Elgato Eve Thermo (Previous-Gen.) - App-Enabled Thermostatic Radiator Valve with Apple HomeKit technology, Bluetooth Low Energy

I work from home a lot, so have the main heating on during the day. With these, the radiators in the kids bedrooms shut shut down when they're at school. My office gets heat during the day, but shuts own in the evening, while the TV room gets the heat in the evening. Every room gets its own thermostat and custom schedule, so even though these are quite expensive, they should pay for themselves pretty quickly.We had old style TRV's fitted (I never believed they actually worked!), so adding these just takes a few seconds to unscrew the old dial and put the new one on. They use bluetooth, which can take a few seconds to respond, and has limited range compared to WIFI or zigbee, which would be frustrating for lights, but for heating its not a big deal. HomeKit works great (turn on the lights and the heating can turn on too!), and if your a data junkie there are loads of great data logs to check everything is working, and fine tune everything.Potential downsides: there's no physical control from the unit itself so if you want to turn up the heat you need to grab your phone, and they can only use the heat that's available to them - if your central thermostat turns of the boiler then these can turn the radiator on, but no heat will come out. Tado have announced a similar product with both physical controls, and the ability to talk to the main house thermostat, but nothings shipping yet, and their home kit support is still vapourware. The Tado valves are the same price per rad, but need a central hub, making them more expensive if you don't have a hub already.

A very nice product. Easy on the eyes, easy to install, excellent software and Apple HomeKit compatible.The product fits tidily on the radiator, its smooth lines look better quality than similar products. Installation is made easy by simply following the instructions from the App. Unfortunately you need the App to see what's going on. The smooth lines have no gauges or screens. Everything is via the App.Having said that the App provides lots of information and flexibility. Not only do you get current values but it retains historical info making for a great monitoring tool.The Eve Thermo communicates via Bluetooth. It doesn't require wifi hubs. This independence reduces overall costs but the Bluetooth limits access range to just the house. But you can easily pick up info from one side of the house to the other. That's about 15 metres through a couple of breeze block walls and a floor.There appears to be two negatives with this product. As always there's the price. It looks great quality but it looks like it could easily be sold at £20 cheaper and they'd still be making a handsome profit. The other is measuring the actual room temperature. Being very close to the radiator the temperature is always going to be higher than the true room temperature. The App allows you to adjust for this but it isn't easy to make the correct adjustment.Overall an excellent product with room for improvement.

I have seven of these Eve Thermos replacing TRVs in some of our radiators. The Thermos allow me to define different heating schedules for different rooms. So, for example, the lounge isn’t heated on weekdays before work, the playroom heating goes off at our daughter’s bedtime, bedrooms are unheated during weekend days etc even when other rooms are heated. The boiler turns on and off automatically via HomeKit when any Thermo demands it.

The build quality and software application was very good. Unfortunately because it uses Bluetooth I had lots of trouble getting it to connect. (iPhone7). The range of Bluetooth is limited so I had be be in the room to collect and data or mark any adjustments. Not ideal to connect multiple devices around a two story house.

Two downsides straight off. If you have the misfortune of having "Siemens Trade" TVRs the Eve Thermo head won't fit (and nor does anybody else's) The screw thread on that TVR is imperial. There may be an adaptor out there in web-world but I could not find one. The rooms I wanted to fit first in my house had those valves, luckly I had some other TVRs in the house I could use. Long-term I will change the TVRs in the house to something standard and fit the Eve heads.The other gripe is that (any) bluetooth has a short range, and in an old stone-built cottage this may mean you can only be a room away from the valve to change settings.Fitting the valve head is easy - follow the on-screen instructions, capture the serial number using the iPad camera and remove the old TVR head (an easy turn of a large knurled ring, fit the new head and finger tighten. The changing part took less than a minute.Control is easy through the app (if you are in range) but the valve is autonomous and would work to a schedule when you are not. All in all a nice product.

Very easy setup!

Cette vanne connectée correspond totalement à mes attentes. Je ne dispose pas d'une Apple TV pour m'en servir comme concentrateur mais l'application est très bien faite et la vanne obéit au doigt et à l'œil.

Ottimo prodotto ma lo abbiamo restituito perchè ci siamo accorti essere il modello precedente in commercio. Attualmente esiste con il display in cui si vede la temperatura, lo abbiamo sostituito con i nuovi e siamo molto soddisfatti.

Ich habe mir dieses Doppelset bestellt und bin äußerst Zufrieden. super einfach zu Installieren und absolut klasse in HomeKit integriert. Ich bin aber auch super zufrieden mit der EVE App. die ist sehr gut entwickelt. Apples HomeKit benutze ich gerne über die Apple Watch, über das iPhone nehme ich lieber die EVE App. Da habe ich alle infos die ich will und noch mehr.

Dies ist mein erstes Elgato Eve Thermo, dass ich quasi als Versuchsballon gekauft habe, nachdem ich nach Thermostaten gesucht habe, die ich per iPhone/iPad programmieren kann, ohne zusätzlich eine Basisstation kaufen zu müssen.Die Verpackung präsentiert sich im typischen reduzierten Apple Style. Das Gerät selbst ist sehr stylisch und wirkt beim Auspacken erstmal sehr groß. Das relativiert sich, nachdem man es montiert hat, was bei problemlos mir ohne einen der beigefügten Adapter ging.Als nächstes lädt man die Eve App auf IPhone oder iPad. Dort wird das Thermostat mit seiner Kennung angemeldet und einem Raum zugeordnet. Es gibt zwei Voreinstellungen für unterschiedliche Räume, aus denen man auswählen kann. Natürlich kann man auch ein eigenes Schema erstellen, was ich gemacht habe. Das ist wirklich kinderleicht. Auch die Übernahme in Apple's Home App war problemlos.Jetzt kommen wir zu dem kleinen Haken. Das Eve verbindet sich nicht über WLAN sondern über Blutooth, was die Reichweite automatisch begrenzt. Ich habe zwar nur eine mittelgroße 3-Zimmerwohnung, aber die Apps verlieren die Verbindung vom Heizkörper im Bad bis zum normalen Standort des iPads im Wohnzimmer. Ich muss ein paar Meter in Richtung Flur gehen, um das Signal wieder einzufangen. Die Steuerung ist dann wieder ganz einfach.Die Steuerung per Siri oder von außerhalb kann ich leider nicht beurteilen, da mein AppleTV nicht das Aktuellste ist. Die Reichweiten-Einschränkung gilt aber natürlich hier genauso. Deshalb würde das bei mir auch nicht funktionieren. Schade, aber mit gut eingestelltem Heizschema auch nicht so dramatisch.Fazit: Ich werde voraussichtlich meine anderen Heizkörper demnächst auch noch entsprechend umrüsten.

Kam in unorigineller Verpackung und hatten Kratzer. Waren schon gebraucht obwohl die Ventile als neue verkauft wurden. Unakzeptabel.....Ein Stern ist zu viel.
