The current version of Eve Aqua supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only thing you need is a home hub (Thread border router). Battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Aqua, represent endpoints in your Thread network.
By contrast, mains-powered Thread accessories that are always on, such as Eve Energy, Eve Light Switch or Eve Water Guard, can act as router nodes within your Thread network and relay data packets. So, the more of these Full Thread Devices (FTDs) you have in your network, the more stable and greater its reach becomes. Learn more
Eve Aqua’s standard 26.5 mm / ¾" thread fits virtually any regular outdoor faucet. When fitting Eve Aqua, screw it all the way on to the faucet using your fingers. Ensure it fits securely and that no water escapes even when the valve is shut.
Adding HomePod mini or the newest Apple TV to your home means Thread-enabled Eve accessories such as Eve Aqua can communicate via Thread – the mesh network that reaches even the farthest corners of your abode. This happens automatically without you needing to configure anything. Simply position a Full Thread Device, such as Eve Energy, as close as possible to your Eve Aqua. The Eve Energy accessory will then act as a Thread hub and relay data packets from Eve Aqua.
In the Settings section of the Eve app, you can view the structure of your thread network under "Thread network" and identify potential for improvement: Which node is Eve Aqua talking to? Can the stability and range be improved with another node, e.g. another or better placed Eve Energy?
Once set up, Eve Aqua works completely autonomously. It’s entirely up to you if you want to use the HomeKit automation and remote access functions that require a home hub.
Yes, standard threads on both connectors, a hose adapter, and a pressure range of Min 1 bar / Max 5 bar ensure compatibility with any common irrigation equipment.
While Eve Aqua is weatherproof and UV resistant, you should prevent it from freezing up, just like your hoses and sprinklers.
Using a water flow meter (starting at USD $20) is the most convenient way. Alternatively, use a measuring bucket to collect a minute’s worth of water from each outlet in your system.

Avoid Wi-Fi access points that connect through Powerline/PowerLAN as they are also known to impact Bonjour.
Eve Outdoor Cam has to be mounted in an upright position with the camera's microphone and speaker array facing downwards in order to prevent water damage.
Eve Outdoor Cam has been designed to be mounted directly on a wall. Unless your electrical junction box has screw channels with 60 mm / 2.36 in clearance (center to center), you may need an extra light fixture mounting bracket (not included). (North America)
Eve Play
Eve Play
Use a paper clip or similar object to press the reset button.
- Download and open the Eve app, then tap on "Add accessory". If Eve is already installed, open settings and add Eve Play there.
- To ensure that content is played simultaneously and synchronously on all AirPlay output devices, the setup wizard in Eve offers an Audio Sync option, plus the option to manually adjust the delay.
- On the iPhone or iPad: Open Control Center, tap on "AirPlay" in the control group at the top right and select Eve Play.
- On a Mac with Apple Music: Open the Music app, click on "AirPlay" in the playback controls, select Eve Play.
- On a Mac with another app: Select "Control Center" in the menu bar, click on "AirPlay" under "Sound" and select Eve Play.
Eve Play plays music on existing audio components to which it can be connected in analog or digital form. These include amplifiers, AV receivers, active speakers or soundbars, but not passive speakers.
Eve Play outputs audio signals passively at LINE level. For optimum results, set the volume on the transmitting device to the maximum level and select a suitable input on the audio components, usually AUX IN or LINE IN, if available also CD IN or TAPE IN.
Eve Play is designed exclusively as a receiver and playback device for AirPlay content sent via an iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV. Eve Play cannot send audio signals from external sources (such as record players) via AirPlay, Bluetooth, or other transmission channels.
Audio content can only be transmitted to Eve Play via AirPlay. The audio output quality is controlled by AirPlay, which usually results in a playback in 16-bit/44.1 kHz. If the AirPlay source delivers signals in higher quality, Eve Play can also process these – however, this is specified by the device that is transmitting via AirPlay.
Every audio component requires a certain amount of time to process and output audio signals. Eve Play can incorporate this latency from underlying components to enable synchronized playback with HomePod or other AirPlay speakers.
This level can be determined automatically and adjusted manually in the Eve Play device settings in the Eve app. For automatic detection, a series of test tones are played back via the connected component. These test tones are recorded via the microphone on the top of Eve Play and the latency is calculated.
During automatic detection, please ensure that the microphone is not covered, and that Eve Play is in the immediate vicinity of the output speakers so that the test tones can be detected. If the detection fails, please increase the volume of your amplifier or other connected components and make sure that there is no other interference during the audio sync.

