Recently added the water shut off value (I had a plumber install it, although I could have installed it myself). The batteries are AA, good for about 2+ years and easy to replace. I also have the garage door sensor and control (to open or close the door). The hub announces when it opens or closes and even warns me it is open after a time I set up. It uses its own "WiFi" system (which is good for about a quarter mile).
Set up is very easy (QR code), and even "programming" is no big deal (but they respond quickly with any questions you have). Since it is connected to my in-house router, I can see what's happening any time and open/close the garage door anywhere . I also have door sensors to let me know when a door opens (or closes).

If you get the system I can help you install it. (No fee as I do this kind of stuff for anyone in The Villages (JoelJohnson530@gmail.com).
Do you need the YOLINK hub (an add on) or can the device tap into your home wifi router or SimpliSafe?
