Your DimmerFob connects to the internet via a YoLink hub (Speaker Hub or the original YoLink Hub), and it does not connect directly to your WiFi or local network. In order for remote access to the device from the app, and for full functionality, a hub is required.

This guide assumes the YoLink app has been installed on your smartphone, and a YoLink hub is installed and online (or your location, apartment, condo, etcetera, is already served by a YoLink wireless network).

I. Control-D2D Device-to-Device Pairing

Pair Your DimmerFob:

Before you can use your DimmerFob it must be paired to at least one YoLink Dimmer Switch. You will need to have each device available to perform the pairing process (this is not done in the app). The steps to pair your DimmerFob to one or more siren devices are as follows:

On the DimmerFob, press and hold the On Button button for 5 to 10 seconds, until the LED flashes green, then release the button.

Press for 5-10 Seconds Until the LED Flashes Green
On the Dimmer Switch, press and hold the SET button for 5 to 10 seconds, until the status LED flashes green.

Press for 5-10 Seconds Until the LED Flashes Green

Your DimmerFob is now paired to your Dimmer Switch. Pair additional Dimmer Switches, if needed.

Test your DimmerFob. Press the On Button, to turn on all paired Dimmer Switches. Test the brightness and Off Button, and verify the switch(es) respond accordingly.

Unpair Your DimmerFob:

On the DimmerFob, press and hold the On button for 10 to 15 seconds, until the LED flashes green, then release the button.
On the Dimmer Switch, press and hold the SET button for 10 to 15 seconds, until the status LED flashes green.

The Dimmer Switch will no longer respond to the DimmerFob.

J. Battery Replacement

Using a small Phillips screwdriver, remove the housing screw. Carefully place it to the side.
Remove the back shell.

You may find it easier to pry open the case using a fingernail, or a slotted screwdriver. Start at the bottom of the fob, at the keyring loop. Once part of the case begins to separate, move your fingernail or screwdriver gently around the edges of the case, until the back cover comes free.
Remove the old batteries.
Install two new alkaline AAA batteries. (Do not mix old and new batteries)
Reassemble the fob and tighten the screw.
Test the operation of your fob.

K. Firmware Updates

Your YoLink products are frequently being improved, with new features and functions added over time. It is periodically necessary to make changes to your fob’s firmware. For optimal performance of your fob, and to give you access to any improvements made to your fob’s model, these firmware updates should be installed (added to your fob) when they become available.

In the Detail screen of your fob, you will see the Firmware section, as shown in the image below. A firmware update is available if it says “#### ready now” (where #### is a four-digit combination of letters and/or numbers).

Tap in the Firmware area to start the update. The fob will update automatically, indicating the progress by percentage complete. You may use your fob during the update process, as the update is performed “in the background”. You may see the LED slowly blink green during the update, and the update may continue for several minutes beyond the LED turning off.

Firmware is like settings in your fob that define the overall operations of the fob, for example, determining when and how the fob’s sounder should beep. These settings are added to the fob when it is manufactured, and they are periodically updated, as needed, to add improvements, new features, new integrations, etc, to your fob, as they become available. If you use your DimmerFob without an associated YoLink hub, firmware updates can not be made on your fob.

L. Factory Reset

When directed by customer support, and/or as an attempt to resolve a problem with your fob, it may be necessary to perform a factory reset. Factory resetting your fob returns it to the factory default programming and settings. This is a simple process:

Hold the Off button for 20 to 30 seconds, until the LED blinks red and green alternately, then release the button.

Off Button
Press for 20 to 30 Seconds

Factory reset is complete when the LED stops flashing.

Pressing the button for longer than 30 seconds will abort the factory reset process.

Factory reset will not remove the fob from the app. The only way to remove the fob from the app is to delete it (in the app).

M. Troubleshooting

If your fob does not operate as expected, if the fob has worked before, but stopped working, check and replace the batteries, if needed. If the fob has not worked before, perform the pairing process as previously explained, then test the fob again.

If this does not resolve the issue, please contact our customer support department (see the contact info on the last page of this guide).

We recommend checking for and performing any available firmware updates before contacting customer support.

N. Warnings

For optimal performance and lifetime of your fob, please adhere to the following warnings:

be submerged in water or other liquids. Promptly dry off your fob if it does get wet.
