Eve Door & Window - Apple HomeKit Smart Home Wireless Contact Sensor for Windows & Doors, Automatically Trigger Accessories & Scenes, App Notifications, Bluetooth/Thread, 3 Pack

Overall, I'm pleased with these sensors. They are responsive but that's probably due to my thread coverage. However, as another person has pointed out, desgin flaw.... I'll quote the user:"The problem is the flat battery cover. It has two ears that fit into two slots in the body of the sensor and there is insufficient clearance. It takes a ridiculous effort to close the cover unless you remove some material from the ears. If Eve was concerned about gravity pulling the sensor off the cover they should have just reversed the orientation."The flat battery cover makes it a challenge to access battery even prior to adhering to door frame so imagine the challenge once installed. This is a design flaw that i hope will be addressed in future releases.

Works very well once it is setup. It is easier to use Eve app for the initial setup and connecting to Home Kit. The Eve app also acts as a GUI front end for Home Kit . It alllows you to see and control most home kit accessories, and has a bettter layout

I had a number of eve HomeKit accessories in my house, all of which have worked perfectly since day one. Buying window/door sensors was a way to help with my inability to remember whether or not the garage door was closed. Now I can just ask Siri, even if I'm half-way to the store when I think about it. They work great and have excellent battery life.

I’ve used Eve products for a while. This is one of the best functioning products they offer at a pretty decent price point.Keep in mind this uses a pretty rare battery type which could get expensive to replace further down the road. You’re typically going to get between 1-2 years of battery out of them, but will then have to shell out close to $10 for each battery.I connected them all to my home hub via HomeKit. 1 sec delay at the most, pretty awesome! Consider setting an Apple TV or HomePod close to them as they work though Bluetooth instead of wifi... otherwise they won’t get any signal to send info back to. They do not need a hub to work with the Apple ecosystem which is awesome!All in all great purchase!

This is about the new Thread enabled units.The sensor triggers reliably and quickly although I've missed a small number of notifications. I blame that on Apple Home/HomeKit which may be unacceptable for some people.The problem is the flat battery cover. It has two ears that fit into two slots in the body of the sensor and there is insufficient clearance. It takes a ridiculous effort to close the cover unless you remove some material from the ears. If Eve was concerned about gravity pulling the sensor off the cover they should have just reversed the orientation.Despite this I'm keeping the sensors because they're almost certainly the best native Apple Home devices.The attached image shows the ears and slots. Note that the cover is a trapezoid so it only fits one way with the ridge on the bottom engaging the groove.

Very happy with this so far. Using to control a Hue bulb on what used to be unsafe dark steps in garage. You MUST UPGRADE firmware to latest version to get the sensor to work quickly with Homekit (threaded version). But once updated and automated with hue bulb, the light comes on instantly and I’m very pleased with speed. Small sensor is magnetic if you have a metal door. Includes 3m adhesive but I used Velcro on the sensor so it can be easily removed when battery needs replacement. Battery life is an unknown but willing to put up with the hassle if it keeps performing as it has so far. Nice addition to my growing list of HomeKit accessories.

Had all three installed in less than 15 minutes and connected to HomeKit! Thread makes it SUPER fast too!

The product basically is a pain to pair. It takes so many very frustrating attempts. Not straightforward at all as you would expect and as marketed. I lost 3 units after updating to Matter. Took ages to install the new firmware and 3 units simply do not work. After a dozen emails back and forth to support - they basically told me that there is nothing that they can do and will not replace the units and kind of just left it at that. Now I have 3 rubbish units on hand, just because I followed their instructions step-by-step. If you need a company that will have your back - look elsewhere.

I upgraded all of my contact sensors to this new version that work with the thread protocol.The batteries last much longer and they work flawlessly.Eve devices and their app are the best.What’s great is that the Eve app will detect and let you control other devices on your network such as HUE lights. The app’s automation feature lets you create scenes, triggers and rules for all you connected devices.It’s much more versatile than Apple’s Home app

Ya con estos sensores no es necesario gastar en una alarma llena de cables y controles remotos. Si estas dentro del ecosistema de apple es una excelente opción para armar una alarma casera altamente confiable.

Estos sensores son sencillos de colocar, se pegan con pegamento 3M, y hay forma de nivelar ambos sensores de tal forma que sea lo más conveniente según la puerta o ventana, permite tener notificaciones de cada que se abre o cierra una puerta / ventana, permite encender luces o hacer sonar una alarma.Para integrarlo en HomeKit es necesario tener un hub, ya sea un iPad, un Apple TV o HomePod, cuenta con una opción para actualizar al nuevo estándar Thread, lo cual no he hecho hasta encontrar retroalimentación positiva en Reddit.El único inconveniente que encontré es que es complicado desmontar el sensor para sustituir la batería una vez colocada, además es una batería legará 1/2 AA.

Kit was previously installed as all the 6 double-face tape have been installed and remove and one magnet is missing. How can this go thru quality control in returns and shipped again to customer ?

Lo únicos sensores que he probado para ventanas y puertas, bastante funcionales. Incluye todo para que el sensor pueda detectar correctamente aún cuando no está bien cuadrada la puerta.
