Eve Energy (Matter, US): what it works with
Eve · model Eve Energy 20EBU4101 (Matter, product no. 10EBU4151) · sold in US, CA
Eve Energy works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, all through Matter over Thread. The catch is the Thread part: you need a Thread border router that is also a Matter controller, such as a HomePod mini, an Apple TV 4K with Thread, a Nest hub or a Thread-capable Echo. This US and Canada version (product no. 10EBU4151) is rated 15 A / 1,800 W and has a built-in power meter. Control stays on your local network, with no Eve account or cloud.

Specs that matter for setup
- Max load
- 1,800 W[1]
- Radio: Eve lists only Thread for this model; Bluetooth is listed for the older US generations. CSA listings in this family show Bluetooth as a transport, likely for Matter setup, but Eve doesn't confirm it.
- Hub: Needs a Matter controller that is also a Thread border router. Eve sells no bridge of its own; the hub comes from your ecosystem.
- Local control: Matter over Thread runs on the local network, with no Eve cloud or account. Eve's iOS 18 hub-free control list doesn't include the US model, so a hub is still needed.
- Energy monitoring: Built-in power meter. A firmware update adds Matter energy reporting for Apple Home, Google Home, Home Assistant and SmartThings; Eve does not name Alexa there.
- Max load: 120 V, 60 Hz, max. 15 A / 1,800 W (U.S. & Canada).
