Unfortunately the app is not that great, and tries to replace Homekit and wants access to all your connected devices
The app is pretty good but one thing that stands out is the is the logs
The design is great, and the app is pretty cool because you can program it to link up with HomeKit and do a lot of things there.
I like these switches and Eve makes a pretty good app too, but I'm returning many of the ones I bought for areas where I use motion detection automation - they are just too slow to respond and sometimes don't respond at all
Their Eve App is probably the best home automation app available and it works with all HomeKit devices that I have tried
I have mixed feelings about this switch, on one side it is pretty good looking switch, capacitive touch surface works really smooth and is very responsive to touch, installation and pairing was very easy, i used the Elgato eve app to pair and the home app recognized the configuration instantly so far so good
I love the capacitive touch and how clean these look, and they are very responsive to touch, but with slow response to others ways of turning on/automation, I can't recommend these switches
The other great thing about this is the app itself, I love how straight forward this is for setting up automation or certain triggers, plus it's a clean looking app, which lets you control other devices
Which, again brings me back to "why bluetooth"?- The aforementioned green LED dot that glows when the light is off
Pairing was a breeze and the switch blends in perfectly with, in my opinion, an attractive small green LED back light when off (not at all bright or distracting, convenient in the dark for guests)

You are reading snippets from reviews of Eve Light Switch, Connected Wall Switch with Apple HomeKit technology, for iOS, Bluetooth low energy
Easy light switch works with Siri.had few issues but mostly works
At any rate, software works well, easy to set up and configure
This switch works perfectly fine, but being bluetooth, and not having any sort of physical button make it not as transparent as it could be
Switch works great with Siri and the Home app on iPhone
The wires from the switch are braided core and most home wiring is solid core so twisting the connections isn't perfect, though the included twist connectors work fine
The installation was super easy, especially with me not having any electrical experience at all
The switch responds instantly to touch and works as well as or better than any manual light switch

I also like the little green light when the light is off.

A nice little green light shows me which one is the Eve
My previous review complained about the delay in turning lights on/off when using HomeKit

Reset the switch 4) if all else fails, reset your phoneIn all, a great device, but the setup in the app is very buggy and needs to be flushed out
n’t lose it
Setup was stupid easy, no problems so far!
Install was fairly easy, setup was easy, works great with the Apple Home app and Siri on the watch and phone
Easy setup from my iPhone, HomeKit 'just worked' for me, including having the AppleTV take over as the hub so that I could control my light from outside the
