Eve Energy plug

I have a few EVE energy plugs & energy strips in my house. The single plugs are incredibly robust and reliable, so far I’ve never had an issue with them, so I highly recommend them. Plus, the single plugs support Matter over Thread, making them easy to connect to third-party platforms beyond HomeKit. The energy strip is also good, but it only supports HomeKit. That might give you some headaches, especially if you want to integrate it with HA or other platforms.

I setup the ZBT-2 as a TBR, and have 2 Eve energy plugs (which I've read can act as extenders). I'm trying to reach the Pergolux controller in the back yard which is supposed to be Matter over Thread, but after getting past the Bluetooth pairing I get a notification that there is no Border Router. I have zigbee and a few Z-wave items, this is my 1st foray into Thread. Any ideas? Their support doesn't seem to have any idea, and the only instructions are for Homekit and Google.

… to Homekit, I use the "Bridge" Mode and the include Option, so only as included marked entities should appear in Homekit. Now I have a Problem with a Eve Energy Outlet - I paired it via Homekit and then use the Matter Integration in Home Assistant. The Device Works perfect in Homekit and Home Assistant - but it is automatically deployed to Homekit via Home Assistant - so it shows up twice in Homekit - I can´t find a solution for this. I also checked the YAML - there the device is not in the list of included entities. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2024.1.5 ### …

The problem I am trying to add a Eve Energy smart plug in HA using the Matter integration but it is not working. The device works perfectly fine using Matter in Apple HomeKit. I can enable pairing mode but when adding an existing device or even if I factory reset the device and add it directly into HA, I get an error. I've checked every aspect of my router configuration as mentioned in couple of forum posts. Did many trial and error by disabling/enabling anything related to QoS, OneMesh, Multicast. IPv6 is working fine, I can ping from the container other IPv6 devices outside of the host. I'm …

Like all networks, your mileage may vary. I’ve had thread in Apple Home since day one with Eve Energy plugs. It works most of the time until it doesn’t. Devices go no response and sometimes come back on their own and sometimes they don’t. I’ve replaced all mission critical thread devices with alternatives. I’m hopeful that Thread 1.4 in OS 26 will improve things, but I’m not buying any new Thread devices until it does.

My experience may be unique, but I wanted to share it (just in case). I have a half-dozen Eve Energy Matter over Thread sockets. Previously was using a pair of Nest Hubs as the TBR. *Usually* didn't have any issues, except about every few months, one or more sockets would randomly go "unavailable" and the only way to solve was to unplug and reconnect the end-device. Reloading integrations and even restarting Home Assistant (and the VM hosting it) wouldn't bring the device back up. Eventually I added a Sky Connect Dongle to the thread network, but still the random drop-offs persisted. In the …

My Matter over thread experience My Thread experience has generally been awful since the very beginning of Thread devices being available and at the time only dealing with Apple HomeKit. I had Eve Energy plugs first, then some Thread air purifiers, then the Schlage Encode Plus locks and of course multiple Apple TV 4Ks and HomePod minis. I also had the first Gen big HomePods which lacked Thread radios. Before Apple allowed you to specify a specific Home Hub, my Thread network would go to trash every time a HomePod would randomly become the Hub. I finally had to get rid of these HomePods. Even …

I'm done with Matter over Thread. I mean, got a ZBT-2, Eve Energy plugs to extend the mesh, spent hours researching other's experiences on here and elsewhere... to no avail. It just works when it feels like it, then just goes 'nah...' for no visible reason. Completely unreliable. Done with it.
