Eve Systems releases the second generation of the Eve Motion motion sensor

This is the second generation of the Eve Motion motion detector.

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.
