Eve Launches Matter over Thread Weather Sensor

Eve Systems, the Munich-based provider of smart home devices (and more recently part of ABB), has announced the availability of the Matter over Thread version of its Eve Weather smart weather station. Eve Weather features a water-resistant case and a large display showing outdoor temperature, humidity, and local 12-hour weather trends. The weather data can also be checked via an app or voice assistant compatible with the Matter platform, which previously was only Apple Home, bur with Matter, expands to all other Matter compatible ecosystems, like Google, Amazon, and SmartThings. iPhone and iPad users can use the Eve app to analyse, visualise, and export all measurements. The Matter version of Eve Weather retains its US$79.95 price tag, and the good news is the original Apple Home model (with Thread) is still available if users prefer not to use Matter.

Eve Weather, with its IPX4 water resistance and aluminium housing, can be used and displayed anywhere. Its sensors measure temperature, humidity, and air pressure (not exposed to Apple Home). The weather trend for the next twelve hours is displayed by analysing local changes in air pressure. The Eve app for iPhone and iPad records and visualises weather conditions over time.

As already mentioned, Matter technology allows connection to other platforms, enabling all family members to access Eve Weather’s sensors via iPhone, Android, Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. Eve Weather also supports smart automations with other Matter-enabled devices.

Eve Weather costs US$79.95 in the US on Amazon, and is also available from Amazon stores in the UK, Germany, Spain, and Italy, amongst others. The HomeKit model remains available, with a free Matter firmware upgrade for those existing devices.
