Eve Energy Upgrades with Matter Reporting, Home Assistant Certification, and Enhanced Android Support

HomeKit Weekly: Eve Energy Gains Matter Energy Reporting, Android Enhancements, and Home Assistant Certification

Eve Energy, a reliable smart home product known for its privacy-focused design and native HomeKit support, has received several notable updates:

• Matter Energy Reporting: A new firmware update introduces real-time power usage, voltage, amperage, and total energy consumption reporting via the Matter protocol. While this feature won't directly impact HomeKit users today, it paves the way for more features from Matter-only accessories in the future.

• Home Assistant Certification: Eve Energy is now officially certified for Home Assistant, connecting directly over Thread without any reliance on cloud services. This makes it an excellent choice for Home Assistant users who prioritize local control and privacy.

• Android App Parity: The release of version 1.3 of the Android app brings feature parity with the iOS app. Android users can now view energy usage graphs, projected cost estimates, and set schedules directly from their devices, including support for Matter-powered automation and controls.

• Thread Network Stability: For those with a large Thread network, the new firmware also enhances stability and responsiveness across connected devices.

Eve Energy continues to be one of the best smart plugs on the market, suitable for HomeKit users and anyone looking to build a privacy-focused smart home that works seamlessly across multiple platforms.
