As reported by Juli Clover at MacRumors, Eve has today announced an update to the US version of their Eve Energy smart plug that will be released with Thread. Alongside this, the company will be releasing a new version of their Eve Weather and the 2nd gen of Eve Aqua, both also coming with Thread built-in.
The latest EU version of Eve Energy already comes with Thread, so it’s great to see some progress in this manner with the US version, and we assume down the line, the other variants will also get the much talked about updates.
The Eve Energy is reportedly coming out on April 6th, with a price tag of US$40, which in this day and age, is quite steep for even a HomeKit compatible smart plug, but with Eve’s attention to build quality, functionality, and of course Thread, it’s quite likely these will sell like hotcakes.
