Eve Door & Window (Matter) – Smart contact sensor for doors & windows

Set and forget reliability. Connected first time to my Apple Home network and has remained reliably connected for several months. Response times are quick when the door opens/closes and battery life is still at 100% after 3 months.

As a tenant, I've had my fair share of landlords who like to turn up anannounced or let themselves in when I am out, this door/window sensor provides me with an extra layer of comfort knowing when my front door has been opened or closed whilst I am not in. It's a small device that fits perfectly on the door and is super easy to set up and connect to my iPhone and Apple HomeKit system.

Absolutely fantastic. I have multiple of these and they work flawlessly.

Work as expected but a bit bulky for what this is and using an inconvenencial battery type.

I don't know if it's the app or the hardware, but I can tell you for certain the customer support sucks. Purchased, delivered, no problem. Opened, looks great. Added to home and tested - works fine... 30 seconds later and oops, unresponsive. Reset, restarted, re added to home, and boom, working fine... 30 seconds later... oops... unresponsive. Contacted support, 'you'll hear back in 24 hours!'... 5 working days later and I get questions I'd answered in the original question about my smart home system, and asking if I'd restarted them. Super frustrating. These are one of the pricier options for Apple Home door sensors, so I'd expected they would be solidly connected and we wouldn't have a problem, but no. I'm very disappointed in these. And before you jump to thinking that it's my home systems fault, I'd had an Aqara door sensor on both doors previously that had sadly lived out their lives - 3 years (give or take a year) - I though Eve would be an upgrade, but alas, back to Aqara I have gone, and a simlper life I do lead.

Works like a charm. Half the price of professional cameras and installation was cheaper too.

Good sensor

Purchased 3 of these new matter compatible devices, it appeared to tick all the boxes with privacy and google home integration and it looked much nicer than any others I had seen. However I failed at the first step after opening the box, I'm an iphone user (with google home, smart things, Smartlife app's) and all my home devices integrated with google and using nest mini's and hub max, but after hours and hours of trying different permutations I realised there was no way to step this up without having to fork out more money to purchase either more apple or android devices to make it work. It's a shame really, as I expected to set this up via Eve app and then add to google home like other devices, but no joy. Have returned back to Amazon in a hope that one day they will make it easier.

I bought EVE Window & Door in December 2023. Today is December 2024. IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM. I have had no problems at all since the purchase. I changed the battery for the first time in November 2024, so it should last at least a year. The EVE application also works. It is interesting to see how many times a day and for how long doors are opened or closed or how long family members have been away from home. I also have peace of mind during the holidays. I only had once problem with connection, but a quick reset fixed it. Just once. I use the Apple ecosystem and AppleTV is the hub.

Funciona muy bien con Apple Home y aunque soy consciente de que existen modelos más económicos, he repetido este, porque estaba muy contento con su funcionamiento en otra de las puertas. Es fácil de configurar y no falla! 👌

Installation einfach, funktioniert wie es soll, und fügt sich problemlos in eine Home Automation ein (in meinem Fall Apple Home mit Apple TV als Zentrale. Kriege Öffnungsmitteilungen aufs Handy, wenn ich nicht zu Hause bin (ist so eingestellt, geht auch anders).

Bardzo dobrze działa nic nie zrywa trochę droższy od innych firm ale za to bezproblemowy

More expensive than others, but you get what you paid for. These are smaller than other contact sensors I have. Responsive, using via Home Assistant connected to Google Nest Hub Max.
