I see that the Eve Aqua works over Thread, but doesn't support Matter (which is kind of unusual). Can I still pair it with Home Assistant somehow? I'm not using Apple Home. I'd like to paid directly with HA if possible.
I'm done with EVE! After struggling with their devices for about 5 years, I finally drew a line under it today. Five years of thinking, “Yeah, thread is still new, it just needs a few updates, but THIS is the future,” and “Matter is still new, but eventually it'll work without any problems.” No, neither is true! I use Eve devices with HomeKit and Home Assistant, and whenever a device causes problems, it’s always an Eve device. No matter what. First, the outdoor camera died—it simply wouldn’t pair anymore (a software crash in the device). Then a window sensor that now just won’t connect either. Again and again, various sensors or outlets stop responding. EVE products are simply WAY too expensive for this level of unreliability. I’d rather stick with Aqara and keep expanding my ZigBee network. It’s much simpler, faster, and more reliable.
