Motion Sensor

Easy Installation

Eve’s smart motion sensor, the Eve Motion, is ideal for anyone looking for both added convenience and security. Connecting it up with your other Eve devices allows you to use your presence or absence to activate device behavior. For example, you could program the Eve Motion together with your Eve Thermo to only switch on your home heating when you’re actually in the room. It works great as a standalone security system, notifying you on your phone if it detects anything (even when you’re not at home if you own an Apple TV or iPad).

All advantages at a glance:

IPX3 waterproofed
Battery powered
Long range detection
Cableless design
Apple HomeKit compatible

The smart motion sensor from elgato is ideal for households with families - your kids will think it’s magic! Set it up so that all the lights in your child’s bedroom activate as soon as he or she enters the room. You could also place it next to a dog or cat flap in order to keep track of your pet’s whereabouts. Alternatively, it can also help keep your family safe. The device is small enough to go undetected by anyone who does not know it’s there, so home intruders won’t be able to deactivate it.

Product Information

No cables: The device is powered by two AA batteries, allowing you to place it freely around your home without having to think about the nearest outlet.
Without Bridge or Gateway: Unlike other smart product families, the Eve range doesn’t require a central bridging device to function.
Long range: Eve Motion can detect movement up to 27 feet away at a viewing angle of 120˚. Long range tracking makes it ideal for use outdoors.
Keeps you informed: The motion sensor continues to send your notifications even when you’re not at home so that you don’t miss a thing when it comes to the security of your home (requires an Apple TV or iPad).
Suitable for outdoor use: IPX3 certification guarantees protection against spraying water such as rain, snow and sleet. You can place it in your garden without worrying about it receiving water damage.
Apple HomeKit: The Eve range has been designed to work exclusively with Apple devices and the Apple HomeKit. Here, you can integrate it with other compatible products from third-party manufacturers.

The Eve Motion in action

Quick installation

Setting up the Eve Motion is quick and painless:

Insert the batteries
Launch or Download the Eve App
Tap ‘Add New Device’ in the app
Scan in the HomeKit code found on the device with your iPhone or iPad.

All done! No additional products such as bridging or gateway devices required.

Designed for Apple

The Eve products have been designed specifically to work with Apple devices. You can operate them using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch (with iOS 10.3 or later) as well as with the Apple Watch.

If you want to connect it into your Wifi network or receive notifications when you’re not at home, you’ll need to have an Apple TV (with tvOS 10 or later) or iPad to function as a home hub.

Let your creativity soar

There are plenty of ways make good use of the Eve Motion, particularly when it’s used with Eve Scenes. For example, you could have your presence be used as a trigger for a lamp connected to an Eve Energy. The light will turn on within seconds of you entering the room without you having to manually switch it on.

You can also set up more complex device behaviors. You could set up a scene called “Lights out”, which could switch off all lights in your home once the Motion detects you’ve exited the front door during certain hours of day.
