Eve has officially joined the Works with Home Assistant program, adding a broad lineup of Matter‑over‑Thread devices to the certified ecosystem. This move underscores Home Assistant’s commitment to local control, privacy, and long‑term support for smart home hardware.
Ongoing Matter commitment
This certification is part of a broader, multi‑year effort by Eve to embrace and advance the Matter standard, especially in Thread-wise. Over the past year, Eve has regularly introduced new Matter‑native products, such as the Eve Dimmer Switch and Eve Energy Outdoor, and is concurrently rolling out firmware updates to upgrade existing lines (like the original Eve Energy and Eve Weather) to Matter compatibility. Those updates ensure that long‑time owners can benefit from the same local, interoperable experience as buyers of brand‑new devices.
Eve Dimmer Switch (U.S. & Canada)
The Eve Dimmer Switch uses Thread technology to provide precise, flicker-free lighting control with voice commands, automation, and seamless smart home integration.
The new partnership would ensure better compatibility with Home Assistant, the Matter-certified open-source platform. You would experience fewer issues while using devices included in the program, as they should have extensive tests in collaboration with the Home Assistant team.
Certified devices for Home Assistant
Eve’s Works with Home Assistant certification covers a variety of Thread‑based products:
-
Eve Door & Window sensor
-
Eve Energy Outlet
-
Eve Energy Outdoor Outlet
-
Eve Energy (indoor power monitor)
-
Eve Light Switch (U.S. & Canada)
-
Eve Dimmer Switch
-
Eve Motion sensor
-
Eve Thermo (radiator valve)
-
Eve Weather
-

All of these connect natively over Matter and Thread to Home Assist, no Eve app, cloud account, or extra bridge needed.
A step toward local‑first automation
Eve, a German brand acquired by ABB, focuses on products that work without a cloud dependency. Its devices connect straight to Home Assistant, offering fast response and keeping all device data in‑home. Through deep involvement in the Connectivity Standards Alliance, Eve also contributes core technology that other manufacturers can license.
This collaboration bolsters Home Assistant’s open standards and privacy‑first ethos. Alongside partners like Aqara and Motionblinds, Eve’s certification gives users more choice in building a local and reliable smart home with the Matter standard. As such, this offers some interesting possibilities moving forward.
