“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | Native HomeKit, and the only ecosystem Eve supports on this model — the whole product is designed around Apple Home. 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. Two limits worth knowing before you buy: automations and control from outside the house need a HomePod or Apple TV (4th generation or later) acting as a home hub, per Eve's own requirement statement; and the energy figures do not appear in Apple's Home app — 'The Eve app visualizes total consumption by day, week, month, and year', so the reason many people buy it lives in Eve's iOS app rather than Apple's. |
| Amazon Alexa | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[2] | 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. |
| Google Home | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[2] | 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. |
| SmartThings | Doesn't workVerified: does not work with this ecosystem[2] | 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. |
| Home Assistant | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[3] | There IS a route, it is local, and it comes at a hard price — which is exactly the kind of trade a compatibility table usually hides. Home Assistant's core HomeKit Device integration pairs directly with 'Works with HomeKit' accessories over the local network with no cloud involved. But Home Assistant's own documentation states the constraint plainly: 'HomeKit devices can only be paired to a single controller at once', and 'If your device is in your network but is paired with an Apple device via HomeKit: Remove the device from the Apple Home app. Otherwise you won't be able to pair it with Home Assistant.' So this is Apple Home OR Home Assistant, never both — and since Apple Home is the strip's only other ecosystem, choosing Home Assistant means giving up Siri and the Home app entirely. |
Protocols: WIFI[1]
What it can do[1]
You can tell it to
- On/off
- Energy monitoring
It reports
- Energy reading
Whether each platform's automations and routines can use it — not just whether its app shows it.
| What it does | Apple Home | Home Assistant |
|---|---|---|
| On/off | ✓ routines can use it | ✓ routines can use it |
| Energy monitoring | ✗ app only | ✓ routines can use it |
| Energy reading | ✗ app only | ✓ routines can use it |
Platform documentation: Apple Home — automation engine ceiling (2026-09-01), Home Assistant — automation engine ceiling (2026-08-29)
- Apple Home: On/off per outlet in the Home app; energy consumption history is visible only in the Eve app, not in Apple Home.
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.[8]
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' wording 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.
Maintenance reality
- Works without the internet: Yes — the core function runs on the device or your home network. A vendor cloud may still be involved in remote access.[9]
- Three outlets, each individually controlled and separately named. North American ratings: AC 120 V, 60 Hz, max 15 A / 1,800 W, with standby consumption under 2 W and surge protection rated 30,000 A. Radio: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n only — no Thread, no Bluetooth control path, no Matter. Sockets are Type B, accepting Type A and B plugs; the North American body is 1.4 × 2.6 × 10.8 in (36 × 66 × 275 mm) with a 6.3 ft (190 cm) cable. Energy monitoring is per Eve's wording: 'The Eve app visualizes total consumption by day, week, month, and year.' Requires an iPhone or iPad on a current version of iOS/iPadOS; also controllable from Apple Watch. Eve publishes no warranty term on this page. The European variant is a different device electrically (230 V, 16 A / 3,680 W, Type E/F sockets) and is not what this record describes.
- Security updates: No security-update support date is on record for this model yet. We haven't yet checked whether Eve Systems publishes one, so this is a gap in our research — not a statement about the manufacturer.
The catch
This is a HomeKit-only device in a Matter world, and that single fact decides whether it fits. Eve publishes no Matter certification and no Thread radio for the strip — it is Wi-Fi and HomeKit — so on everything Eve publishes, Alexa, Google Home and SmartThings have no route to it. That reading rests on Eve's own page naming HomeKit and staying silent on the rest, not on Eve saying no, so a Matter certification for this model or an Eve-published integration would change it. Inside Apple Home it is clean and local, but automations and away-from-home control need a HomePod or Apple TV, and the energy history that justifies the price lives in Eve's iOS app rather than Apple's Home app. Home Assistant can take it over locally, but only by removing it from Apple Home first: HomeKit accessories pair to one controller at a time. One practical note: the name collides with Eve's Thread-based Energy plug, which is a different product with a different protocol story — same brand, same word, a different radio and a different set of ecosystems.
Who it's for
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.

Unlike Eve's Thread sensors, this product publishes a Wi-Fi radio (2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n) and no Thread, so the no-cloud-path clause does not apply either. — Read on the maker's own site, verified 2026-08-18
