Elgato Eve Room Wireless (1st Generation) - Indoor Sensor with Apple HomeKit Technology, Bluetooth Low Energy

Had this product nearly 2 months now and as for how it works...brilliant very satisfied but today asked me for new batteries not so brilliant after such a short amount of time surely a product like this should last at least a year or come with a plug in the power source option

It's simple, and doesn't have to do much, but it's a shame it doesn’t' seem to sync the data in the background - so unless you are within range of the device, when you launch the app you might have a grey area in your charts that says something like "no data for 4 days". If you are within range, it still states the same message, but slowly starts to get data and that shrinks down until you are fully in sync.I have no way to tell if it is 100% accurate, (or even 1% accurate for that matter), but it seems to respond correctly with air quality being worse if there is less ventilation in my office, especially if I close my door and work late into the night with the computers on generating heat. So it seems to be measuring things correctly.

I really do not recommend to buy these eve products! I bought the Weather and the Room to monitor air quality and barometric pressure etc. The device can measure it well, just as a 10 pounds alternative could do it. But the value in these devices would be that it collects data and you can see it in your phone and has history so you can track the weather changes. Well, it sucks in this. First of all, you can connect it only to one iphone not more. Second sometimes just randomly decide to lose its connections and you cannot connect it again. I have the Room and Weather and iphone ipod and ipad and after the connection is lost I did not managed to back the connection between any of them. I spent an hour the read here and there, nothing is clear why this happened and I do not have more time to solve this, because I just want a device that can collect data. I cannot imagine how this device can be so bad and why there is not even a reset button that with I could reset the connection (no.. taking the battery out did not solve it, reinstalling the app neither..) (Edit: there is a pinhole factory reset next to the batteries, will delete all data.. but can pair it again. Still no clue why the pairring lost between the iphone and eve-s)So again, buy netatmo or other devices because this will give you the wtf experience.

Does what it says on the tin. One of the very few HomeKit items in existence, but a good addition to any home

I like this product but it would be better if it would work with more than one device.

Overpriced for function it provides.

After 1year I can confirm that product is terrible. Poor range, constantly failing to connect-update data. Battery efficiency is very poor. Extremely overpriced, do not recommend.

A number of times the eve room has become unresponsive, with the only option to factory reset and re-pair. Alas I've missed my return window so will have to chase it up with manufacturer I guess.Avoid.
