Our take

Eve’s sensor is the premium choice for people who value privacy: everything runs locally over Thread and Matter, with no account needed.

What we like

  • Alerts in seconds
  • No cloud, account or subscription
  • Works with Apple, Google, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant

Watch out for

  • Pricey per door
  • Uses an uncommon 1/2 AA battery
  • Eve’s own app is iPhone-only

Skip it if you’re covering lots of windows on a tight budget.
