The HomeKit-equipped Eve Energy Strip is now available for order, adding a trio of connected outlets to your smart home.
After being announced earlier this year, the Eve Energy Strip is now available to purchase for $99.95 through select retailers such as Amazon and Best Buy.
The Eve Energy Strip has a trio of outlets, each with their own power button and the ability to be controlled via HomeKit from any of your Apple devices. The Eve Energy Strip has overcurrent, overvoltage, and surge protection built in.
AppleInsider went hands-on with the Eve Energy Strip during the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show and was impressed with the build quality and design of such a useful product.
Eve Energy Strip is controlled via Wi-Fi, has complete data privacy with nothing being sent to outside servers, and supports HomeKit exclusively. You can schedule your devices to turn on/off at specific times, automate them based on your location or motion sensors, and much more.
Thanks to the internal monitors, you are able to view how much electricity is being consumed by your devices and even estimate costs based on your location.
AppleInsider will have a full review soon, so be sure to stay tuned for further coverage.

I saw the UL logo on the box but I didn't see any other logo like CSA so I presume this is a US-only product. I'm always a little disappointed when AI doesn't consider its international readers when reviewing a product. Eve does sell electrical products in Canada so it seems possible that this product could eventually obtain the CSA logo to go with the UL logo. (P.S. I enjoy the AI website, don't let my criticism get you feeling down.)
A power strip with only 3 outlets on it. That's like a MINI power strip. For $100? That's just laughable to me. No thanks.
Sounds a bit pricey for a Bluetooth power strip.
There should be more to it or there should be a lower price.
