Eve Motion (Matter) Smart Motion Sensor with Thread

This compact sensor detects movement across a 120° field of view and up to 9 meters, combines motion and ambient light data to trigger lights or devices, and works with Matter for cross-platform compatibility. It's designed for simple integration into modern smart homes using Thread networks and supports local operation without cloud dependence.

How does Eve Motion (Matter) detect motion and light?

The sensor uses a wide-angle passive infrared detector for motion and a built-in light sensor to read ambient brightness. Together they let you create automations that only run under specified lighting conditions, avoiding unnecessary triggers.

• 120° field of view covering wide areas.
• Detection range up to 9 meters for typical hallways and rooms.
• Integrated light sensor enables brightness-based automations in the app.

Which smart platforms and hubs does it work with?

Eve Motion (Matter) supports Matter and Thread, so it interoperates with major smart home ecosystems when paired with a compatible hub. A supported platform hub is required for operation and remote automations.

• Apple Home: requires compatible Apple TV or HomePod models.
• Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, and Google Home work via their respective compatible hubs.
• Matter support allows cross-platform device control and voice assistant use.

Is Eve Motion suitable for outdoor use and everyday maintenance?

With IPX3 water resistance and wireless battery operation, the sensor tolerates light rain and outdoor placements where splash protection is enough. Its battery-powered design avoids wiring, so placement is flexible, but full weather exposure or submersion is not supported.

• IPX3 rating protects against spray from up to 60° from vertical.
• Battery operation enables installation where power outlets aren’t nearby.
• Recommended for covered outdoor areas, entryways, porches, and indoor spots.

How do automations and privacy work with Eve Motion?

You can trigger lights and devices based on motion plus brightness thresholds, refine behavior in the Eve app, and receive motion notifications on supported platforms. Eve emphasizes local communication—no cloud registration or tracking—so automations can run without sending data to third-party servers.

• Automate lights and appliances with motion plus light-level conditions.
• Receive motion alerts on supported smartphones and platforms.
• Local-first design: no Eve cloud or mandatory registration for operation.

Who this is for: Eve Motion (Matter) is aimed at homeowners and renters who want a privacy-focused, easy-to-install motion sensor that works across platforms using Matter and Thread. It suits people who need flexible placement—indoors or in sheltered outdoor locations—and who value precise automations based on both movement and ambient light. If you need a wired sensor, full weatherproofing, or systems incompatible with Matter/Thread, consider those specific alternatives instead.
