I got one of the Eve light switches, even recommended on this site, but I don’t see how to connect it to the homey pro. It’s thread, but not matter. Anyone have setup instructions for the Eve light switch?
Looks like homey only supports thread over matter, so the Eve light switch won’t connect. Are there multiple eve light switches? The ones in the EU different from the US ones?
I can’t get my head around the best buy guide recommending Thread only devices
This kb article says clearly you cannot use Thread only devices with Homey. But clearly we’re missing something
The “Best Buy Guide” is clearly wrong. Frustrating.
Well, I don’t know if we missed a piece of info or anything.
@Doekse Sorry to bother you, but do you have information on how to pair a Thread only best buy device with the Pro 2023?
Documentation says No
It seems that we have indeed made a mistake here. The Eve Light Switch is Thread only, it doesn’t support Matter over Thread. Homey Pro (at this time) only supports Matter over Thread.
Sorry for the inconvenience, we’ll update the article accordingly.
Ah, I see. Thanks 4 quick reply!
I’ve seen other devices with the Thread logo as well btw
Thanks for the warning! I have just checked and it looks like two Onvis units are also on the list. I’ve passed on the feedback internally
Even for us, Matter and Thread can be a bit confusing at times
To go back to the first question, our confusion came from this page on the CSA website. It states that an Eve Light Switch should be Matter compatible, but it doesn’t seem to be the one we’re linking to.
I’ve asked the Eve team for clarification.
I have both the Eve light switch and the Radiator values with I would like to connect to Homey.
Both are on the CSE website and indicated as Matter device.
Did you get any response from the Even team on this matter?
Eve launched a new Light Switch that’s Matter enabled, the ‘old’ one will remain Homekit only.
For Eve Thermo a Matter update hasn’t been announced (yet) unfortunately.
