Couldn’t find an entry here in the Homey Community Forum regarding Eve Energy Plug integration, but a solution by searching the internet. Maybe this information is useful for other Homey Pro and Eve Energy users.
Could just add an Eve Energy Plug which was already connected in Apple Home (HomeKit).
What was new for me is, that a Matter device, which is already paired in Apple Home, can generate a second pairing code for pairing with Homey Pro in my case.
The following Article does describe how to do this (in German):
Remark: This integration enables the power switching functionality, but NOT the energy monitoring. Unfortunately.
I successfully paired EVE Motion and Eve Door and Windows Sensors, using Matter for the setup on iOS.
Typically, Matter devices are already integrated with HomeKit through/Matter. You can verify this connection in the “Matter” section under Preferences > General > Matter devices.
I managed to establish a connection with both Homey Pro and HomeKit (5180, the assigned node for Homey). You don’t need to remove the device from HomeKit; it can coexist with both platforms. This dual linking capability proves to be usefull for Siri functionalities.
When the Photo Windows prompt appears, avoid using the Scan feature. Instead, click on the yellow sentence at the top (… more options), and all devices from HomeKit will be visible.
You have to add all devices, one by one. But it works very well. I don’t have the EVE Energy. Of course you have to migrate all of your EVE devices to Matter before.
Also good to read, for what I understand, The Situation on Thread and Matter will be better …
A “section” is currently absent in Homey to consolidate all Matter devices. In a Homey with multiple devices, locating them can be challenging due to the absence of a dedicated application.
I don’t understand why you would consolidate different Matter devices,
I put in the Webapp just Matter in the Search to find all Matter connected Devices.
Yes, I was also triggered by this article for the future version 10.3.0.
Currently I’m still on the official stable version 10.2.1. While researching I found the mentioned TomsSmarthome solution.
Let’s hope, that the stable version from Homey will support Energy metering with Eve Energy in future… That’s definitely a big wish for the future.
In the mean time I’m happy to be able to switch the plug in Homey at least and the metering is accessible in the Eve app till then.
Will added support of Matter 1.3 to Homey mean that the Eve Energy plugs will report their energy consumption right away? Or will it require an update to the Eve app first?
Only Athom can tell if an update to Matter 1.3 will support energy reporting (it’s part of the Matter 1.3 specification but it depends on Athom implementing those parts of the spec). Apps cannot provide specific device support for Matter (other than providing device icons), so an app update isn’t required.
Athom team - could you please give an update on Matter 1.3 roadmap plans? Energy monitoring is an important part of a Smart Home, and I am waiting for this before doing anything more (and presently regretting the investment in Eve Matter products).
