The editors liked

  • Simplicity of product
  • And seamless setup. Works with HomeKit FLAWLESSLY and the graphed data within Elgato's app is unmatched
  • Snazzy looking
  • Easy configuration
  • Only one can be used per duplex socket
  • Capable app with energy usage feedback
  • Acts as a barometer
  • Thermometer
  • And air quality sensor
  • Connects seamlessly via Bluetooth and HomeKit
  • Simple and easy to use
  • Easy setup
  • Offers quick control & consumption monitoring
  • Welldesigned companion app
  • The Elgato Eve Energy smart plug is compact
  • HomeKit enabled and features one of the deeper HomeKit apps out there

The editors didn't like

  • I would've liked the Eve Energy to be a bit smaller in width since it can only really be used in the bottom outlet
  • Maybe TWO outlets in another model
  • It would be nice if an Apple TV hub were not needed
  • Currently does not support switching on and off according to a schedule
  • Pricey for a remote on/off switch
  • Bluetooth limits automation functions
  • Expensive
  • Just one socket
  • Can't be used outdoors
  • The $50 price tag still feels a little high for products like this
  • And the app lacks the intuitive user interface of its competition. Worst of all
  • You can't control it remotely without an Apple TV

  • It would be nice if an Apple TV hub were not needed
  • I found the Elgato Eve Switches and buttons cost-effective, well-constructed and reliable. The switches work similarly to other manufacturers, but the energy collection data is top-notch. I am looking forward to fully implementing the system and getting t...

  • Abstract:  It's true what they say. Once you dive into the Smart Home territory, you can't stop. You'd soon want a smart power switch that automatically turns itself off when not used for a while (handy if you often forget to turn your iron off). Or a smart security...

  • Design is nice, Offers great energy monitoring, Works with HomeKit
  • Expensive, Bulky design
  • The Elgato Eve Energy smart switch is decently well-designed and easy to set up. You will get more out of it with the Eve app, which will show things like power usage, but if you don't care about that feature or don't want it, then the switch works perfec...
