Now the Eve can be added to a ‘room’ which is a virtual assignation in HomeKit that may or may not correlate to an actual room, since you get to configure this how you want. But once installed, this works the same way as the instructions, above, for iOS 12. This is a bit mystifying when you go searching in the App Store for the Eve app, as you won’t find it. Under iOS 13x, you need the Eve Home app, as Apple has changed and expanded how HomeKit works for the updated iOS.

The Elgato Eve app, by the way, as per the directions in the little, very easy-to-follow included setup booklet, doesn’t exist for iOS 13 so I guess that little printed manual will be updated according to the manufacturing schedule, since mine still had the iOS 12 directions in it. Line that up with the rectangle on the camera screen (inside the app itself), and it registers the code, there’s a pause of about a minute and they’re paired.

Open the app and it asks to ‘see’ the code number included with the unit – this is on the little Get Started guide clipped to the inside of the box lid you took the unit out of. Download the Elgato Eve app from the App Store (it’s free).

Setup - For iOS 12, setup is as follows: unbox the unit and plug it into the socket. Now you can also activate or deactivate any device that’s plugged into it using your voice over Siri (which is integrated nicely) or directly, with a tap, on your device. Thanks to the beauty and behind-the-scenes complexity of HomeKit, of course, once you’ve configured your setup on one device, it’s replicated on all thanks to iCloud integration, assuming they’re all signed into the same Apple ID. Make sure the device you want to control is plugged into the Eve and turned on so you can then turn it on or off with your device (or Mac). (Note the Energy is for indoor use only.) There’s a light that glows when it’s on, plus this light is an on/off button if you hold it in for ten seconds.

You plug this into a wall socket or power strip and control it with your iPhone, Apple Watch or Mac (all of any of them). There are many HomeKit-enabled devices now in the geek-o-sphere, and we are finally getting some of the really well-made ones in New Zealand.Įve Energy is very simple to look at: it’s essentially a little power plug (7.1×7.2cm across) that goes into a power socket, with a female socket, in turn, on the outer face.
