eWeLink App Now Supports Matter Light Sensor
Table of Contents
The eWeLink app continues to lead in smart home innovation by now supporting the Matter Light Sensor since version V5.11. With this integration, users can monitor real-time illuminance levels and review historical illuminance data across various timeframes, such as daily, weekly, monthly, and biannual views.
The Matter Light Sensor takes your smart home automation to the next level by supporting scene creation directly based on real-time illuminance data. With this powerful feature, you can craft smarter and more adaptive automation:
- Energy-efficient lighting: Use illuminance thresholds to create scenes where indoor lights dim when natural light is sufficient or brighten as evening approaches, saving energy seamlessly.
- Optimized indoor comfort: Program smart curtains via scenes to close when light levels exceed a specific threshold, keeping your home cool, or open when light is limited to maximize natural brightness.
- Greenhouse optimization: Analyze real-time and historical data to automate shading or supplemental lighting, maintaining the perfect conditions for healthy plant growth.
With the ability to create scenes based on lux value ranges and access historical data for fine-tuning, the Matter Light Sensor and eWeLink open doors to a truly personalized and intelligent smart home experience.