- Press the reset button on the back of the Eve Room (2018) with an open paper clip for 10 seconds.
- Now let the Eve Room charge for a few hours.
Eve Room will determine a room’s air quality by contrasting a certain tVOC count against optimal conditions. Calibrating the sensor requires that you place Eve Room in different locations; one with ambient conditions and another that is exposed to fresh air. After the initial setup, place Eve Room in its future location for about 6 hours, then move it to a well-ventilated area for 30 minutes. Repeat this calibration process if you move the sensor to a different room.
If you want to restart the calibration process, you 1st need to remove the Eve Room from your home, hard reset it and pair it again to Eve app in order to start the calibration mode.
Eve Room uses state-of-the-art technology to provide near-exact measurements. Accuracy is ± 0.3 °C / ± 0.54 °F, ± 3% humidity. The gas sensor combines multiple sensing elements with long-term durability that is unprecedented for a commercially available product.
You’ll need the Eve app to process measurements recorded by Eve Room in a spreadsheet on your iOS device or computer. Double-tap a graph, select Measurements in the new screen, and tap the share icon to access the export function. Export creates an .xlsx file, so you can even use it in Numbers.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are substances that contain carbon which are emitted as gases into the air. They can occur naturally (emissions from people, pets, or plants) or come from household items such as plastics, construction materials, furniture, carpets, wall paints, cleaning supplies, and tobacco smoke in your home. "Sick building syndrome" is the name given to a range of symptoms ranging from headaches, sleep disturbance, and a sore throat which occur due to high VOC concentrations.
When you’re in the room you’re monitoring, a quick glance at the clear 5-star scale tells you all you need to know. It’s also a breeze to add automations using the Home app (iOS 15.1 and later) and the Eve app which, when triggered by changes in air quality, can have a light change color or your HomePod play a sound. See here for some examples.

In case of a real alarm, Eve Smoke will alert you immediately with a loud alarm (85 dB(A) at a distance of 3 m) and by turning on the emergency light. You will hear a constant sound for a smoke alarm, and a sound/pause every second for a heat alarm. Eve Smoke will continue to alert you until no smoke or heat is detected, or until the alarm is silenced. If configured in the Apple Home App, you will also receive a notification.
You can mute Eve Smoke using the Eve app when Eve Smoke is in direct range. For your safety, an alarm cannot be muted using remote access. Muting an alarm using the Apple Home app is not possible. The alarm can also be muted by pressing the Test button on Eve Smoke or by pointing an infrared remote control towards Eve Smoke and pressing any button on the remote twice.
After muting an alarm, Eve Smoke will suppress the alert for 15 minutes. If smoke is still detected after 15 minutes, the alarm will sound again.
The acoustic and visual alarm of Eve Smoke cannot be deactivated.

Eve Thermo
Make sure that known good batteries are inserted and that Eve Thermo is switched on. On the side of the device, under the battery compartment, there is a reset button. Use a paper clip or similar object to press the reset button until the digits 66/99 flash.
How to set up Eve Thermo including the Offset
Important note: The temperature displayed below Target Temperature in Eve is measured by Eve Thermo way too close to the heater, please ignore it. Once an Offset is set, it will not be integrated here.
To set up Eve Thermo open the app Eve and go to: Settings > Accessories > Eve Thermo Set Temperature Offset to 0 degrees. Then in Eve go to: Rooms > Eve Thermo and open Eve Thermo. Set Target Temperature to 23 degrees for example and let it heat for 2-3 hours. Then measure the temperature in the middle of the room with a thermometer, Eve Degree or Eve Room. If it reads for example 20,5 degrees, goto Settings > Accessories > Eve Thermo and set the Temperature Offset to -2,5 degrees.
You may have to adjust this over the next days a bit. As stated before, the Temperature Offset is not taken into account in the temperature shown below Target Temperature.
Please try the following step-by-step procedure including the trick with the 2 cent coin. We have learned that around 10% of the valves used have a slightly too small stroke, the coin compensates for this. If it works with the coin, we will gladly send you a mini adapter, which is put over the pin of the valve and compensates the stroke.
1. Delete Eve Thermo from Eve app
2. Un-mount Eve Thermo and make sure that you can move the valve on heater side (if not use grease and eventually hit the valve's body with a hammer to solve the problem)
3. Put new batteries in Eve Thermo ("E[x]" means either calibration problem or discharged batteries)
4. Hard reset Eve Thermo until the 66/99 appears on the LED.
5. Press one of the arrow on screen until "E[x]" disappears (the screen will then show "no", which means "mounting" and the valve will move to a correct mounting position)
6. Re-pair Eve Thermo in Eve app and follow instructions to mount it and calibrate it.
7. Insert a 2 cent coin into the valve holder of Eve Thermo.
8. Follow the assembly and calibration instructions.
If the code "E[x] does not appear on the display of the Eve Thermo during step 5, please skip this step.

