Open or closed, with time and duration statistics: that is what Eve Door & Window reports for a door or window. 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.
