Feature Request: Bandwidth Monitor

Mgreer316 they've provided per device for a while now, although it's a little cumbersome.  What I need and I think a lot of the other folks here is total bandwidth across all devices.  If they could just add them up, that would go a long way for a lot of us.  So this is definitely shouldn't be closed yet.

ANeeroFull No, they haven't. This is new and exactly what we've been waiting for. This appears to be a part of version 6 level firmware that's just been released to coincide with the Pro 6 release I'm assuming. 

Mgreer316 That does look exactly like what we all need, but I just updated my app and eeros and still not there.  Maybe they've only updated the Android app (I'm on iPhone)?

I do pay for Secure+ btw, so that can't be the reason it's missing.  Kinda disappointing that if it's now available, at least on android, they wouldn't mention it here or anywhere else, including the release notes.

ANeeroFull Yes, I'm on Android. They flagged/announced the new capability in the app. But nowhere else as far as I can tell and I've been looking for any new information after the rehearse of the Pro 6.

ANeeroFull When you updated you're app did your system reset? Mine did so I'm wondering if the firmware was also updated? 

Mgreer316 Mine did.  Both my phone app and eero status both say they were updated.  I'm curious, did your release notes mention this as one of the new features?

This is all mine (both app and fw) says:

• Support for eero 6 and eero Pro 6
• Smart Home Hub: eero 6 systems connect your Zigbee smart home devices to Alexa
• Frustration-Free Setup: Link your Amazon account to seamlessly connect supported devices to your eero networks
• System stability and security improvements

and then apparently there was a 6.0.1 firmware release on 11/1 that simply says:

• System stability improvements

ANeeroFull My update notes say the same thing as yours. There's no mention of it in the notes. However, there is on my Home page. See the attachment. 

ANeeroFull Also, the other odd thing is I have full data for all my devices for all of October. So they've been collecting the data before we could access it. 

Mgreer316 Oh well, thanks for catching this and correcting me.  Hopefully, iPhone will get it soon too.  Still amazing they haven't bothered to update this thread at all.

Mgreer316 I don't pay for secure+ and I see the new bandwidth usage in my Android app. 

thaddeusq I responded to your other post. But try to look at different slices of your data (day view, month view, etc). Before I subscribed I saw the current week's data. However, when I tried to view other slices, it would let me. 

Mgreer316 Responded to the other, but just so it's here as well. You are correct. I had forgotten that I subscribe to Secure but not Secure+. That means you are correct in that it is $3/month. Thanks for setting me straight!

wiper yep. $2.99/month.

wiper They don't charge for it. I don't pay for secure+ and I see the bandwidth usage in my Android app.

thaddeusq Before I subscribed, I saw this week's view of my data. However, when I tried to look at a day view or a month view or anything other than the default week, it wouldn't let me. It essentially said I had to subscribe. 

Mgreer316 You're right. I subscribe to Secure, but not Secure+. I had forgotten about subscribing to Secure. You are correct, that makes it $3/month. 

Moses their website says Activity Center is part of Secure/Secure+

ANeeroFull I see that now: https://support.eero.com/hc/en-us/articles/360049161231-Understanding-Your-Network-Data-Usage

No mention if it comes to all eero devices or just the new ones. The link above doesn't indicate hardware requirements so I am hopeful.

Moses Im on the Pro 2 system, not the new Pro 6. I get all the stats I was looking for. It's $3/minth but I'm a happy camper. It seems to be very well executed. 

Mgreer316 Sounds great. Looks exactly what I need. I have 7 eero Pro's already. I am not home but have initiated the update remotely to see if they get it. Do you have the Android or iPhone app? Users above that are seeing it have Android, I am on iPhone.

Moses I'm on Android. 

Mgreer316 OK. Well, I assume it is coming to iPhone soon then. Looks great and I am hopeful.

Merf Just saw this from eero on reddit. iOS on track for next week. 🙂

Moses YAY!

I have a ton of network tools in my home office for the job, so I've always known what my Eeros are doing from a traffic standpoint.

What I didn't have was SNMP support for the Eeros themselves. Again, not a deal breaker since I can see more than the average bear.

Overall...this is the best consumer grade router hardware I've owned...and I've owned a LOT. 

