Where Does eWeLink Store Devices and Scenes?
eWeLink ties devices and scenes to its cloud account, with login and cache in the app folder plus LAN mode for local control.
Last updated
eWeLink is account led. Devices, scenes, schedules, and sharing all attach to the login, not the handset. The phone app renders state and sends commands through the cloud or the local network.
Local storage holds session and cache under the verified package. LAN mode deserves attention during setup: same WiFi plus granted permissions gives basic control when the internet drops. Confirm the login email before suspecting the files when devices vanish.
Where eWeLink stores this, by platform
/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.coolkit
Session and cache under the verified eWeLink package. Devices follow the account, so matching the login matters more than any folder copy. Re grant local network permission after reinstalls.
On My iPhone/eWeLink
Devices and scenes sync through the eWeLink login. Sign in to restore everything. Phone reinstalls never touch device firmware or cloud scenes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move eWeLink to a new phone?
Sign in with the same eWeLink account on the new phone. Devices, scenes, and sharing follow the login. Re grant LAN permissions on the new device so local control keeps working.
Do eWeLink devices work without internet?
Yes, when the devices support it and the phone sits on the same network. Cloud scenes still need internet. LAN mode covers basic switching during outages, not automations stored in the cloud.
