Eve Aqua smart home device much improved in latest version
Eve Systems has introduced the third generation of Eve Aqua, its award-winning smart irrigation controller with Apple HomeKit technology. It’s a nifty smart home device that lets you keep your garden watered automatically, at least while water supplies last.
Redesigned and with better Matter
The new Eve Aqua has a new design. That means a space grey body and matte black front, a robust brass faucet connector and a magnetic valve to ensure improved durability, better leak protection, and near-silent operation.
“Eve Aqua looks gorgeous and makes smart gardening easy, safe and joyful,” says Jerome Gackel, CEO, Eve Systems. “Thread eliminates the need for a digital bridge, while the brass faucet adapter ensures a rock-solid physical connection. And of course, our beautiful Eve app brings it all together, making scheduling, and monitoring consumption, a breeze.”
Eve Aqua is part of Eve’s growing portfolio of products that support HomeKit over Thread, leveraging a HomePod mini or the new Apple TV 4K to power your smarthome. It is compatible with most hose systems and multi-channel water distributors such as Gardena – plus it offers 7 watering periods.
The new generation of Eve Aqua is one of 14 products in the Eve portfolio to support Thread, a technology that is a pillar of Matter. Thread-enabled Eve products – including Eve Aqua – will receive free over-the-air firmware updates so you can use them with other Matter ecosystems like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, or Samsung SmartThings. Simply position a Full Thread Device, such as Eve Energy, as close as possible to your Eve Aqua.
