SAN FRANCISCO – October 8, 2015 – Elgato, leaders in app-powered lifestyle accessories, today announced the availability of their HomeKit-enabled Eve Room and Eve Weather sensors in Apple stores worldwide and on Apple.com. The new Eve HomeKit accessories gather data on air quality, temperature, humidity and air pressure to gain insights that help make your home a smarter place. Eve Room and Eve Weather offer unparalleled ease-of-use, advanced security, and tight integration with Siri.  

“Elgato’s Eve sensors are the world’s first battery-powered accessories for HomeKit,” says Dr. Markus Fest, CEO of Elgato. “Eve introduces an easy and secure way to gain insights about your home. Upcoming improvements to the HomeKit platform will enable additional features like trigger actions, expanding Eve’s functionality even further.”

Eve Room monitors indoor air quality, temperature and humidity using sophisticated sensors that analyze volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Eve Room goes beyond CO₂ by analyzing substances that directly affect your well-being, like alcohols and chemicals, molds, paints, smoke, and more to ensure users keep their home safe.  

Eve Weather is a wireless outdoor sensor that monitors temperature, humidity and air pressure to help users better prepare for the day. Eve Weather is built to live outside, and with IPX3 water resistance, even a little rain won’t hurt. 

Both products blend seamlessly into your home decor and due to energy efficient Bluetooth Smart technology and long-lasting, replaceable batteries, Eve products operate without any cables. Access and monitor all data collected by Eve Room and Eve Weather right from your iOS device and view beautiful graphs by day, month or year.

Eve Room and Eve Weather leverage the benefits of the HomeKit ecosystem:  

  • Easy setup: Eve connects directly to your iPhone or iPad using Bluetooth Smart technology, without requiring a hub, gateway or bridge.
  • Siri integration: Use Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to ask for temperature or humidity.
  • Advanced Security: HomeKit technology provides advanced security with end-to-end encryption and authentication between Eve and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
  • Create Scenes: Choose among the many pre-defined rooms or add your own, and organize your home into zones.
  • HomeKit Accessory Integration: The integrated setup assistant makes adding new accessories a breeze.
  • Guest Access: Invite others to view and control your HomeKit accessories and scenes securely through iCloud.
