Practical Benefits and Use Cases

1. Control Your Devices with Just One Tap

The true power of iOS widgets lies in their ability to let you control your smart home with ease. You don’t need to open the app or search through multiple screens. With a single tap on the widget, your devices are ready to go, saving you time and hassle.

Example:

Imagine you’re preparing dinner in the kitchen and need to adjust the lighting, turn on the oven, or set the kitchen fan—all while your hands are busy. A 4×2 widget displaying your lights, oven, and fan controls allows you to make those adjustments instantly. You don’t have to stop cooking to open the app. With a quick tap, everything is exactly how you want it, helping you stay focused and making cooking a more enjoyable experience.

 

2. Organize Devices by Your Daily Routine

iOS widgets allow you to organize devices according to your lifestyle, ensuring that your most frequently used devices are always at your fingertips. Whether you’re setting up a morning routine or an evening wind-down, widgets can help prioritize your home’s functions to match your day-to-day needs.

Example:

Let’s say your mornings are busy, and you need to quickly check the temperature, start your coffee maker, and open the blinds. A 4×4 widget that shows your temperature sensor, coffee maker, and blinds makes it easy to control these devices with one tap. No more searching for individual devices in the app—everything you need is ready when you need it, making your mornings smoother and more efficient.

 

3. Manage Multiple Devices Efficiently from One Place

If you have a lot of smart home devices, managing them individually can be time-consuming. iOS widgets allow you to consolidate controls in a single view, with up to 8 devices displayed in a 4×4 widget. This means you can control a variety of devices quickly, without needing to jump between screens or apps.

Example:

Imagine you have multiple ceiling fans across different rooms. A 4×4 widget lets you control all of them from one place. You can turn them on or control the lights—all without switching between rooms or apps. Whether you’re relaxing in the living room or tidying up the kitchen, you can manage all your fans from a single widget, making your multi-device setup more streamlined and efficient.

eWeLink‘s iOS widgets take your smart home experience to the next level by offering fast, efficient, and customizable control. Whether it’s managing devices at a glance, organizing your most-used devices, or saving time with shortcuts, widgets help make your home smarter and your life easier.
