Elgato today announced the launch of a new Thunderbolt 3 Dock designed to work with the new 13 and 15-inch MacBook Pro models Apple introduced in October of 2016.
Elgato's Thunderbolt 3 Dock features three USB 3.0 ports, a Gigabit Ethernet port, two Thunderbolt USB-C ports, 1 DisplayPort with DisplayPort 1.2 support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a 3.5mm microphone input jack.
For its HomeKit-enabled Eve line of products, Elgato is also showing off the Eve Extend and the Eve Aqua, but is not making formal product announcements at this time. The Eve Extend is designed to connect to a local Wi-Fi network and act as a bridge for Bluetooth-based accessories in its range, while the Eve Aqua is a wireless irrigation controller that connects directly to a faucet and hose.

The Eve Extend can be positioned anywhere in the house where there's poor Bluetooth signal, and is useful for areas where the Apple TV 4, which allows HomeKit-enabled Bluetooth products to be controlled when away from home, doesn't reach. Eve Extend is powered via micro-USB.
The Eve Aqua is designed to make watering plants "easy and fun." It runs on batteries and features a splash proof enclosure that's the size of three packs of cigarettes. Eve Aqua is still in development and it's not yet clear if it will work with HomeKit.
Pricing and release dates for the Eve Extend and the Eve Aqua have not been shared by Elgato.
