Eve Motion is a smart motion sensor that switches lights and other connected devices on when it detects movement, and off again once the room is still. A built-in light sensor sits alongside the motion detection, so an automation can be set to trigger only when the room is actually dark rather than every time somebody walks past in daylight.It speaks Matter over Thread. That is the practical part: Thread builds a low-power mesh between mains-powered devices in the home, so the sensor does not depend on a strong Wi-Fi signal reaching a hallway or a garage, and Matter means it works with the major smart home platforms rather than only one.IPX3 water resistance covers spraying water, so it can go into a carport, a porch or a covered walkway as well as indoors. That is protection against rain reaching it at an angle, not immersion. Browse the wider smart home range at Everyday Home Living.
