Eve Weather (Matter) – Smart Weather Station for Temperature, Humidity, Weather Trend, IPX4 Water Resistance, Display, Wireless, Siri Voice Access, Requires Thread Border Router

I really want to like this station a ton... there are a few issues that i wish were smoother. The display is somewhat hard to read if you’re not straight on. I knew it wasn’t a bright LED screen, but it’s tough to read if you’re off angle or too far away. However, it’s real strength is the ability to get data in HomeKit and the Eve app. The logged data is really nice. The other quibble is Bluetooth strength. Until I get Thread hooked up, I was expecting connectivity to be ~OK from about 20 ft. Unfortunately, it’s not, though admittedly signal has to go through a 4 inch brick wall. I have to put my phone almost next to the device to get readings and data. I need Thread ASAP! I am putting one up in the attic, too, to keep tabs on stored items and high summer temps. Device is well made, attractively smallish, and hopefully durable! UPDATE after ~9 moths of use: Once I installed a HomePod mini, this little device has been flawless! Clearly, thread is a key to make this unit connect reliably, download logged data, and provide exactly what I've needed in my two installed locations. I was a bit worried about the one in the attic (temps up to ~135°F), but it has been rock solid. My recommendation is to make sure you have a thread border router (HP Mini or AppleTV) in your system, and then enjoy!

This thing is a little on the pricy side but it feels REALLY well built. I used it outside to run temperature based Apple HomeKit automations.

[updated another 6 months later] Eve sent me a replacement unit which worked as expected….for 6 months. One day it just disappeared off my network (last reading showed 85% battery left. After some troubleshooting it turned out that I did have a bad battery so the battery level reporting on these things is not remotely accurate. I would just plan to replace the battery every 6 months when it just disappears and stops reporting data. Eve also promised a firmware update for Eve Weather to support Matter (one of the biggest reasons I chose this device over others) a year ago and has not yet delivered. Given the price of these things I expected a product with the basics like battery level reporting to work and software updates to be delivered in a timely manner. It’s cool that it supports Thread and is wireless, but there are some other solutions out there that can do what this does at half the price - they’re not as sleek and compact but they work. [updated 5 months later] A few weeks ago the device got kind of flaky and would drop off the network and reappear. Eventually it died. I contacted support wh suggested replacing the battery. I informed them that the battery level indicator had been showing 100% but support said try it anyway. I did and it started working again. Apparently the battery indicator is not working right now and is not to be believed. Eve Engineering is aware and working on a software fix. I was a bit disappointed that the battery lasted only 5 months. We’ll see how long it NEW battery lasts. The documentation says a battery should last 1 year. So..1 star off for non working battery indicator and possibly shorter battery life than advertised. Matter support is still planned for “later this year” [original review] Although not “officially” supported I was able to get this weather station working with Home Assistant. You do need a thread border router and HomeKit to get it primed but just for initial setup. 1) First pair with HomeKit (this is required add the device to your thread network). Press button on back and put it on your Apple TV. Follow pairing directions. 2) Once you can see it in HomeKit and the Eve app, delete it from HomeKit. Unless you reset it, it will remain on your Thread network even if deleted from Homekit. 3) Press (do not hold) the button on the back and then look for the Weather Station in your devices in Home Assistant (it will appear as a Homekit device). I had to put it on top of my Apple TV too. 4) Add it via Homekit Controller add-on to Home Assistant. Done. Things to keep in mind: As of right now the Eve app only works with Homekit so all the stuff you get in the app like hyperlocal forecasting and firmware updates will not work - it will have to be re-paired with Homekit for firmware updates. Eve Weather Station runs on Thread but DOES NOT support Matter yet. Eve promised it’s coming via firmware update but as of right now it uses Homekit over Thread so Home Assistant is able to use it via Homekit add-on NOT Matter. So yes it works, you do lose some cloud based functionality but if you want all local with no dependency on cloud and no data leakage then this will work.

