Eve Launches Matter-Enabled Eve Weather Smart Station

by

Smart home company Eve Systems today announced the launch of a new version of the Eve Weather that offers Matter support. With Matter, the new Eve Weather can be added to HomeKit or smart home setups from other companies.

eve weather
Eve Weather is a small cube-shaped accessory that is designed to provide outdoor weather temperature, humidity, and the local 12-hour weather trend. A display at the front allows you to see temperature and humidity at a glance, but the data also syncs to the Eve app.

With ‌HomeKit‌ integration, Siri can be used to provide details on the outdoor weather conditions, and the data can be used to trigger ‌HomeKit‌ automations. Eve Weather offers IPX4 water resistance so it can be kept outdoors year-round and displayed anywhere.

Eve Weather can be purchased from the Eve website or from Amazon.com for $80. Eve is continuing to sell the ‌HomeKit‌ version of the device as well for those who do not have a Matter-enabled hub, which includes the HomePod and latest Apple TV.

Eve reading the market with Project 2025 threatening to cut the National Weather Service.

I have a Netatmo weather station with the additional indoor modules and it is bullet proof. I returned the previous version of the Eve Weather because I realized after I purchased it that it only worked at temperatures above -18 C. In fact, the Weather I tried froze up at temperature well above -18 C. Unfortunately, the operating temperatures of this new Weather hasn't improved. If you live in any of the northern States or Canada, it's useless. Pass.

Unless I am missing something, the hardware hasn't changed at all. The older model will receive a Matter support via firmware upgrade, so this looks to be just a repackaging.

I find all Eve accessories to be garbage. They fail frequently and their customer support in Europe is dire. I have four Eve energy sockets in a drawer along with an old style Eve Weather unit, and my wife bought me the newer style Eve Weather as a gift. It works, but it's pretty crappy.

If you want decent gear, use a Meross socket and a Netatmo weather station if you want proper weather monitoring. It's obviously more expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Overall, I would avoid all Eve products. They are overpriced paperweights.
I really disagree; Eve products have been completely reliable in my smart home setup. This includes multiple Eve Energy units, multiple motion sensors, 2 Door and Window sensors, and their HomeKit Secure Video outdoor camera.

I only use Matter over Thread where possible, and have several HomePods as border routers. That might help. But general unreliability of smart home products over the years has now made Eve an easy first choice for me.

I have an Eve Room and found it to be super high quality and reliable… so this device is interesting…

But I’ve heard good things about Netatamo 🤔

the Netatmo welcome cameras are great value (even if they seem to sell the same hardware now for more than ten years)
It's still dependant on cloud services. I'm still looking a full featured camera or doorbel that can run completely local.
I mean, there are thermostat systems where the heating/cooling schedules just stop working when the internet is down - that is just stupid.

Actually, I would like to see a local iCloud OS from Apple. For example, take a Mac mini M3 or faster that can do all functions of iCloud in but on the local network, storing all the data on a local NAS. It could also work as a local copy of the online iCloud. That would certainly speed up the experience at home for those that have slow DSL.
