I’m considering buying Eve Home sensors (I have a Eve Home Water Guard that has been rock-solid, but doesn’t support Matter) to connect to Homey Pro 2023 (I have Apple TV 4K for the thread-network until Homey Pro starts supporting that).
Has anyone experience from this and can say how well, if at all, it works? Having been burnt a bit on the state of Zigbee (Aqara) I thought I would ask before buying sensors this time…
Hi.
Curious did you buy / integrate the Eve Home sensors? I can’t find an Eve App but they should integrate with Matter OK I think.
Interested in where you got to.
Thanks
No, not yet at least. I ended up trying some other Zigbee sensors (Cleverio) which seems to work well and was about a third of the price of the Eve sensors.
I tried eve motion. After 30 tries to connect one motion sensor I succeeded…the second one is not connectable. So homey doesn’t work properly with matter and eve
I connected one door sensor from eve purely with matter (skipping installing eve app) and it works normally. 10 more to go but has issues with proper mounting to window that’s why they are not yet installed
I am thinking of purchasing eve water guard. For eve products that have matter and/or thread, we don’t need an app correct? Anyone had issues with reliability or connectivity with Eve water guard or products connecting via matter protocol?
Also, Eve Water Guard doesn’t support Matter. It does communicate over thread and works with iOS but lacks the Matter support according to their product pages.
No, water leak sensors were introduces in Matter 1.3 (source), it’s just that Homey doesn’t have full Matter 1.3 support (Athom seems to prioritise support for devices that parent company LG makes).