Worked fine for about six months, kept it on my balcony per instructions. Then it stopped connecting. I noticed a water bubble inside the display, clearly water had gotten inside causing the connection to fail. This should not happen on a product designed to be kept outside. I contacted Eve customer service in Germany, they acknowledged it was a 'faulty unit' however they claim there is nothing they can do since I purchased the product from Amazon.

Works great! Nice App and HomeKit compatibility. I have it mounted near the eave of the roof so it's always in the shade. The high temps are always a tad higher that official weather station reports, but it always matches a separate temp sensor on the other side of the house, so I feel it's accurate. It's been working for a few years and replaced the battery two or three times.

Since upgrading our HVAC system to a fancy multi staged Daikin and their proprietary thermostat, we had to say goodbye to the Nest thermostat and it’s temp sensors : ( I purchased 3 decently rated temp/humidity sensors to compare - this QingPing model, the Eve Weather, and the cheapest SensorPush. Price - the Eve was the most expensive at $70, the SensorPush at $50, and the QingPing at $30. Huge range here which matters a lot since we intend on buying 7 or 8 sensors. Aesthetics - the QingPing wins hands down. It’s a sleek matte white and the e-ink display is pretty incredible, easily readable even in very low light (though not backlit which is fine). The Eve display is garbage - horizontal and vertical viewing angles are terrible, and the display contrast is so bad it’s hard to read even when viewing head-on. The SensorPush has no display, which wasn’t a required feature. Compatibility - Both Eve and QingPing worked natively with HomeKit as advertised, the SensorPush has its own app and while it’s fast I wished there was at least a HOOBS plug-in to expose it to HomeKit - alas, there is not. Pretty solid deal-breaker for SensorPush. Pairing / Connection - All 3 sensors paired very quickly without issue with my iPhone 13. All 3 also updated readings (either in-app or in Apple HomeKit) within a second or two. 3 way tie. Accuracy - This was the most surprising to me - all 3 devices had temp and humidity readings very tightly clustered, it was our Daikin thermostat whose readings were a few points off from the rest. I will call this an even tie since all 3 devices were within a percentage or two of each other. Range - We have powerful wifi and multiple devices that can function as HomeKit hubs so I encountered no range issues with the QingPing even though it is only Bluetooth. The SensorPush and Eve had great wifi connections anywhere in our large home even in the basement. Overall I’m pleasantly surprised with the QingPing and it’s design, performance and especially price. Will be buying more of these to replace our Nest temp sensors. Sorry Eve!

So I am a bit of a home weather station geek with several different ones from different brands, Accurite, Ambient Weather, Sensor Push and even an old Oregon Scientific. Each have their merits. I got the eve to try it out and because I though it looked pretty cool. And I have not been disappointed. Really at all. When I first got it several months ago I had an iPhone 6 running ios12 so the eve app would not run on my phone. However I had an iPad running iOS 14 so I set it up on that. It uses the home app and it's pretty cool. The software interface is intuitive and easy to use and the sensor itself is very elegantly designed. Both are easy to read and understand and best of all proved to be among the more accurate of all my devices! So great little gadget, great gift, highly recommended for a simple remotely accesible temp/hygrometer barometric trend indicator. Go ahead and see for yourself, get one!

I bought this to monitor my bioactive frog enclosure. I wanted something I could connect to HomeKit so I could set up automations based on temperature and humidity. The Eve was easy to set up and has been almost maintenance-free (other than battery replacement). The Eve has been in the enclosure for over a year now and has held up really well. I put a suction cup on the back of it to get it to stick to the glass. The frogs sometimes crawl on it or knock it down, but other than getting the Eve a little schmutzt-y, it’s fine. Overall, I’m really happy with the purchase.

Działa już rok czas. Wszystkie parametry mierzy poprawnie. Działa z home kit

Très satisfait - agréable de suivre la température extérieure - très précis Un bémol la distance entre le smartphone et le thermomètre est assez faible

lo compre en oferta y de momento funciona genial en el entorno de Appel

Works very good with Apple home

Had this product for 7 months. Had to reset twice Used 3 batteries Wasn’t accurate. Kept losing contact. Finally just stopped working. Might have been a dud but disappointing.
