Away from home? Stay connected with your pets and keep an eye on their surroundings with compatible smart devices.

Whether you’re heading to work or taking a short trip, it’s natural to wonder how your pets are doing at home. With eWeLink-compatible devices, you can check in remotely, monitor indoor conditions, and automate selected home routines to help keep your pets comfortable while you’re away.

1. Check In on Your Pets with a Smart Camera

A compatible indoor camera lets you see how your pets are doing without being at home.

Position the camera where your pet spends most of its time, and make sure remote viewing works before you leave.

Depending on your camera model, you may be able to:

  • View multiple cameras with Camera Live View: Keep an eye on different areas of your home by viewing live feeds from multiple compatible cameras in one place.
  • Check on your pet: See whether your pet is resting, playing, or moving around as usual.
  • Use two-way audio: Talk to your pet if your camera supports two-way communication.
  • Receive motion notifications: Get alerts when movement is detected, if supported by your camera and settings.

Remote viewing helps you stay informed, but it cannot replace in-person care. Check in regularly and arrange for someone you trust to visit when your pet needs attention.

2. Keep an Eye on Indoor Temperature

A comfortable indoor environment is important for your pet’s well-being, especially during hot or cold weather.

An eWeLink-compatible temperature sensor can help you monitor room temperature remotely, so you can check whether conditions are changing while you’re away.

You can also create smart scenes to trigger actions automatically based on temperature readings from compatible sensors.

For example:

When the room temperature rises above your chosen threshold → Turn on a compatible fan.

Before setting up this automation, make sure the fan is suitable for unattended use and can operate safely in your home. Choose a temperature threshold appropriate for your pet, and remember that a fan alone may not be enough to keep a room safe during extreme heat. Avoid relying on smart-home automations alone to keep your pet safe in extreme temperatures.

3. Maintain a Familiar Lighting Routine

You can also use eWeLink-compatible smart lights to maintain a consistent lighting schedule at home.

For example, create a schedule or Smart Scene to:

  • Turn on a light in the evening.
  • Turn it off at a chosen time.
  • Use sunrise or sunset as a trigger, if supported by your setup.

If your lights support brightness adjustment, you can include dimming in your routine. For lights that only support on/off control, simply schedule them to turn on or off.

Choose lighting settings that suit your pet’s normal environment. Automated lighting can help maintain a familiar routine, but it should complement your pet’s needs rather than replace proper care.

4. Set Up Your Home Before You Leave

A few simple checks can help you get the most out of your smart home while you’re away.

Before leaving:

  • Test remote access: Make sure you can view your camera and check sensor readings in the eWeLink App.
  • Check your automations: Confirm that your schedules and smart scenes work as expected.
  • Keep your pet’s essentials ready: Provide sufficient food and fresh water, and make sure your pet’s usual supplies are accessible.
  • Check the environment: Secure cables and other hazards, and make sure your pet has a comfortable place to rest.
  • Arrange backup care: Ask a trusted person to check on your pet as often as needed.

Stay Connected, Even When You're Away

From checking in with a camera to monitoring room temperature and automating selected lights, eWeLink-compatible devices can help you stay connected to your home while you’re away.

With a little preparation and the right devices, you can keep an eye on your pet’s surroundings and manage selected home routines remotely. Smart home technology can offer extra peace of mind, while attentive, in-person care remains essential to your pet’s well-being.
