Added Support for Android Auto
One of the standout features in eWeLink App V5.7 is its new support for Android Auto, making it possible to control your smart home devices directly from your car’s display. Now, users can effortlessly control their smart home while on the go, directly from their car’s infotainment system. With just a tap, preset scenes like “Arrive Home” can be activated, automatically triggering a sequence of actions such as opening the garage door and turning on lights, creating a warm and welcoming ambiance upon arrival. Additionally, the Family Sharing feature allows you to share control of manual scenes with family members, so everyone in the household can enjoy the convenience of in-car smart home management.
Enhanced Support for Android Widgets
The app update also bolsters the functionality of Android widgets, allowing users to manage a broader range of smart home products directly from their home screen. The “Device Control 2×2” and “Device Control 4×2” widgets now support devices like four-channel plugs, RGBCW LED bulb lights, Wi-Fi smart dimmer switches, dual-channel plugs, and smart wall switches, ensuring effortless control at a glance.
