No response to modules

Updated April 2019: After a little over a year of experience with these switches I can now say, that with over 70 Homekit nodes, these are by far the most unreliable devices in my house. You work about half the time. Bluetooth LE sounds great in theory, but for those with unusual features like "inner walls" and "multiple floors" in their home, it really is a win-win. helped. So I pull all the wall switches out of the Eva. To be honest, I feel a little left out. Why Elgato didn't opt for Wi-Fi…

Pros
  • Switch lights on and off with your iPhone or iPad (Siri or App) or with the built-in switch
Cons
  • There are nuances

Best of all Smart Switches

I've bought more of these. They are well designed and work flawlessly just like other Eve Homekit products I have purchased. I'm an old programmer, I've had X-10, Insteon, Z-Wave, WiFi-Enabled and these Bluetooth LE products. I think they are better in every way. Security. Wi-Fi devices put your entire network at risk if not properly protected by a firewall. Ring's doorbell was intercepted while the audio was being sent to China. Many other unknown brand Wi-Fi switches have been caught sending…

Pros
  • Simultaneous control of other Apple HomeKit accessories in scenes
Cons
  • Appearance

Mixed feelings about this switch

I have mixed feelings about this switch, on the one hand it's quite a nice switch, the capacitive touch surface works very smoothly and is very sensitive to touch, the installation and pairing was very easy, I used the Elgato Eve app to pair and at home the app recognized the configuration immediately so far so good. What I don't really like now is that sometimes it's very fast, but sometimes it takes about 5 or 7 seconds to turn it on or off (although it's more responsive than unresponsive)…

Pros
  • Set timers for a regular schedule or simulate attendance when you're away from home or on vacation. Your home hub (HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV) allows you to control your Eve Light Switch from anywhere in the world.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Great Rugged Switch

Updated Review 2019 (Five Stars) This switch does a great job and handles the little things. Now that my home is full of Homekit devices from many brands, I can appreciate the product much more accurately and appreciate its performance. The fact that this switch uses Bluetooth instead of Wi-Fi comes with a lot of compromises. This increases device latency but also uses less power and doesn't clog my WiFi. I usually have everything set up to use work machines. automatically. If a device is…

Pros
  • HomeKit Ready for unmatched ease of use, enhanced security and total privacy
Cons
  • Great Price
