These new integrations offer users a wider array of options for automating and controlling their smart home environments, enhancing convenience and versatility.
A Brief History of Matter Device Integration in eWeLink
The journey of integrating Matter devices into the eWeLink ecosystem began with version 5.0, and subsequent updates have expanded its compatibility.
- eWeLink app V5.0: This version marked the introduction of Matter device support, starting with the Matter Plug. It laid the foundation for a more interconnected smart home experience.
- eWeLink app V5.2: The app expanded its support to include the Matter light with dimmable, cool-warm, and colorful capabilities. This update enabled users to control and automate their lighting systems more efficiently, offering greater control over ambiance and energy use.
- eWeLink app V5.3: With this version, the support for Matter Bridge was introduced. This feature allows the connection of various smart home devices, such as Zigbee plugs and lights with dimmable, cool-warm, and colorful capabilities, to the Matter Network. This upgrade requires the NSPanel Pro to be updated to version 2.4 or later, ensuring seamless management of these devices through a unified platform.
- eWeLink app V5.4: This update brought support for Matter Color Temperature Light and Matter On/Off Light Switch. Users can now fine-tune their lighting environments to match their preferences and needs, whether it’s for reading, relaxing, or working.
- eWeLink app V5.6: The app further extended its capabilities by including support for the Matter Temperature and Humidity Sensor, as well as the Matter Door Sensor. These additions provide users with more tools to monitor and maintain optimal conditions in their homes, enhancing security and comfort.
- eWeLink app V5.8: The latest update introduces support for the Matter Occupancy Sensor and the Matter Generic Switch. The Occupancy Sensor allows for more advanced automation, such as adjusting lighting or heating based on room occupancy, thereby improving energy efficiency and user comfort. The Generic Switch adds versatility, enabling users to control various devices with a simple command.
With each update, the eWeLink app continues to enrich its support for Matter devices, offering users more choices and greater control over their smart home systems. The addition of the Matter Occupancy Sensor and Generic Switch in version 5.8 is a testament to eWeLink’s dedication to innovation and user convenience.
