Eve Motion is a battery motion sensor with an integrated light sensor and a twilight setting from 0 to 15,000 lux. Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant all add it over Matter on Thread, each via a Thread border router rather than an Eve hub. Control stays local with no Eve cloud. Power is two AAA cells.
