Eve Energy (Matter) 2 Pack – Smart Plug, App and Voice Control, 100% Privacy, Matter Over Thread, Works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, requires Thread Border Router

Works across multiple platforms
I’ve been using EVE devices for years and IMO they’re the best smart home devices/sensors available (you get what you pay for). The premium price is justified when considering the great customer support, ongoing firmware/feature improvements and a user friendly app . For example, Eve Energy updated firmware allows these devices to access Matter; with Matter users can now use multiple smart home controllers (Apple Home/Homekit, Alexa, and Google Home).No need to connect via slow & unreliable bluetooth, because connections use THREAD. Thread devices create a network of their own with superior range when compared to Bluetooth.Update: 11/29/23Purchased a 2 pack; the 1st unit installed without any problem, but the 2 unit kept giving me errors.• this device requires a hub OR• unable to locate device, you may need to restart the device.After resetting the device (instructions on resetting found in the included literature) for a 2nd time the install was successful…. Seems to be a firmware issue because the device went into a firmware upgrade as soon as it connected to my network.I still believe these are the best Smart plugs available, but like all technology, glitches happen.

Meh….
I have written several Eve smart home product reviews. I keep asking myself why I keep buying their smart home products as they are in my opinion some of the most overpriced and weakest performing products available on the market. They fall on the “works specifically with Apple Home” but this line is starting to become stale as a lot of other companies do as well and with Matter becoming more established Eve will soon have to come up with other marketing or dare I say; better products. I own smart plugs from companies like Aqara, Hue, and even the more outdated and less supported iHome. Eve’s smart plug under performs against all of these. Again, as I have stated in most of their products, Bluetooth is the problem with every one of them. It’s not reliable unless your Bluetooth device is around. As such, one will notice automations not occurring when they should. Eve offers a schedule ability for the plug in the app, but why buy a smart plug if you are going to use this feature when you can get a non-smart timer plug for way cheaper which have been around for decades now. What about the energy tracking? Other smart plugs do this but way better. First, the tracking is pointless especially when the information has no base comparison in the app. Also, I find all trackers on Eve devices to be inaccurate most of the time also, because the information is sent via Bluetooth to one’s wireless device you will open the app to only find gaps in the span of days which no tracking could take place. It’s a worthless gimmick in my opinion. Get an Aqara plug which has tracking that makes sense with no dropping of information during tracking. Yes, you will need a hub for the Aqara plug, but for the price of one Eve plug you can get an Aqara plug and hub for nearly the same. IHome plugs don’t need hubs and connect directly to WiFi. They work directly with Apple home and are very reliable. The only problem with iHome is availability and support which is why i can’t fully recommend them. Also, they don’t have energy tracking. Hue has a solid option that is reliable and cheap but only if you are invested in the Hue ecosystem as everything else Hue related is overpriced. So there you have it, go look to other sources. You will be disappointed with this product.

Love these plugs so much that I bought another pair, the first pair I’ve had for a couple of years now. All of the Eve devices I have had, when they’ve given me issues (it’s rare), are easily fixable. Most of the issues I’ve encountered had to do with the network router, and once that was rebooted, the devices would work properly again.

al parecer es un problema bastante común que no han solucionado, el que los conectes y después de unos dias dejen de funcionar sin que haya manera de volver a usarlos, muy común que aparezca el problema de que están sin respuesta y no haya manera de solucionarlo.
