What is Presence Simulation?
Presence Simulation helps enhance your home’s security by creating the illusion that someone is home, even when you’re not. By setting random timers for your smart devices, such as lights and appliances, they will turn on and off at unpredictable intervals during selected times. This random activity can deter potential intruders by making your home appear occupied.
Evolution of Presence Simulation in the eWeLink App:
eWeLink App V5.0: The initial launch introduced the Presence Simulation section within the Insight section, allowing users to start using this innovative security enhancement.
eWeLink App V5.4: This update provided the ability to choose specific channels for multi-channel devices, adding flexibility and control over the simulation process.
eWeLink App V5.5: Users gained the ability to customize how long devices stay on during the simulation. With options ranging from as short as 1 minute to 23 hours and 59 minutes, homeowners can tailor the simulation to fit their needs precisely.
eWeLink App V5.7: The latest update extended the Presence Simulation support to include DUALR3 and DUALR3 Lite devices, broadening the range of compatible devices and enhancing the feature’s versatility.
Advantages of Presence Simulation:
- Improved Security: By mimicking real-life activity, Presence Simulation can deter potential burglars and keep your home safer.
- Ease of Use: The feature is straightforward to set up and customize through the eWeLink app. Setting up Presence Simulation is simple: tap “Add” to access the Presence Simulation Settings page, enter a name for your simulation schedule, set the effective period during which the simulation will run, decide whether you want the schedule to repeat on weekdays and weekends, set the device runtime duration, and select the smart devices you want to include in the simulation.
- Customizable Settings: With the ability to select specific channels and set the duration of the activity, you can create a highly personalized simulation that fits your routine and preferences.
Imagine you’re going on a week-long vacation. By using Presence Simulation, you can set your living room lights to turn on and off randomly in the evening. Additionally, you can program your smart plugs to activate a radio or television at different times throughout the day. This creates a convincing illusion of occupancy, providing peace of mind while you enjoy your trip.
eWeLink‘s Presence Simulation is a valuable tool for enhancing home security. By leveraging smart technology to simulate occupancy, it offers a simple yet effective way to protect your home when you’re away.
