Eve Energy Outdoor Outlet with Energy Meter

The Eve Energy Outdoor Outlet with Energy Meter from Eve uses Matter over Thread to connect to your smart home. Thread is a low-power mesh network built for devices like a Energy Monitor, Outlet. Devices pass messages to each other, so the mesh gets stronger and reaches further with every router you add.

In a Thread network, the Eve Energy Outdoor Outlet with Energy Meter works as a Router (FTD).

Border Router (TBR)

A Thread Border Router connects your Thread devices to your home network, so no extra hub is needed.

Router (FTD)

A Thread Router stays powered on and relays messages for other devices, extending the range of your network.

End Device (MTD)

A Thread End Device talks to nearby routers and does not relay messages, which saves power and battery life.

Every Thread router you add makes your mesh stronger and extends its range. See all Thread devices →
