Eve for Matter & HomeKit app good for
I use the app with "Eve Room" only. Everything works well. Link is good. Data goes in every 10 minutes.
App would be even better if we had the possibility to print weekly or monthly reports.
This app does everything I need it to. It show the temp on my eve sensors and allows me to adjust brightness of my nightlight. Supports all HomeKit devices and its free! Eve just needs to work on their devices (Bluetooth much slower than wifi).
Great update! This app has so much potential and I hope to see further enhancements in the future. Thank You for this update.
Setup was amazing in how crisp it is including automagically integrating via HomeKit. I am just starting out with an Eve Weather and after setting it up which took nearly 1 minute (the "difficult" part was realizing the batteries needed to be installed). As soon as it was enabled and I approved HomeKit which also required I use iCloud Keychain (I thought I had already enabled it months ago when I actives my new 6s+ at the time).
Adding others to have access to Eve Weather was just as simple but honestly the logical thing is it Apple automatically enabled family members that I have via iCloud Family Sharing. Still it was simple enough. You can add/invite via the Eve app or via HomeKit in Settings.
The whole thing is so wonderfully simple I feel like I must be missing something. Now Im lusting for either an Eve Room or perhaps even dumping my Nest Thermostat (v2) which seems like a dinosaur not having HomeKit and lacking features that EcoBee3 or other new HomeKit enabled thermostats have. I hoped I would be able enable triggers and conditions with Eve/HomeKit and its all super easy and accessible via the Eve app as its fully integrated with HomeKit.
I dont have any Elgato products (yet!) but this app works with my Hue lights and is much better than the app Hue offers. So easy to set up scenes and integrate multiple rooms. Very impressed!!
This now adjusts the air pressure from Eve Weather based on an elevation setting, which fixes my main complaint about it. Its a really nice device!
Some bad moments
The biggest request: Connect Eve Rooms temperature with Eve Thermo! I spent a lot of money on both devices and they cant communicate,even tho there are in the same app?
Also: Eve Energy needs a time schedule functionality so a lamp can turn on at a certain time. The app is ok, with lots of room for improvement tho. All the products work great and reliable!
This app is for the use of its hardware units which are all absolute junk! I have the Eve Room Sensor, Eve Weather Station and Eve Door and Window Sensor. None of these consistently stay connected. In fact, they are more often disconnected than connected. I usually cannot get them to sync with my iPhone at all -- even the whole Siri thing just totally stopped working altogether a few weeks ago. An incredible waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS OR YOU WILL BE VERY SORRY YOU DID!!!
Doesnt work anymore. Was using it with philips hue and was working great but it suddenly stopped working and its just telling me to check my connection, even though the philips hue app is working fine with the hub.
Please fix
Useless thing, i cant pair my eve room sensor to my iphone - app says "cannot connect..." Not recommended to buy.
One problem I found is that it wont work without turning on iCloud keychain. I dont know why that is necessary.
Another problem is that it doesnt say what is causing poor air quality. It usually says my air quality is excellent, but sometimes it goes all the way to poor, for no apparent reason. My Withings scale measures CO2, so I put it next to the Eve for comparison. The Withings CO2 level seems to remain constant.
Actions vanish without notice.
Eve cannot tell that it already successfully installed firmware upgrades and tries the same release # every time it runs.
Do you bother to test this crap or do you think you are Microsoft and it is ok to release alpha software to the public?
