Eve Systems' adoption of the Matter protocol provides homeowner with an easy way to control three of its sensor products. Eve Systems, a global smart home company, has announced compatibility with Matter for three of its Thread-enabled smart home products.
The latest models of the smart plug Eve Energy (U.S. & Canada, Europe, U.K., and Australia), as well as the contact sensor Eve Door & Window and the motion sensor Eve Motion have completed Matter certification. As of December 12, iPhone users are now able to upgrade those devices for free in the Eve app to grant every family member local and direct access from their preferred smartphone or voice assistant.
“The next era of the smart home is here, and we can now invite users across all major ecosystems to the Eve experience,” says Jerome Gackel, CEO of Eve Systems.
“No matter what phone or assistant you are controlling your Eve product from, it will always deliver 100% privacy, a superior set of software features, and unparalleled ease of installation.”
The entire lineup of now 14 Thread-enabled Eve devices will receive free Matter firmware updates over time. Availability of Matter-certified Eve products in retail will start in the first quarter of 2023. The Eve app, which has been available exclusively for iOS, will be complemented by a sister version for Android in the same period.
