Compatibility

EcosystemSupportThe catch
Amazon AlexaWorksWorks with this ecosystem[1][4]Live view on Echo Show
Google HomePartialPartial support — see the catch[1][4][7]Voice-triggered live view only on Nest displays — eufy's own support doc says Google Nest Hub 'can only support Voice Triggered Live Streaming' for its doorbells (no ring announcement, no automatic live view on press, no two-way talk); eufy grants its doorbells 'Livestream' only under Google, versus livestream plus ring prompts under Alexa.
Apple HomeDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[1][4]No Apple Home — eufy floated HomeKit but its own page still lists it unsupported
SmartThingsDoesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[1][5]eufy's doorbell platform-compatibility support article lists 'SmartThings - Not supported' (only Alexa and Google Assistant are supported), and the E340 product page names Alexa and Google Assistant with no SmartThings or Matter mention.
Home AssistantPartialPartial support — see the catch[6]Unofficial — eufy lists Home Assistant as not supported; the path is the community eufy_security (HACS) integration, whose client lists the E340. eufy documents NO RTSP for the E340 (its spec article omits it), so any RTSP-via-HomeBase claim is community-reported, not manufacturer-documented.

Protocols: WIFI[3]

What it can do[11]

You can tell it to

  • Camera stream
  • Two-way audio

It reports

  • Doorbell pressed
  • Motion detected
  • Person detected
  • Package detected
  • Face recognised

Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.

Subscription reality[2][4]

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.

Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.

No subscription — local storage on HomeBase or SD

Maintenance reality[3]

Security updates[9]

eufy publishes no security-update support date for this model. That is a gap in what the manufacturer has published, not evidence either way — some makers declare a support period and some say nothing at all.

eufy states that this product meets the UK's connected-device security rules, but publishes no date for how long it will issue security updates — and publishing that date is part of what those rules ask for. So there is no end date to show you here, and no way for you to check one.

The catch

No Apple Home — eufy promised HomeKit but its own product page still says it's unsupported; treat it as an Alexa/Google doorbell.

Who it's for

For buyers who want dual cameras (face + package view) with no monthly fee and local storage.
