Eve Door & Window

As a long-time user of Eve products, I’ve always found their smart devices to be top-notch, and this Eve Door and Window Sensor is no exception. It integrates seamlessly with Apple Home and provides reliable notifications for open and closed states, giving me peace of mind about the security of my home. The Bluetooth/Thread connectivity works flawlessly, and the best part is there’s no need for a bridge, making setup quick and easy. I love how I can automate my accessories and scenes based on the sensor’s state, adding convenience to my smart home. Eve has yet again impressed me with the quality and reliability of their products. Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a hassle-free, efficient smart sensor!

These are just so simple and brilliant it’s incredible. Using with Apple HomeKit app. Easy to install, self adhesive stickers or screws Set up is about 5 mins per unit and works like a dream. Download the Apple HomeKit App, apply where you want it either on a door or window, or even a Garage Roller or normal up and over door. When the sensors are split you get a notification to with iPhone, iPad Apple Watch or even the iOS iPod I would think too. I’ve got one on the back door so if it’s opened during the night I have 2 bedside light that come on and the Apple HomePod mini comes on playing an alarm sound. So simple and so quick. Brilliant

I have now fitted 12 of these on various doors and windows. The installation is easy, and the Eve app out Apple HomeKit app steps you through the process nicely. I only had one glitch where after a firmware update one unit stopped responding, but Eve support helped me resolve that issue. Operation is very reliable, and the automations I have set work well. One lesson I learnt was with regard to fitting on Velux windows. Initially they were on and working ok, but after a short period of time I would get a window open notification followed very quickly by a closed notification, even when windows had not been opened. I realised the magnet part was just a fraction too far from the sensor. After carefully removing (not easy, so take care) and remounting the issue was resolved. So I can’t blame the product. Overall I’m happy with these and would fit more if needed.

Very good sensor and works great in my Homekit ecosystem. Dropped a star though as the batteries are a strange half-size AA, which are very hard to find. Had 3 of these for about 7 months - one battery was dead after 3 months and another just died last week. Hopefully the next generation of these use AA, AAA or even CR2032 batteries which are more widely available to buy!

Recently fitted and joined my thread network when the firmware was updated. The (free) Eve app is excellent. I was a little dubious about just sticking the sensor on the door, but it works perfectly as there is little weight to the product. It's only a sensor, so you can decide what you want it to do. I can get a notification on my phone for open and close events. I can set times when I wish to receive those notifications, such as during the day when no-one should be home. It could be made to trigger other events, such as turn on a hall lamp when you enter. I only have one on the entrance to my apartment and It triggers pretty much instantly. That gives me peace of mind that all is well. I'll add motion sensors when Eve launch the thread versions. The possibilities multiply when you add further products.

Set up in seconds. So far so good. Replacing a Meross sensor which was cheaper but rubbish. Original Meross sensor and 2 replacements failed very quickly. Arrived earlier than expected too.

This is a great product, hugely improved by the addition of Thread - response times and battery life are significantly better than the previous Bluetooth-only version. WARNING: Make sure you check you’ve received the latest model though. The Amazon listing clearly states in the title and throughout the description, that this is supposed to be the Thread enabled version, which is only supported by the 3rd generation (2020 model) devices. I ordered two of these and both were the old 2nd gen (2017) versions. I had to return them as they will not support Thread. The 3rd gen ones will have EBN in the model number on the base of the box (and will likely have the Thread logo on the box).

The door sensor is very reliable and connects to a home hub through Thread (which is supposedly energy efficient). I bought the old version which was marketed for only Apple HomeKit. After adding it to the Eve app, it offered me an option to update the device to support Matter. This is nice as the Matter version cost about £10 more when I purchased it. Matter opens the device up to other smart home systems (e.g. Alexa and Google Home). All in all a great purchase with an option to swap smart home system in the future, and up to this point it has never missed another door events.

Ces capteurs ont bien fonctionné jusqu’à leur mise à jour pour passer à Matter/Thread. Il semble que le nouveau firmware ne soit pas au point... la mise à jour a rendu le capteur inopérant. Evidemment le gadget n’était plus sous garantie, expérience très décevante.

Tolle Kamera. Mit der Eve App einfachst einzurichten und hinzuzufügen. Fügt sich sofort zu Apple Home dazu. Funktioniert einwandfrei.

Simplicité d’installation, utilisation très ludique, paramétrages simple surtout avce la nouvelle norme Matter qui permet de bien communiquer entre les différentes plateformes ! Connexion sécurisé avec HomeKit pour les personnes qui utilisent Apple mais pas que ! Android aussi !! Très bon produit, Automatisation à l’ouverture ou fermeture d’une fenêtre ou porte, avec éclairage ou chauffage ventilation à paramétrer à activer ou simplement créer un système de protection au domicile ! Grande Marque qui évolue et propose plusieurs solutions Dans la domotique qui ne cesse de progresser ! Je conseil ses capteurs qui sont simple et qui durent dans le temps alimenté par une pile n’a pas besoin d’une alimentation au courant 230v.

Como todos los productos Eve, calidad asegurada. Fácil de instalar y emparejar con la aplicación Casa de Apple. De momento la batería aguanta un montón. Gracias a su conectividad Thread los avisos de apertura y cierre son prácticamente instantáneos. Por poner un pero, me gustaría que Eve añadiera alguna funcionalidad más a este tipo de sensores, como por ejemplo, sensor de temperatura, al igual que algunos productos de otras marcas ya que para lo que es, es un poco caro. Pero claro, la calidad hay que pagarla. No he optado por actualizar el producto a Matter, por lo que no puedo opinar al respecto. Realmente no lo necesito y no quiero experimentar hasta que Matter no esté bien desarrollado.

De software en hardware zijn soliede en werken altijd. Wel is 't plaatsen van de magneet wat onhandig met plastic spacers.
