Table of Contents PART YoLink SpeakerHub YS1604-UC Set-up & User Guide Rev 1.
B User Guide Conventions Introduction YoLink Hubs are the gateway to the internet for your YoLink devices. As opposed to many smart home systems, the individual devices are not on your network or WiFI and are not directly connected to the internet. Instead, your devices communicate with the Hub, which connects to the internet, the cloud server and the app. To assure your satisfaction with your purchase, please read this user guide we have prepared just for you.
B C Introduction, Continued Before You Begin Find a suitable place for your SpeakerHub to live. SpeakerHub wants to be indoors, clean and dry. Your system may have more than one Hub, due to the number of devices (one Hub can support at least 300 devices), and/or the physical size of your home or building(s) and/or property. YoLink's unique LoRa®-based long-range/low-power system offers industry-leading range - up to 1/4 mile reach, open air! SpeakerHub is not designed for wall-mounting.