The current version of Eve Thermo supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only thing you need is a home hub (Thread border router). Battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Thermo, represent endpoints in your Thread network.
By contrast, mains-powered Full Thread Devices (or FTDs) that are always on, such as Eve Energy, Eve Light Switch or Eve Water Guard, can act as router nodes within your Thread network and relay data packets. So, the more of these Full Thread Devices (FTDs) you have in your network, the more stable and greater its reach becomes. Learn more
Definitely not. Eve Thermo is designed so you can fit it yourself: Simply unscrew your existing thermostat using your fingers (use a wrench if necessary), screw on Eve Thermo, and set it up in just a few steps using the Eve app. And there’s no need to sweat about swapping thermostats as there’s zero chance of water escaping. Watch the installation video.
No. With Eve, you can use all the features whenever you want without needing to register or subscribe.
Yes. AA batteries keep Eve Thermo powered even in the event of a power outage. Eve Thermo doesn’t use cloud-based technology either – instead, it communicates directly with your iPhone or HomeKit home hub. And even when your iPhone isn’t within range, Eve Thermo will continue to work autonomously using the schedules you added thanks to these being stored on the accessory itself. You can also control Eve Thermo manually whenever you want.
Accessing your HomeKit devices remotely or controlling them through automations (e.g. heat depending on presence, window detection) will always require a HomeKit Hub* (HomePod, HomePod mini, or Apple TV). However, plain schedules only require the Eve app, are stored on the device and run autonomously.

Use a paper clip or similar object to press until the red LED is blinking 5 times.
You can use the Eve app to check that Eve Water Guard is working perfectly - with a soft alarm that’s gentle on the ears.
In case of a real alarm, Eve Water Guard will alert you immediately with its 100 dB siren and red flashing warning light. After one minute, the alarm sound will automatically pause and resume every two minutes for 10 seconds. If configured in the Apple Home App, you will also receive a notification.
You can mute Eve Water Guard using the Eve app – even if you’re away from home, provided you have a home hub. Muting an alarm using the Apple Home app is not possible. The alarm can also be stopped by unplugging the sensing cable.
After a water leak, Eve Water Guard will continue to report a leak as long as the sensing cable is wet. Eve Water Guard will continue normal operation once the sensing cable is fully dry.
The acoustic and visual alarm of Eve Water Guard cannot be deactivated.
• Sensing cable measures 2 m in length
• Several cables can be added to a total length of 150 m/500 ft (sold on our Official Website, once you click "buy now".)
• Eve Water Guard leak detector required (sold separately)
• Avoid expensive water damage: Eve Water Guard detects water leaks, and alerts you the moment they occur- acoustically with its 100 dB siren, visually by a red flashing warning light and notifies you via iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch
The current version of Eve Water Guard supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only other thing you need is a home hub (Thread border router).
Mains-powered Thread accessories that are always on, such as Eve Water Guard, Eve Energy or Eve Light Switch, can act as router nodes within your Thread network and relay data packets. So, the more of these Full Thread Devices (FTDs) you have in your network, the more stable and greater its reach becomes. By contrast, battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Aqua, Eve Door & Window, Eve Motion, Eve MotionBlinds, Eve Room, Eve Thermo and Eve Weather represent endpoints in the Thread network (or Minimal Thread Devices – MTDs).

