Compatibility

EcosystemSupportThe catch
Amazon AlexaWorksWorks with this ecosystem[13]Officially badged 'Works with Alexa.' Reports open/closed state as a standard Matter contact sensor; Eve-app extras (open/close history, duration insights) are Apple-Home-only per Eve's cross-platform feature note.In Amazon Alexa you also need: a Thread border router · a Matter controller
Google HomeWorksWorks with this ecosystem[13]Officially badged 'Works with Google Home'; requires Google's Matter controller. No Eve-app history features outside Apple Home.In Google Home you also need: a Thread border router · a Matter controller
Apple HomeWorksWorks with this ecosystem[13]Full experience: the Eve app's detailed records (when and how long a door/window was open) explicitly require connection through Apple Home on iPhone/iPad.In Apple Home you also need: a Thread border router · a Matter controller
SmartThingsWorksWorks with this ecosystem[13]Officially badged 'Works with Samsung SmartThings' via SmartThings Matter controller; plain contact-sensor function only.In SmartThings you also need: a Thread border router · a Matter controller
Home AssistantWorksWorks with this ecosystem[13]Officially badged 'Works with Home Assistant' on Eve's product page (Matter integration + Thread border router); history stays in the Eve/Apple ecosystem.In Home Assistant you also need: a Thread border router · a Matter controller

Protocols: THREAD · MATTER[1][3][4][5][11]

Needs before it works: Thread border router + Matter controller — Eve's own wording: 'this Matter-enabled device requires a hub that supports both Thread and Matter.' For Apple Home: HomePod (2nd gen), HomePod mini, or a Thread-capable Apple TV 4K (the Wi-Fi + Ethernet model); for other ecosystems, that platform's Matter controller with Thread border router.[1][5]

What it can do[10]

You can tell it to

Not established — we could not confirm this from vendor documentation

It reports

  • Contact state

Whether each platform's automations and routines can use it — not just whether its app shows it.

What it doesApple HomeGoogle HomeAlexaSmartThingsHome Assistant
Contact state✓ routines can use it? not stated? not stated? not stated✓ routines can use it

Platform documentation: Alexa — Matter path (2026-09-04), Apple Home — automation engine ceiling (2026-09-01), Google Home — Matter path (2026-09-04), Home Assistant — automation engine ceiling (2026-08-29), SmartThings — Matter path (2026-09-04)

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

Subscription reality[1]

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.

Vendor account required: No — no vendor account is involved.[12]

Product page states 'No subscription, no registration' and 'No Eve cloud.'

Maintenance reality[1]

The catch

It is inert without a Thread border router, open/close history requires the Eve app connected through Apple Home, and the 1/2 AA (ER14250) replacement battery is harder to find than standard cells.

Who it's for

Fits homes that already have a Thread border router and want a local, subscription-free contact sensor for doors and windows; Apple Home users additionally get open/close history and duration records.

  4. [4] CSA registry re-read from the page source 2026-08-09, both certificate pages live, with a control page we knew to be there (csa_product/aqara-hub-m2/) answering the same day, so the method was proven before anything was read from it. https://csa-iot.org/csa_product/eve-door-window-2/ → Certificate ID CSA23277MAT40790-24, Certified Date 03/28/2023, Firmware 3.2.0, Vendor ID 0x130A, Product ID 0x004D, Specification Version 1.0, Primary Device Type ID 0x0015, **Transport Interface: 'Thread, Bluetooth'**. https://csa-iot.org/csa_product/eve-door-window-3/ → the sibling certificate, Certified Date 11/01/2022, Firmware 3.1.0, same IDs, same Transport Interface. That sibling certificate's number is no longer repeated in this entry, because the page this entry cites does not print it; it is quoted in full, from a read of the sibling page itself, on the entry that cites that page. ⚠ The previous citation paired these two certificate IDs with each other's page addresses; that is fixed here — the underlying protocol claim is unaffected. ⚠ **The Bluetooth in the Transport Interface field is COMMISSIONING transport for a Matter-over-Thread device, not a control path**, and Bluetooth was removed from this record's list of radios on 2026-08-09 — the same call made for the Aqara Door and Window Sensor P2 and the Tapo L535E on 2026-08-08. What makes it stronger here than in those cases is that the MANUFACTURER agrees: Eve's product page specification reads 'Wireless Connection: Thread' and never says Bluetooth, and Eve's own generation table reserves 'Bluetooth/Thread' for the 2020 revision. The raw certificate field is recorded verbatim above so the evidence survives whichever way the catalogue-wide rule lands (the distinction is documented in our own notes). — Checked a certification register, verified 2026-08-09
