Exploring the Enhanced “Insight” Tab in the eWeLink App

At eWeLink, we are committed to helping users achieve efficient home management. That’s why the Insight tab was meticulously crafted, with the aim of offering a seamless way to access critical information and control key aspects of your eWeLink smart home ecosystem. With five sections in total, the Insight tab provides users with a comprehensive tab to access essential data, including temperature, humidity, electricity usage, device status and more.

A Closer Look at the Insight Tab

Home Ambience

Experience ultimate comfort and control with the Home Ambience section. By connecting to temperature and humidity sensors, you can effortlessly monitor your home’s environmental conditions in real time. Whether you’re adjusting the thermostat for optimal comfort or ensuring ideal humidity levels, staying in tune with the Home Ambience section has never been easier.

Camera Live View

Enhance your home security with the Camera Live View section. Easily add your security cameras to the app and seamlessly switch between different camera views with a simple swipe. Monitor live streams from up to three different security cameras directly in the eWeLink app, allowing you to keep an eye on critical areas of your property in real time. This helps deter potential intruders and stay connected to your home’s surroundings, no matter where you are.

Devices On

Stay in control of your smart devices with the Devices On section. Get a clear overview of which devices are currently active, from switches and plugs to air conditioners and lights. With the ability to toggle device states individually or all at once with the “All Off” feature, managing your home’s energy usage and functionality has never been more convenient.

Energy Dashboard

Take charge of your electricity consumption with the Energy Dashboard. Track and manage electricity usage across your devices, with options to view consumption by group, week, or month. Set targets and receive alerts when usage exceeds predefined thresholds, empowering you to make informed decisions and optimize energy efficiency in your home.

Presence Simulation

Enhance your home security with smart automation using the Presence Simulation section. By setting random timers for your devices, devices such as lights will randomly turn on and off at the selected time, giving the impression that you’re at home and deterring potential intruders while you’re away. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your home is protected, even when you’re not there.

What Improvements Have Been Made to the "Insight" Tab in eWeLink App 5.3?

1. Customize Your Insights Sections

In the latest eWeLink app version 5.3, enhancements have been made to the “Insight” tab. One of the key upgrades is the introduction of customizable Insight sections, marking a departure from the previously fixed layout. Previously, users were confined to predefined sections, but now they have the freedom to select and arrange sections according to their preferences.

For example, some users may not be interested in monitoring their home security system, so they can remove the Camera Live View section from Insight. Others who haven’t installed energy monitoring devices can hide the Energy Dashboard section.

2. Exclude Specific Devices in Devices On Section

Furthermore, the introduction of the ability to exclude specific devices in the “Devices On” section adds another layer of customization and functionality. For devices that require continuous power, users can exclude them in the Devices On section. When using the “All Off” feature, these excluded devices will not be turned off. This feature caters to users with devices that need to remain operational 24/7, such as security cameras or network infrastructure.

What's Coming Up

In eWeLink app V5.4, the Presence Simulation in Insight will allow for specified channel selection for multi-channel devices. We will also raise the group number limit of the Energy Dashboard to 16. Furthermore, in eWeLink app V5.5, the Presence Simulation is anticipated to include the option to select the duration for which devices remain continuously on. Stay tuned for updates.
