Eve Updates HomeKit-Enabled 'Eve Room' Air Quality Monitor With Thread Support

Eve today announced the launch of its third-generation Eve Room, a HomeKit-enabled indoor air quality monitor that now comes with Thread support. Eve Room is designed to track air quality, temperature, and humidity.

Design wise, the updated Eve Room looks similar to the existing second-generation Eve Room, with an e-ink display that shows the current room conditions. The major new addition is Thread integration for better connectivity with other smart home products. According to Eve, it now offers 10 products that work with HomeKit over Thread.

Eve CEO Jerome Gackel said that Thread has been "a spectacular success" for Eve, and in the "not too distant future," a Thread network will be "just as common as Wi-Fi." Eve Room is designed to join a Thread network automatically, and it works with both Bluetooth and Thread. Note that for Thread connectivity, a device that serves as a Thread Border Router is required, such as the HomePod mini.

Eve Room is able to detect volatile organic compounds in the air, which can be harmful to people and pets. It also provides temperature readings and allows users to keep track of humidity. Data can be viewed on the device itself, and it also syncs to the Eve app.

The third-generation Eve Room is available from the Eve website for $99.95.

I’ll never understand this company…
„Mmh, we have this Air Quality Monitor, which does the same like the $10 Aqara sensor, but ours has to be charged every 6 weeks, has micro USB and a cheap display, what do we charge for that?“
„$100“
„Sounds right, it’ll be $99,95“
The difference is that Eve stuff is hassle-free.
Not all of it -- the Eve Button is a LOUSY product, their bluetooth extender even worse. But most of the stuff (like the room monitoring and the smart plugs) just does what it is meant to do, reliably and without drama.

This doesn't sound like a very high bar, but you would be amazed... It works properly with HomeKit, reports battery status properly, updates FW properly, doesn't require its own stupid hub, doesn't require a once-a-month dance of some sort or power-cycling because it's stopped working, etc etc

Some of us are just so tired of so much poorly performing s#$t out there that we are willing to pay extra for stuff that just works.
And the things you knock are real pluses. I bought the Eve monitor precisely because I wanted BOTH
- can put it next to the bed to see temp and humidity at a glance
- but also can use it to trigger automations
- and also can see long-trend history in the Eve app.
All three of these are valuable, and the first requires both a screen and battery (so I can place it where it's convenient).
(And claiming charging every six weeks sounds very high to me. I'm not tracking it closely, but I'd say it's closer to perhaps every four to six months.)

Still micro USB? :(

I have the old version and think it's great, but think it's the only thing I now own which requires a micro USB cable to charge it. Disappointing.

Seriously. All 3 are huge dealbreakers for me.
Especially micro USB. That has no place in 2021. Even my cheapo espresso scale charges using USB-C.
And a 6 week battery is laughable. Who has time for that?!

This is for me a reason not to buy it.

Companies need to be punished for making stupid decisions.

I've been waiting for this to be updated to thread. Now they just need to do their North American wall switches.

I have been very happy with my thread enabled Eve Energy and Eve Weather devices. I currently have and Eve Energy outside in a weatherproof box running my Christmas Lights.

Interesting idea but I'm not sure what I'd do with this information. I have an air purifier running and it ramps up automatically if air quality dips (usually when we're cooking or vaccuuming). And if I didn't have an air purifier, I guess I'd just use this to tell me... to open a window?

And that's not even getting into the the bigger question of why the hell I'd ever need to monitor my apartment's air quality when nobody's home.

I guess other people have different needs than me, but I think we're seeing a lot of "smart" products that are really of dubious utility.
Opening a window is often a good solution to sensors alerting you to elevations of certain readings.

With that said, outdoor air quality can often be bad too, so you can check in  Weather for AQI.

Monitoring AQ when no-one's home could be useful, if you're trying to pinpoint the source of pollution (e.g. heating that activates at certain times before people get home, neighbourhood events that decrease AQ indoors if windows left ajar - such as barbecues, bonfires etc.).

And if your vacuum is a trigger for dipping AQ, that would suggest it's leaking dirty air back into the room. A vacuum cleaner with a fully-sealed HEPA filtration that captures a near-total amount of pollutants would be a good item to upgrade to.
