Description:
Alongside the outlet are smart blinds that instantly close if the sun
is high and a wall switch to control your lights.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Smart home brand Eve is slated to kick off 2024 with the launch of
three new Matter -supporting gadgets including its first in-wall
outlet.
The company does currently sell smart plugs , but the Eve Energy
Outlet, as its called, wont have the big brick jutting out as itll be flush with the wall. Its meant to be the more permanent solution. According to the announcement , itll allow users to remotely control
and access other Matter devices on their home network via the app or through voice commands. Each receptacle can be automated individually
so people can create scenes and automation that best suit their needs.
There is a catch with this device, however. While it does let people monitor and control their energy consumption, you can only do so on
either the Eve app on iOS or Samsungs SmartThings app. As TheVerge
points out , you wont be able to monitor your energy consumption on
other platforms like Google Home .
Something to keep in mind about the Eve Energy Outlet is that it uses
the T hread wireless protocol meaning it requires both a Thread border router and a Matter controller to connect to a home network. Finding
the right supporting hardware can be tricky. So to help users out, the company has a guide on its website listing out the best controllers
for specific smart home ecosystems. Controlling the lights
Next, there is the Eve Light Switch which will let you control the
light bulbs in your house either through the mobile app or by voice commands. On iOS, users can set up schedules for when the lights
should automatically turn on or off. No word on whether the company
will bring this function to the Android app .
Then we have the Eve Blinds Collection. These, as the name suggests,
are shades custom-made to fit the window frames in your house. The
product will support the brands Adaptive Shading tech giving them the ability to automatically close according to the position of the sun.
The fabric used in the collection will be available in a
semi-transparent or blackout with special insulating properties to
help you save on energy. Availability
The Blinds Collection will come out on February 1st in the United
States and Germany on the official Eve Store. After that, the Energy Outlet will become available for purchase from the same online store
as well as Amazon for $49.95 beginning February 6th. The Light Switch
will go on sale for $49.95 sometime in the second quarter of 2024. An exact date was not given.
We reached out to Eve for clarification on certain details. Its
unknown how much the blinds will cost although if we had to take a
guess, the final price will probably depend on the size of a window
frame. Additionally, we dont know if there are plans to launch international versions of the outlet or the switch. This story will be updated at a later time.
