Eve builds around Thread and Matter, with HomeKit still supported on older and Wi-Fi products. Eve says there is no Eve cloud, account or hub: devices join the platform you choose, and that platform's hub acts as the Matter controller and Thread border router.
That suits households that already run Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings or Home Assistant and want local control. It is less suited to anyone who wants one Eve-branded app that covers every product on every phone, because the Android app supports only part of the range.

|---|---|---|---|
| Connection | |||
| Thread | Yes | Eve says its current devices use Thread, and that wall-powered Eve accessories extend the Thread mesh. A Thread border router is needed to set the network up, and Eve names HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K as examples. The Home Assistant announcement describes all certified Eve devices as Matter over Thread. | Eve Thread page Eve: getting started with Matter Home Assistant announcement |
| Bluetooth | Yes | Eve's Thread page says non-Thread Eve accessories connect over Bluetooth, with a HomeKit home hub such as a HomePod mini in range extending the reach. Home Assistant's page also says some older Eve devices were sold as Bluetooth or HomeKit only. | Eve Thread page Home Assistant: Eve |
| Wi-Fi | Yes | Eve Cam connects over Wi-Fi (2.4 or 5 GHz) and works only through HomeKit Secure Video. Eve states that Wi-Fi Eve devices remain HomeKit-only, with no Matter upgrade. We did not read pages for other Wi-Fi products. | Eve Cam Eve Matter page |

| Matter | Yes | Eve Energy, Door & Window and Motion were the first products to get free Matter firmware, starting with an iPhone upgrade in the Eve app in December 2022, and newer products ship with Matter. Eve devices act as Matter devices over Thread, and each platform's hub is the controller. The Android app uses Matter custom clusters for on-device heating schedules. We found no Eve Matter bridge. Eve Extend appears on Eve's pages only in an image caption calling it a hub, and we could not confirm what role it plays. | Eve Matter announcement Eve: getting started with Matter Google Home APIs case study |

| Apple Home | Official | HomeKit is Eve's original platform. The Eve app listing says it works with all Matter and HomeKit devices, and Eve's Matter page says Thread-enabled models upgraded to Matter keep HomeKit alongside the others. Upgrading an older device needs an iPhone or iPad running the Eve app, and the HomeKit setup code printed on the product stops working after the upgrade. | Eve app listing Eve Matter page Matter-Smarthome.de on the upgrade Apple Home accessories list |
| Google Home | Official | Eve's Matter page shows a Works with Google Home badge. The Eve for Android app links to Google Home, and Google's case study says Google Home supplied the Matter and Thread hub network behind it. | Eve Matter page Google Home APIs case study |

| Home Assistant | Official | Eve joined the Works with Home Assistant program in April 2025. Home Assistant's Eve page says Eve devices are added through its Matter integration and work locally, with no cloud. It lists certified door and window sensors, energy plugs, light switches, dimmers, motion sensors, blinds, thermostats and weather sensors. Older Bluetooth or HomeKit-only models need the Matter upgrade first, which needs an iPhone or iPad and an Apple Thread border router. | Home Assistant: Eve Home Assistant announcement Eve announcement |
| Homey | Official | Homey's store lists an Eve app by Eve Systems GmbH, marked Official, covering Door & Window, Energy variants, Light Switch, Motion, MotionBlinds, Thermo, Thermostat and Weather over Matter. The listing shows Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Homey Pro mini and Homey Self-Hosted Server under Works on, but also says Homey Bridge is required for every device. We could not resolve how those two statements fit together. | Homey Eve app Works with Homey: Eve |
| openHAB | Unconfirmed | openHAB's add-on list includes a Matter binding that works as a Matter controller and as a Matter bridge. The binding page we read does not name Eve, so we could not confirm Eve devices. | openHAB Matter binding |
| Node-RED | Unconfirmed | Community Matter nodes exist, including a controller node, but the Node-RED forum thread we read does not mention Eve, so we could not confirm Eve devices. | Node-RED forum thread |
| Hubitat | Unconfirmed | Hubitat added built-in Matter bridge support in October 2024 for hub models C-5 and newer. That announcement does not say whether Hubitat can control Thread devices such as Eve directly, and no Eve driver was found. | HomeKit News on Hubitat Matter |
| Domoticz | Not found | No Eve or Matter plugin found when we searched. | Searched, no source |
