to receive a signal beyond 23 feet. Batteries were new Energizer - not lousy off brand junk. New unit passed with flying colors.Conclusion - suspect original transmitter suffered a degradation in ability to communicate. Stuff happens.Replacement unit working just fine. - life is good again!Now here's the cool part ............I reprogrammed the original receiver to work in concert with the replacement mailbox transmitter (& new receiver) and positioned the old receiver FURTHER away in our kitchen. Yep, works great. BOTH units receive just fine and therefore provide great coverage within an 80 foot long home !!If you do not get one of these ... keep trudging to your mailbox to see if (Ala Tom Hanks) ... "You've got mail!"

Los productos de Skylink net son todos muy buenos, de alta calidad y seguros. Sólo su tiempo de vida en el caso de los sensores de puerta son de alrededor de 5 años.

The biggest mistake you can make with these are using cheap batteries. Buy some Duracell AAA so they don't leak and damage the sensor. Otherwise no issues. I live in a high humidity area so i sprayed the board with non conductive sealer also. Just make sure you don't spray the battery contacts.

A low cost door sensor that does the job!

Considering that I paid a lot more for a commercial alarm companies door sensors this unit does the job without any problems. With Skylink you can add and program each sensor on your iPhone or iPad.With the commercial alarm company you need to have a Tech come to your house and program the sensor. Getting an appointment is also a chore, just getting them on the phone is terrible and they are one of the major Phone/TV/Alarm companies in may area .Now I can now expand my alarm system at any time without adding extra time and effort. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to install the sensor and in some cases less then that. Programming is easy once you have mastered the instructions. So now it only takes about 5 minutes to configure a Skylink door sensor.Last point: If you're a DIY person and have the ability to learn new things I highly recommend getting a Skylink starter system and install it a long side your commercial alarm system. It won't take you that long to see how flexible this system is. Within a week to two you may decide to cancel your old system. Just remember that this is a self monitoring alarm system and its up to you to keep a close eye on your phone alerts.

Very happy with skylinknet. They've improved their security system tremendously with it now being remote operated with a mobile app. Very straight forward, easy to setup and operate with flexible configurations.

Sensor de puerta y ventana Skylink WD-MT

2026-01-13    -Harico

EXCELENTE FUNCION Y DE BUENA CALIDAD ; PUEDE ACTIVARSE O DESACTIVARSE DESDE CUALQUIER CELULAR QUE TENGA LA APLICACION Y CONTRASEÑA, ADEMAS DE QUE ES MUY FACIL DE COLOCAR Y CONECTAR PORQUE ES INALAMBRICO.

Sensor facil de instalación

4.0 out of 5 stars Well-priced door sensors and system

Works great. We've used these for over 2 years indoors and outdoors without replacing the batteries. We use these with the Skylink SK-150 Basic Starter Kit that has a hub and some Skylink cameras. When I bought the system in Oct 2015, this was the cheapest DIY system I could find. Some of the others had monthly fees or $30+ sensors (I paid $20/each for this sensor).For installation, the original sticky backs are strong. They stayed up about a year and then we had to pull some of them off when we were getting our door frames and fence replaced. To install the sensors again, we bought some double-sided sticky tape. We screwed one of the sensors to the door frame and that worked well too.The push notification is nice. If I'm at work and the notification goes, I can look on the cameras. The log of when the door sensors were triggered is handy too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended

Highly recommend. We were broke into and after the recoup we put these on all doors and windows. Work great. Never a false alarm.
