Eve Aqua – Smart water controller for Apple Home app or Siri, irrigate automatically with schedules, easy to use, remote access, no bridge, Bluetooth, Thread, HomeKit, Silver (20ECC8101)

Work straight away. No hassle. I know you have to have good 2.4ghz WiFi for IoT devices, so I didn’t suffer from poor connectivity that others have cited. It does a good job of being easy. Some discovery on scheduling required via the Eve App - no scheduling immediately available in Apple HomeKit, but that’s to be expected

This is the third one I have bought to automate my garden watering. I now have one for the grass, one for the plants and one for a general hose pipe. Two of the units are scheduled to turn on at certain times for certain durations. They have all been reliable. I had a little trouble with range however since adding more Eve products around the home and garden, their connectivity has improved.

I bought this product to be able to water a lawn remotely and when I felt it was needed. I set it up according to the instructions and everything seemed fine. That was until I was about 15 feet away, then the app said the product was unreachable. I read and reread the very minimalist documentation - similar in design to Apple products. The main difference between this product and an Apple product is that Apple's work, this doesn't. Without another piece of equipment you cannot connect to this item with Wifi - you can only use Bluetooth and only within a few feet. At this moment, I'm looking through a window at the item, it's about 12 ft away and it's "unreachable". Totally useless. Don't buy.

Because it is battery operated, when it turns off your HomeKit system won’t know and it will show that it’s been watering constantly. Flowrate has to be entered by hand. It easily added 2 shortcut to pause the watering, but they only work when it’s currently watering. I’ve added my home location and hopefully set it not to water if there a 50% chance of rain

Looks great compared to others. Easy to setup. No need for a hub, just the Eve app or Apple Homekit. Automations work well so plants get their drink in time every day. Like the fact it also works with (controls) 3rd party 6 way water distributors like Gardena.

Setup was great works brilliantly only criticism is the scheduling is a bit clunky could be made much easier in the app

Eve aqua is well worth the investment. The eve app makes it simple to configure and it has integration with apple HomeKit. There is also added thread support that connects to HomePod mini and appleTV.

The Apple Home / Shortcuts are what makes this device stand out. It would be worth the money without them but the ability to adjust your schedule based on the weather forecast and skip days from your schedule after rain is so good. I’d also recommending buying a tap splitter separately, rather than a device that has 2 outputs, if you still want to be able to use the tap with other attachments.

Facilissima l’installazione sia fisica che in app. Ottimo prodotto

منتج رائع يدعم THREAD ممتاز جداً ذكي يعيبه انه لا يدعم الواي فاي

I use this product to control a shower for my cat (she likes to take water showers for some reason) with an automation from a motion sensor. It works flawlessly and the cat can now take showers anytime she wants.

Werkt prima. Wel wat lawaaiig maar dan weet je dat hij aangaat. Heb m nu een maand in gebruik maar het was nog niet erg droog. Gelukkig kan je de app zo instellen dat bij regen het sproeien een dagje wordt overgeslagen. Kan nog niet inschatten of dit ding geel lang meegaat. Voelt niet super degelijk aan. Afdichting is ook niet heel indrukwekkend. Zou m dus niet het hele jaar buiten laten hangen. De koppeling met de kraan is wat kwetsbaar omdat er best veel kracht op de kunststof koppeling komt. Ik heb er een gardena koppeling opgezet met een stukje slang er aan waardoor de koppeling met de kraan flexibel is.

Works like a charm and the installation and integration with Homekit is wonderful (it also works perfectly without Apple Home). I would have liked more gardening features: such as automatic weather planning so that it doesn't water in the rain; an ability to link with hydrogrometer etc, although these are features you can find in other products (eg Hyve), I prefer Eve Aqua for it's reliability and ease of use.
