Well, at least someone’s sticking to their Matter promises.
Smart home company Eve’s first out-of-the-box Matter-ready device is now available, as promised at CES. The Eve Energy with Matter smart plug is available today for $39.95, and the Eve Motion and Eve Door & Window sensors arrive on April 17th.
If you already have Eve products and didn’t indulge in Eve’s Early Access program, an optional firmware update is coming then, too. If you did gamble on the Beta, you’ll get a firmware update through Apple Home’s new over-the-air Matter update feature in iOS 16.4.
Eve’s Android app is still MIA, but Android users can onboard these Thread / Matter Eve devices using the Samsung SmartThings or Google Home apps.
Here’s what it’s like to use the first Matter devices in the real world
