Before you buy
Follow the recorded connection below. Equipment details and setup limits explain what else this path needs.
Eve Energy Strip (connected triple outlet)
What you gainThis connection communicates locally.
Keep in mindIntermediate equipment and transport are not mapped in this summary. Read the setup notes before choosing hardware. Check the function table for supported controls and routines. A connection diagram does not establish every function or remote access.
This shows the connection route, not every network cable or a shopping list. One device may provide several roles, including a Matter controller and a Thread border router. Only a Thread connection needs the Thread role. Read the equipment cards for all recorded requirements.
These paths summarize documented setup options. Check the function table for the connection covered by each recorded capability.
Native HomeKit, and the only ecosystem Eve supports on this model. Each of the three outlets shows up as its own accessory in the Home app and can be switched by Siri or the Home app locally. Energy readings are the exception: Eve's own table shows energy monitoring in the Eve app and not in the Home app or through Siri, so the consumption history many people buy it for stays in Eve's iOS app. Automations and control from outside the house need a HomePod or Apple TV (4th generation or later) as a home hub.[1][15][16][21][23][25][26][27][31]
The equipment list for this platform is not fully specified here. Use the documented setup above; an empty list does not mean no equipment is needed.
The record does not support a connection to this platform. Read the explanation below.
Same basis as Alexa: HomeKit is the only protocol Eve documents for this model, Google Home speaks Matter or its own cloud integrations but not HomeKit, and Eve publishes no Google integration for the strip. ⚠ Again this is what Eve's page enumerates and leaves out rather than a stated exclusion, so the cell carries an absence marker with its overturn condition.[2]
The record does not support a connection to this platform. Read the explanation below.
Eve's product page documents exactly one control protocol for this model — HomeKit over Wi-Fi — and names no Alexa skill, no Matter certification and no Thread radio. Alexa cannot speak HomeKit, so on everything Eve publishes there is no route an Echo could take. ⚠ What that rests on, said plainly: an enumeration and a silence, not a denial. Eve publishes no 'not supported' statement for this strip, and no certification registry has been checked on this record — so the cell carries an absence marker naming what would overturn it. Note the contrast inside Eve's own lineup, which is what makes this a real buying trap: Eve's Matter-era products (including the Eve Energy plug in this catalog) DO work with Alexa. The strip does not.[2]
The record does not support a connection to this platform. Read the explanation below.
Same again: SmartThings has no HomeKit client, Eve publishes no Matter certification for this model, and Eve names no SmartThings support anywhere on the product page. ⚠ A checked silence rather than an unverified blank — and rather than a vendor denial, which is why an absence marker rides on the citation.[2]
Follow the documented setup. Read the equipment details and connection limits below.
Eve Energy Strip (connected triple outlet)
What you gainReach the device through its documented local network integration.
Keep in mindRead the setup notes for required credentials, firmware, pairing and supported functions. Local communication does not establish every function or remote access.
Check the function table and setup notes for this route. An alternative connection does not inherit every capability of the recorded primary connection. A Thread border router, a Matter controller and a platform home hub are different roles; suitable hardware may provide more than one.
These paths summarize documented setup options. Check the function table for the connection covered by each recorded capability.
Home Assistant switches each outlet on and off locally through its built-in support for Apple Home accessories. Energy readings are not part of what that support covers, so the energy history stays in the Eve app. Taking the strip into Home Assistant removes it from Apple Home first, because these accessories pair with one controller at a time.[4][18][24][32]
A HomePod or Apple TV (4th generation or later) acting as an Apple Home hub. Not needed to switch the outlets from an iPhone on the same network, but Eve states it IS needed for automations and away-from-home control: 'Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory automatically and away from home requires a HomePod or an Apple TV (4th generation or later) as a home hub.'[1][21][23][27]
One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.
What could you do with this?
Start with a documented control or event. The selected connection shows what is confirmed for that platform.

A documented control or event is one part of a setup. It does not by itself establish a complete automation.
A platform connection does not confirm every function. Controls and reported events are shown separately from what an automation can use.

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: No — no vendor account is involved.[9][20][29]
No plan, account or registration is named on Eve's product page for this model, and the way the strip works leaves nowhere for one to hide: control is HomeKit over your own network, with no Eve servers in the path. Recorded as no subscription on that basis. The narrower limit worth stating: this page does not carry the explicit brand-wide no-subscription, no-registration statement that Eve puts on the Eve Energy plug's page, so the conclusion here rests on an absence plus how the product is built, rather than on a promise we can quote.
A fit for an Apple-only household that wants three individually switched outlets with per-strip energy tracking, no account, no cloud and no hub for basic control — and that already has a HomePod or Apple TV if automations matter. It suits an Apple user who deliberately wants nothing talking to a vendor server. Look elsewhere if anyone in the house uses Alexa, Google Home or SmartThings, if you want Matter or Thread, if you need Android support, or if you want the energy data inside Apple's own Home app. Home Assistant users can have it locally, but only by giving up Apple Home for this device.
