Eve Room - Indoor air Quality Sensor to Monitor air Quality (VOC), Temperature & Humidity, Apple HomeKit Technology, Bluetooth and Thread

I recently had the pleasure of incorporating the Eve Room into my home, and I am delighted to share my positive experience. This smart device has truly transformed my living environment and helped me gain a better understanding of the air quality and climate conditions inside my home. Allow me to provide you with an in-depth review of the remarkable Eve Room. First and foremost, the setup process was a breeze. I simply downloaded the Eve app, connected the Eve Room to my Wi-Fi network, and within minutes, I had a comprehensive view of my indoor air quality. The seamless and intuitive installation process definitely earns Eve Room some major points. One of the standout features of Eve Room is its accuracy in monitoring air quality, temperature, and humidity levels. The device employs state-of-the-art sensors that provide precise and real-time measurements. I found this particularly useful, especially for someone like me who is conscious of maintaining a healthy living environment. Eve Room enables me to take proactive measures when necessary, such as adjusting ventilation or using air purifiers, to ensure optimal conditions for myself and my family. The accompanying Eve app is a true companion, offering a visually appealing and user-friendly interface. It presents detailed graphs and historical data, allowing me to track air quality trends over time. The app's notifications feature is fantastic, alerting me whenever certain thresholds are exceeded, giving me peace of mind that I am always informed and can take immediate action if required. Another noteworthy aspect of the Eve Room is its compatibility with smart home ecosystems. As an Apple HomeKit user, I was thrilled to find that Eve Room seamlessly integrates with the HomeKit platform. This integration enables me to automate various actions based on air quality readings, such as turning on an air purifier or adjusting the thermostat. It has made my home smarter, more energy-efficient, and conducive to a healthier lifestyle. The design of the Eve Room deserves a special mention. With its sleek and elegant appearance, it effortlessly blends into any room decor. The display on the device itself is minimalistic yet informative, providing a quick snapshot of the air quality with a color-coded system. The battery life is impressive as well, lasting for months on a single charge. Lastly, I must highlight the exceptional customer support provided by Eve. Any queries or concerns I had were promptly addressed by their knowledgeable and friendly support team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience for their customers. In conclusion, the Eve Room has exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From its effortless installation to its accurate monitoring capabilities and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems, it has become an invaluable addition to my home. If you prioritize a healthy indoor environment and desire a device that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing, I wholeheartedly recommend the Eve Room. It is a game-changer that brings comfort, control, and peace of mind to your living space.

In 2018, the second generation of Elgato’s Eve Room air quality sensor debuted, and some pretty big changes came with it too. The Eve Room sensor detects temperature, humidity and air quality; and is compatible with HomeKit, Apple’s home automation system. Although the temperature and humidity sensing capabilities have more or less remained the same, the Eve Room’s air quality sensor has received a substantial upgrade. Another huge upgrade is the way the Eve Room gets power. The first of the 3 most significant changes to the Eve Room is that is no longer guzzles AA batteries. Instead, it has a USB power cord and a rechargeable battery! Nice! The rechargeable battery will last for 6 weeks before it needs to be recharged, which is just about perfect. It gives us the convenience of AC power and at the same time portability if we need it. This addition alone might have been enough for me to buy the new Eve Room, but there is so much more. The new Eve Room 2nd Gen has a new volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor, the SGPC3 by Sensirion. Historically, the sensitivity of MEMS MOS gas sensors degrade over time, with a very significant drop after 2 years of use. The new Sensirion sensor’s sensitivity won’t degrade over time. That’s a pretty big technological advancement that adds quite a bit of value to the device. This ensures that the sensing capabilities of the Eve Room 2 will remain excellent throughout its ten year lifespan. The way the second gen Eve Room outputs its VOC data is improved too. The 1st gen Eve Room converted its VOC data into equivalent carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements, which is not really the best data to judge the quality of indoor air in a home or small space. The 2nd gen, however, outputs the pure TVOC data. As a result, VOC events are seen more accurately on the Eve app’s graphs as spikes that come and go quickly. VOC events are typically sudden and disappear just as suddenly. So, the 2nd gen Eve Room actually gives us a truer picture of what is going on in our homes, at least as far as VOCs are concerned. The air quality scale that the device uses is based on VOC research from Europe, who are currently ahead of the U.S. in VOC studies in the home. With the new scale also comes some additional recommendations such as exposure times for each level and "Hygenic ratings" which primarily have to do with comfort. The excellent Eve app on the iPhone has thankfully remained much the same. All the graphs, time comparisons, etc. are still all there. A++ A change that I was thinking would be a big one but isn't, is the new e-ink display. E-ink displays are found most commonly on e-readers such as the Nook. If you shine a light directly on it, you can see it. But it's all but invisible from across the room. It just blends in with the shadows... which isn't necessarily bad. If the display was lit, the device would stand out in the room. Because the e-ink display is unlit, and the new Eve Room's size is much smaller, it blends in even better... which is a good thing. I know a lot of work went into designing the e-ink display, but I'm sad to say that if my Eve Room 2 was replaced with a version that didn't have an e-ink display, I wouldn't even notice. In general, I’m very happy with the new Eve Room. It’s definitely an upgrade from the earlier version. I like its smaller size and how it’s not as noticeable in the room, I love the power cord, and I am very happy with the VOC sensor upgrade. The decision to drop the estimated equivalent CO2 readings and settle on just measuring VOCs was a good one I think. Overall, it’s a great little device that I can highly recommend.

