Elgato's Eve Energy opens up the HomeKit home
If you want the convenience of a smart home and (for the present, at least) the kind of end-to-end encryption security Apple provides, preventing prying eyes from peeking into your business, Elgato today introduced an affordable way to put intelligence inside your home.
Eve Energy
Eve is Elgato’s family of Homekit-compatible smart home devices. New to the US, the Eve Energy ($49) is a wireless power sensor and switch. All you need to do is plug the device into any wall socket and then plug other electronic devices into that. You can then switch those devices on or off using the app or Siri, and monitor energy consumption through reports delivered via the app. You can also use Eve with HomeKit to create difference scenes. It works using Bluetooth Smart.
