Easy InstallationThe Eve Door & Window is a wireless contact sensor that fulfils one purpose at its core – detecting whether a certain door or window has been opened. However, using this as a trigger for Eve Scenes is where things start to get interesting. For example, you could have your Eve Thermo reduce the heating once it detects a window has been opened. Battery powered operation allows you to place the device without having to think about the closest electrical outlet. Apple HomeKit compatibility also means that you can ask Siri about the current status of doors and windows around your home.
All advantages at a glance:
- No bridging devices required
- Ideal as a home security device (with iPad or Apple TV)
- Use it with Eve Scenes.
- Long lasting battery.

Setting it up - easier than it looks
Despite its slightly intimidating appearance, setting up the Eve Door & Window is surprisingly straightforward. Included at delivery are 4 spacers that make calibration easy. The quick start guide takes you through both the installation of the Eve app and adding in your new devices.
Exclusively for Apple
The Eve products have been designed to work exclusively with iOS device, so you’ll need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (with iOS 11.2 or later) in order to use the Eve Door & Window. Owners of an Apple Watch can also use this to interact with the Eve products, allowing one to set up Scenes directly on the smartwatch itself.
Your automated smart home
Automating the behavior of the device and accessing it remotely will require a home hub in the form of an Apple TV (tvOS 11 or later) or an iPad (with iOS 11 or later). Remote access allows you to use the Eve Door & Window as a first defense against home intruders, as it will continue to deliver information about the status of your door or window even when you’re far away from home.
An idea for your Eve network
Even without the home hub, the device still works well as part of your larger Eve network. For example, you could place it on the front door and have it function as a trigger for activating your home entertainment system connected to an Eve Energy. This way you can come home to a house filled with music every day, from the moment you step in the door.
