Eve · model Door & Window · For Europe
- Matter Yes, over Thread
- Apple Home Via Matter
- Google Home Via Matter

- SmartThings Via Matter
- Home Assistant Via Matter
Eve Door & Window reports whether a door or window is open or closed, with time and duration statistics. It works with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant over Matter on Thread, so you need a Thread border router such as a HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K but no Eve bridge. Eve says there is no Eve cloud or registration. One replaceable half-AA (ER14250) cell is included.

“Via Matter” means you add it with that platform's Matter controller instead of a brand skill or app. “Unconfirmed” means we couldn't find an official source either way. How we verify.
Specs that matter for setup
- Power
- 1 × ½ AA (ER14250)[1]
- Radio: Eve's page lists Thread as the wireless connection; CSA lists Thread and Bluetooth (Bluetooth is used for Matter setup).
- Hub: No Eve bridge is needed. Eve says the first platform needs a hub with Matter controller and Thread border router functions (e.g. HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K); that is a generic Thread border router, not a brand hub.
- Local control: Eve's page says no Eve cloud and no registration; the CSA listing describes fully local connectivity.
- Senses: Eve and CSA describe it as an open/closed sensor with time and duration statistics.
- Power: Eve's page lists one replaceable ½ AA (ER14250, 3.6 V) cell, included.
Before you buy
- Needs a Thread border router, which must also be a Matter controller; there is no Eve bridge option.
