Eve Energy (Matter) 2 Pack – Smart Plug, App and Voice Control, 100% Privacy, Matter Over Thread, Works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings, Requires Thread Border Router

I replaced four Wemo smart plugs with four Eve Energy (Matter) plugs, and the difference is night and day. These are, without question, the easiest and most reliable smart home accessories I’ve ever set up. Finally, “Matter” makes a difference. I live fully in the Apple ecosystem, so HomeKit is my control center. Setup was almost laughably simple: I removed the old Wemo plugs from HomeKit, plugged in the Eve Energy plugs, scanned the Matter QR code with my iPhone, gave each plug a name—and that was it. All four were set up and working in about five minutes total. Performance is excellent. Where my Wemo plugs took a few seconds to respond, the Eve plugs are instant. More importantly, they’ve been rock-solid after power outages. I live in rural upstate New York and deal with frequent outages due to wind, rain, and snow. My Wemo plugs only reconnected about half the time after power was restored, often requiring furniture to be moved and a frustrating re-pairing process. So far, after two outages (including a brief power blip that always broke the Wemos), all four Eve plugs came back online immediately and worked perfectly. These Matter plugs clearly benefit from a proper “border router.” I have several HomePod minis and Apple TVs (recent generations), and I suspect having multiple hubs around the house helps everything work so smoothly. I can’t comment on performance without a border router, but if you’re an Apple household, you likely already have one. As a bonus, I downloaded the free Eve app after setup and was pleasantly surprised. It neatly organized all my smart devices into clean, easy-to-use groupings and can even act as a central control app if you want. I’ll continue using HomeKit for now, but the Eve app is excellent. It also shows energy usage per plug—not something I personally need, but a nice extra. I’ve been using smart home devices for years, and it’s genuinely refreshing to finally find something that works exactly as promised. If your home setup is similar to mine, stop shopping and buy these. They just work.

This plug from the same brand impressed me again. Onboarding was amazingly smooth. SmartThings added it flawlessly. Alexa recognized it and set it up right away. Google Home Hub struggled at first, likely because of shared admin rights with SmartThings and how devices were assigned. My Hub also seems to need a firmware update to fully support Matter over Thread, so I expect that to improve. Note that it requires a Thread Border Router. The plug is super responsive and stable. Energy monitoring works well, though it is a single meter for the whole plug. The green status LED is quite bright and there is no way to dim or turn it off. In Google Home it showed up as a plug with an energy meter, and after a refresh it stayed that way. Minor annoyance, not a deal breaker. Overall, a great smart plug with fast setup and fast response. I appreciate the privacy focus. I would buy it again.

I’ve been happy with the Apple HomeKit compatible Meross AC plugs for several years I’ve used them but recently they just stopped connecting. I assumed they just were designed and capable of Matter, so I researched Eve and discovered they were Matter compatable and found they are much simpler to install and more reliable and about the same cost. So far I’m very happy with my decision

I had Wemo switches, but they haven’t been all that reliable. They would just stop working after some time. So what’s the use of having a switch that doesn’t work when you need them. These are much more reliable than the Wemo switches. They are also have really good privacy. You don’t even have to register any info with the company to start using them. They don’t really support Alexa or Google out of the box directly, but you can add on Matter support which will supposedly allow you to connect to those other services. Since Matter support with various manufacturers is on the new side, don’t know how good the support is yet. haven’t tried it, since I’m just decided to stick with HomeKit with threads. I just recently upgraded to the latest AppleTV which supports thread and it works much faster compared to my older AppleTV that didn’t have thread support. With threads, the more devices you add, the more better your communication is between them. It’s supposed to be more stable since if one device fails, another device will take over as the master and everything else will continue to work. I love that it has energy monitoring and is able to tell you how much watts your device is currently using. And shows how much you electricity you will using over the year. It’s also much more energy efficient than my older wifi plugs. Their app is OK, it could use some improvement, some of the settings are kind of buried too low and makes it hard to find, like names of device and adding favorites. You can have groups, but you can’t set a schedule for a group. You have to set them up individually for each item in a group, which is a pain. The group more for HomeKit where you can just tell Siri to turn on a particular group. It also just shows up as a single item within HomeKit, as opposed to the Eve app which you can still see all the individual items. One thing that the Eve app as well as Apple HomeKit cannot do is automatically turn off a device after a period of time when it’s turned on. That was one feature that Wemo was able to do. That way if you want to automatically turn off a device after it’s been left on for a period of time, you could a set a rule or automation to do that. Overall a great product that is energy efficient and has great privacy built in.

Works reliably so far. Only con is that it is large.

Las puedes prender y apagar vía internet, así que para son indispensables

Eve Energy is the Gold Standard of smart plugs. They are a little more expensive than some of their competitors but well worth it! If privacy is important to you, Eve is the line of smart home devices that you need as no information is stored in the cloud. Another trick it has up its sleeve is that it does scheduling right on the device as well as your smart home platform. Eve energy, supports thread, and matter right out of the box. I’m a little disappointed that they no longer support HomeKit right out of the box. Eve exposes more information in HomeKit than they do with matter.

Estos enchufes son muy prácticos y sencillos de configurar, además de automatizar encendido y apagado, pueden proteger equipos por hasta 1800 whats. Adicional a la protección y automatización, permite monitorear el consumo de energía de los dispositivos conectados. Lo recomiendo.

al parecer es un problema bastante común que no han solucionado, el que los conectes y después de unos dias dejen de funcionar sin que haya manera de volver a usarlos, muy común que aparezca el problema de que están sin respuesta y no haya manera de solucionarlo.