Eve Water Guard alerts as soon as water comes into contact with even just a small section of the sensing cable. And as Eve Water Guard connects via Bluetooth or Thread on demand, you’ll be notified practically instantaneously via your iPhone that water is leaking out – saving you precious time and avoiding costly damage, as you won’t have to wait for a connection interval that many other devices on the market use.
Eve Water Guard lets you monitor any area where a water leak is likely to occur – no matter where your power outlet is located. That’s because you can just plug additional elements into the sensing cable, enabling you to reach even faraway places. The added benefit for you is that you don’t just end up monitoring a small section of the room, but can accurately lay the sensing cable to monitor entire areas. Visit the Eve Store to buy extensions for the sensing cable.

Screws are not included, as every surface requires a different type of screw.
Before you begin measuring, note any obstructions such as door and/or window hardware that protrudes, heating pipes, or inward-turning doors and windows.
Do you want to install your Eve Blinds inside the recess? Measure the width at three points of the window, keeping the smallest measurement. Measure the height at the centre of the window. Please note! We supply the blind with a reduction of 3mm (1/8 in) on both sides. Please indicate the exact size of your window recess and we will make sure that the blind fits exactly in between. Please don’t do any reductions yourself! Also take into account a system height of 10cm (3.9 in). for possible obstacles such as doors and windows turning inwards.
Before you begin measuring, note any obstructions such as door and/or window hardware that protrudes, heating pipes, or inward-turning doors and windows.
Do you want to install your blinds outside the recess? Then measure the width and height of the window recess, with a small overlap. We recommend an overlap of 5cm (1.97 in). on both sides. Please add a total of 10cm (3.9 in). to the width measurement. To determine the height, add 10cm (3.9 in). (this is the height of system) to the height of your window recess. Would you like the blind to continue at the bottom? Then decide how many extra inches you want in height.
Our systems are available in two sizes, small and large. The small system is suitable for small to medium-sized roller blinds. For large blinds, only a large system is possible. Our advice is to start by putting together the roller blind for your largest window in the house. If it turns out that you can only choose a large system for this blind, we recommend doing the same for the rest of your blinds. This way you avoid having multiple roller blinds in your home with different systems. Is your largest blind also suitable for a small system? Then choose the system size that you prefer.
The distance from the end cap of the small system to the fabric, is 12 mm for the non-motor side and 18 mm for the motor side. For our large systems, it is 12 mm for the non-motor side and 24 mm for the motor side.
Yes you can. For automations, Apple Home makes no difference whether your devices were added to your home through HomeKit or Matter.
Follow these general rules when cleaning the outside of the device and its components:
- Use a damp, soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings.
- Do not use aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, or abrasives.
The wireless motors in our products have a battery, which you easily charge via a USB-C cable (not included). This can be your smartphones power adapter, for example. Charge at least once a year.
Resetting the blind results in deleting the end positions and connections of the blind with apps and remote controls. Shortly press the program button to activate program mode. The blind will start stepping up and down.Hold the reset/program button for at least 20 seconds to reset the blind. The blind will stop stepping twice. After the second stop, the blind will give one extra step to indicate that is has been reset.

Yes you can. For automations, Apple Home makes no difference whether your devices were added to your home through HomeKit or Matter.
If re-adding the device via Matter after the firmware upgrade does not succeed, please reset it. After the reset, try adding it again and make sure you’re using the correct Matter Setup Code provided to you at the beginning of the upgrade process. Note: iCloud and iCloud Keychain are required to add Matter devices to Apple Home. Make sure they are turned on in your iPhone’s settings.
Any HomeKit accessories you own will continue to work as usual. You’ll be able to use them in the Home and Eve apps without any restrictions – Matter-enabled devices will simply join them on an equal footing with HomeKit accessories. If you’re already using Thread-enabled Eve devices, free firmware updates will be made available over time to seamlessly upgrade them to Matter. You’ll then be able to use those devices not only with HomeKit, but also with other platforms, including Amazon Alexa, Google Home, or Samsung SmartThings.
