Announced back in December, the Eve Energy Outlet is able to replace any existing outlet in a single or multi-gang installation. It connects to a smart home setup using Thread, and has Matter integration.

There are two receptacles that can be controlled individually, and it offers advanced energy monitoring functionality so users can see how much energy devices are consuming. Energy monitoring is supported in the Eve app.

The Eve Energy Outlet is able to integrate with other HomeKit products thanks to Matter, so it can be used with automations and can be controlled through the Home app and through Siri.

The Eve Energy Outlet is priced at $50.

Important before you buy: this requires a neutral wire
It's an outlet, not a switch. Of course it requires a neutral wire, otherwise it wouldn't power anything.

Looks like this only supports thread, not Wi-Fi. Also, the buttons look a little small to manually push.

Not familiar with USA electrics, but how could it NOT require a neutral wire? And, for that matter from a UK perspective, an earth/ground wire?

I have a love hate relationship with Eve. Some of their devices are amazing (the smart plug, room monitor) and some are awful (cameras, aqua, weather monitor). Their customer service has been pretty good; but I don’t know if I want to take a chance on an installed device like an outlet. I’d rather just use a smart plug. They are cheaper too.

My mind still can't figure out Thread vs. Matter.
In simple terms Thread is how devices connect much like Wi-fi, Z-Wave and Zigbee are. Matter is the language the devices use to talk to each other. You can have devices that are Matter compatible that connect over Wi-Fi, ethernet and Thread.

In US residential wiring, the neutral (insulated white) and ground (bare or insulated green) are bonded in the load center. You can have neutral without a ground in an outlet, though it's no longer code. This has both.

As for this plug, no thanks; a smart plug stuck in an outlet works just as well. when it stops being supported, and it will, you don't have to replace the whole outlet.
