Eve Door & Window (Matter) 3 Pack – Smart Contact Sensor for Doors & Windows, Open/Closed State, Automatic Control of Accessories, Matter Over Thread, Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings

I've got HomePod Minis and Eve Energy devices so I'm using the Eve Door & Window with thread. They come with plenty of spacers to adjust the non-battery powered passive part of the contact sensor. So depending on your door or whatever, most people should find a way to make these work. The battery cover is hard to install and feels like you're forcing it on -- so I'm concerned that battery replacement might be frustrating. So try to be sure there's a way to remove the active sensor from the battery door, which is done by sliding away the sensor body. Those are the only negative things I can say about these devices. Importantly, the both my Window and Door contact sensors already had the new Thread firmware (purchased in July 2021). So I did not need to upgrade their firmware. At first when I added an Eve contact sensor, it didn't trigger automations reliably. So I rebooted all my Eve Energy and HomePod devices. Since then they've been working flawlessly, every time, and near instantly. I have one contact sensor that turns on the hallway lights when the closet doors are opened, and turns them off when closed. I have another sensor on a slider that we only open up to let fresh air in. So I set up an automation to put our Ecobee into away mode to keep the AC or heat from turning on when we have the windows open. They've been extremely fast, triggering within a second of opening or closing. By using the Eve app I can see that so far these contact sensor Thread end-points are relaying their activity to an Eve Energy thread router that is about 30-40 feet away with several walls. That's impressive range and I'm surprised they're not routing through closer HomePod Minis or NanoLeaf Essentials bulbs. I plan on buying more of these devices soon as I can think of more practical, life improving things to do with them :-)

I have many of these sensors that I've purchased over the past few years. I keep buying them because they function as expected. Their response time in logging is good. ease of install? Matter makes installing and adding these devices to Apple Home super easy. As far as durability, I dropped a sensor and now the toggle for reset is no longer aligned with the tiny hole in back. Overall, I'm happy with all my Eve Home products.

Tried to setup on Thread via new Apple TV 4K, unable to setup via iPhone 12 Pro for about few hours. In the end had to use latest iPad mini to scan the QR code and add to HomeKit. So I wonder if it was Apple software bug. Post setup everything works as expected. Just wished more features were available on HomeKit. Such as integration with other apps on eve notifications similar to ifttt.

Won’t connect at all. Was only able to get 1 to work. Really disappointed in them

I’ve never experienced any hiccups or disconnections from my thread network using this contact sensor. Reliability is more than good. I think what needs to be understood is the placement of the border router/mains thread router devices.. With that being said, sticking the sensor on certain door frames is tricky because of its chunkiness. It’s chunky! The included spacers are helpful but…….wow…..they make the aesthetics very very very unpleasant if you have to use the spacers. However, I forget about it how ugly it is and am happy with the reliability and battery life. Lastly, replacing the batteries is insanely difficult, and this could break or make a purchase in my opinion…..

Work well and easy to set up with Apple HomeKit as are all other Eve products

Bought these to replace two old sensors of the same model that quit working after 4 years. One of the three in the new package also wouldn’t work. Performing a reset doesn’t make any difference. Use them with Apple HomeKit which seems to work okay. Only purchased them again so I wouldn’t have to change the mounting hardware and I don’t have time to research and adopt a different solution before departing the remote location where I use them. Will start researching a better solution for monitoring door open/close status for use when these fail.

I had these set up first, through homekit. Due to some issues with homekit and my current set up, I determined to use Alexa devices as the hub (and connect it to homekit as well). Sensors work great, I just wish they would come up with a better design for replacing the battery. In some places, I had to remove the whole sensor, clean where it was, clean the bottom of the sensor, and then use my own tape in order to reattach it. This was due to me having to reset the devices to switch to alexa as the primary hub.

Loved this item as it really works well when the door opens and closes .. i used it for my room door when i travelled
