It was one of the most important novelties of iOS 10 and that probably very few of you have tried ... HomeKit was launched together with the iOS 10 Home app to make it easier to control smart devices in our home, a control that very few of you will have tried due to the small catalog of devices that currently exist on the market, not to mention the prices ...
But this is something that will undoubtedly change, and it is normal that little by little new devices are being launched at somewhat cheaper prices. And this is the strategy the guys from The cat. They just launched the Eve Light Switch so that we can control any electrical switch directly from our iPhone thanks to the new HomeKit.
As we tell you, the Eve Light Switch will allow you to replace any electrical switch in your house and control it from your iPhone. Undoubtedly, the interesting thing about this new Eve Light Switch from the guys from Elgato, is the possibility of control any switch without having to go through a hub to control the devices. The new Eve Light Switch connects to the new Apple TV and it is the latter that makes the Hub. Yes, if you don't have the new Apple TV this is a problem since you need it because the Eve Light Switch only has bluetooth and it connects to our Apple TV through this interface.
Elgato Eve Light Switch is probably one of the best options for all those who want to start trying all the possibilities offered by the new Apple HomeKit, and I mean one of the best possibilities considering that it has a price much lower than other options on the market. You can get the Eve Light Switch for $ 49 although at the moment it is only available in the United StatesYes, do not worry because the products of this brand end up being launched in all countries.
But… what does it consist of? How is it installed? What options do you have? This article creates more doubts than it clears. If you are going to present a product, the most normal thing is that you give information about it and at least one video. I say.
Sorry Ibán, we don't have a video because we haven't tested the product and the brand hasn't uploaded a promotional video yet.
The operation is simple, it simply replaces any electrical switch in our home, that's why we were talking about an electrical switch, it is based on changing the traditional switch for this one with HomeKit.
It only replaces a switch but of course in it we can have several lights connected, plugs ...
Hi there! Is there a product that controls the blinds? As I have read on other pages, the iPad also acts as a Hub. The truth is that this switch has to be amazing. I am looking forward to it to Spain / Europe. Do you know dates? All the best!
