Eve Systems has released the second generation of Eve Motion. The popular wireless motion sensor with Apple HomeKit technology adds an integrated light sensor and support for the future-proof mesh networking standard Thread.
The motion sensor is battery operated and features a redesigned, compact and IPX3 water-resistant enclosure. It offers a 120-degree field of view spanning nine meters of range.e
The new model of Eve Motion is the 14th product in the Eve portfolio to support Thread, a technology that is a pillar of Matter – the smart home standard of the future. Thread-enabled Eve products – including Eve Motion – will receive free over-the-air firmware updates so you can use them with other Matter ecosystems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings, says Jerome Gackel, CEO of Eve Systems.