I have an Eve Room that I purchased from Amazon November 18th, 2018. It has been set up and available in HomeKit and the Eve app on my devices since then. Yesterday it started showing in HomeKit as "no response." I deleted the accessory from HomeKit. I tried resetting it and re-adding it. Every time I attempt this I get the error message: "Accessory already added - To add this accessory to your home, you'll need to reset it first." So then I press the reset button on the back of the Eve Room and try again scanning the QR code with HomeKit, and get the message: "Accessory not found - Make sure your accessory is powered on and nearby." However, the display on the Eve Room does change. The "..." disappears from the leaf in the center of the screen, as if it did connect. Eventually it will come up with: "Couldn't add accessory - Home couldn't connect to this accessory" If I hit cancel and try again I get the accessory already added message, and am stuck in an infinite loop. WiFi and Bluetooth are enabled on my iPhone and I am connected to my home WiFi network. This was a $100 purchase at the time, and was less than a year ago. If the device has failed I'm hoping it can be replaced under warranty. Have contacted Eve support and was assigned case # 2299235. Will update this review if they are able to help. Update: Eve technical support suggested a complete reset of the device. This procedure worked and allowed it to be re-added to HomeKit. Shouldn't have had to do that in the first place, but it is working now and so I'll increase my rating from 3 to 4 stars.

There were a few reviews of this device claiming the sensors were out of whack, however they are on par... eventually. The first device that I had purchased I had absolutely no problems with it, the second device had a few problems, like the battery indicator was always at zero, but a hard reset solved that issue thankfully. The air quality sensor was the next thing to be totally off however I left it for a few days (4-5 days) and now it's finally calibrated and just needed time to fix itself. I love these devices to both control De-humidifiers and humidifiers depending on the season, and also be able to check on the conditions at home while I'm away. I only use Eve devices for my home automation and I've been very satisified with them.

Un excelente sensor de temperatura, humedad y calidad de aire para el interior de tu hogar compatible con Apple Homekit. Lo mejor es que puedes automatizar con parámetros como temperatura y humedad. Además de que con un central de casa (iPad, Apple TV o HomePod) puedes saber la temperatura de tu casa estando en cualquier parte del mundo con internet. Recomiendo este dispositivo y cualquiera de la misma marca EVE HOME. Muy bueno todo!

Easy to pair to your Apple Homekit and gives accurate readings. The Eve Support provides prompt responses too.

So far its been quite a useful little device - I've got it sitting in my bedroom so I can monitor the humidity/temperature/air quality conveniently, and track overall trends. I haven't run it against another tracker in any category to be able to detect how accurate it is, but I can say as a general trend that it does indeed register when devices are turned on that would adjust room conditions, and when my air purifier (Conway Mighty) detects poor air quality, so does the Eve - and the Eve usually detects it first. That being said I do have a few things I would note as a bit of a complaint about the device: The app design is, well, kind of shit. The Eve Room is part of the Eve smart device platform, so its app is a multipurpose focus. You open the device and it pulls up a general room list that it autopopulates (presumably from iOS home since it lists my Philips Hue). There is no way to see the data from the Room here, I need to click into the room at which point I can see the current stats of humidity/temperature/air quality, and then I have to click the actual device to get the trendlines. I would very much prefer to not have to click through two things I do not care about or interact with just to get the results of the only device that I do have. Similarly is the iOS Home integration: when you open the app you can see the current humidity, temperature, and air quality (with a descriptor like 'Good' instead of the star system or particulate measure). You cannot click this to get more detailed results, you explicitly can only get trends via opening aforementioned Eve app and clicking through. I would absolutely love to see it have more of a breakdown here, though honestly I would also honestly love for it to be able to communicate with the Google Home line, or abillity to export to a log file. If it had these (or even just Google Home conenctivity) I would think this to be an infinitely higher quality product. Thankfully it has seemed that the Eve Room is quite good at storing data over time. When I don't check it regularly, the next time I refresh the app I can pull all missing data and break it down into hourly/daily/weekly measures without any problem. At the end of the day, if you want a HomeKit enabled environmental monitor, this is probably one of your best bets. Its small, the screen is clear, and it seems quite accurate - but I definitely wish it made better use of its connection, and I definitely wish it was better integrated.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My Eve Room was a breeze to set up in my Apple Home app. It works perfectly and the Eve app on my iPhone gives me detailed information that I can compare to previous readings and even export to Excel from the Measurements screen. 💜