Moses yea that was me.. lol

Mgreer316 Mgreer316 Are there screen shots anywhere?

I saw some Android app screen shots earlier in this thread.

the_mace Yes, I posted some above.

Mgreer316 Thanks, sorry I missed that. I find this forum's scrolling/refresh a bit odd. The images are just what I'm looking for. Unfortunately I'm on iOS but it sounds like it's coming soon so that's great news!

wow, Eero is selling me my own data. Is it even legal? Imagine you have to pay for Google and youtube for your search and watch history. Very creative way of making money.

eero_user I find it a bit disturbing as well, along with the whole concept of having to create an online account for something that should be local to my network.

In practice, for this whole bandwidth monitor thread, I just wish they supported SNMP and people could choose what solution they want to use for metrics and monitoring.

edhchoe You don't the eero 6! The version 6 level firmware added this to my 2nd gen Eero Pro, so I'm assuming all eeros have it. 

Mgreer316 where are you seeing the stats now? I’m on v6.0.2 and I’m still not seeing individual network usage on the phone app.

Nkrueger38 Do you use the android app??  I use iOS and still no detail device usage at least that I can see.

Nkrueger38 if you're on iOS it's suppose to be available some time this week according to a post in reddit. But to answer your question, the "Activity" network icon on the bottom is where the stats are. 

Jlogsdon i am using iOS and this is working for me. The data is located under Activity. It’s called Data Usage. 

Mgreer316 I meant I upgraded to eero 6 from another old system - Apple Time Capsule.

Jlogsdon I do use iOS. I still have nothing, unless I need to purchase secure, I haven’t done that. 

Mgreer316 Do I need Secure tho to see it? Or will it b free? I’m still not seeing it but some posts with iOS show it now.

Nkrueger38 Yes and no. You'll get the current week's aggregate and device usage free. However, if you want to drill down to daily use or monthly use and individual device hourly use you'll have to pony up the $3/month of $30/year Secure fee. 

Mgreer316 thanks man, I hope I see it soon. I’m on the latest version but still nothing, and I’ve seen other iOS posts having it. Hopefully it’s a quick role out

Mgreer316 I should also ask, is the daily and monthly worth it? I’m in IT so I feel like it is, but without seeing it, looking for feedback. 

Nkrueger38 Well, IMO the daily is for the stat nerds (of which I am one). But the monthly is important because that's the basis for which you might be charged overage by your ISP. 

Nkrueger38 I should also add that the ability to drill down on a specific device to see hourly data consumption will help you isolate where data leaks are. And if you have younger kids you can see if anybody is gaming or on social al media at 3AM when they should be asleep! 

Mgreer316 thanks for the insight man! Stat nerd here too! Can you drill down deep enough to see actual data tho? Like 8gb https, 3mg dns, 2gb file share ect? Per device? 
how deep is the drill down is where I’m going. its only $30 but I wanna make sure it’s worth it :-)

Nkrueger38 No, not that level of granularity. This is as fine as it gets. 

Nkrueger38 

I force closed the IOS app and opened a few hours ago...a pop-up message announced it and you can touch that or the new Data panel in Activity.

the_mace so we use the iOS app, using 3 eero pros, iOS is at the 6.0.2 -11 version for each eero.  But I still don’t see any detail device usage. 

Jlogsdon I didn't see it until today myself. Not sure what made it suddenly turn up. You do need an eero secure trial or paid subscription to get the data. I was on the trial still (5 days left) since my installation was recent. Maybe that's it?

Jlogsdon Mine wasn't there this morning. Is now. No software updates in between. I suspect they are rolling it out on the server side.

the_mace Why is Roku using all your data?!

the_mace is that free or did you purchase Secure to see this now?

Nkrueger38 I had the free trial for eero secure. After the stats came in I paid for the 1 year ($30). Next to the 8 Eeros I have the $30 didn’t make a dent. 

edhchoe spectrum app for TV.  Mother-in-law has one or more TVs going all day. 

the_mace Wow! We hit 195GB last week and I thought that was high. But you're almost at 400! MIL is a data hog.  Start charging her! 🙂

the_mace they don’t seem to have brought this to the eero U.K. app. Maybe it’s because I only have eero rather than eero pro? 

5tgcbds not sure. I have a mix of eero and eero pro. 3 pro and 4 eero
