eWeLink CUBE Dashboard: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Smart Home Control Panel

If you’re running an eWeLink CUBE smart-home gateway, there’s a new way to monitor and control your Zigbee devices—entirely on your own network. The eWeLink CUBE Dashboard is a modern, responsive web dashboard that puts you in full control of your smart home, with no cloud required after setup.

Key Features

• Real-time device overview: Instantly see all your Zigbee devices—temperature, humidity, battery, signal, and power state—at a glance.
• Live updates: Thanks to Server-Sent Events (SSE), the dashboard updates in real time without polling or page refreshes.
• Switch & light control: Toggle power, adjust brightness, and change colors directly from the UI.
• Sensor history: Track temperature, humidity, and more over time with interactive charts, all stored locally in SQLite.
• Customizable widgets: Pin your most important devices for quick access.
• Gateway info: Monitor CPU, RAM, uptime, firmware, and network details of your CUBE gateway.
• Dark & light themes: The dashboard adapts to your system preference or manual toggle.
• Fully local: Runs on your LAN—no internet or cloud account needed after initial setup.
