Elgato Eve Door & Window

Top Pro

Reliably logs each time the door opens

The Elgato Eve reliably logs each time the door is opened - every time the door opened there was a log entry synced up with the app within just a few minutes. See More

Top Con

Can't react - only passively logs information

While Elgato could have included an alarm or other feature in the Eve, they didn't. It is incapable of actively doing anything, making it useless in the event of an intruder. See More

Top Pro

Year long battery life

The Eve is powered by a single half-length AA battery, and its expected runtime is about 1 year. See More

Top Con

No push notifications

You won't be notified when a door or window is opened - instead you will have to open the app and check the history (or ask Siri). See More

Top Pro

Physically small unit with a minimalist design

Both parts of the Elgate Eve are white rectangular boxes with slightly curved edges, and they look great. There aren't any gaping ports or other eyesores on them. They are also small enough to not easily be noticeable if you aren't actively looking for them. See More

Top Con

Replacement batteries are hard to find and expensive

The 1/2AA batteries this device uses allow it to be more compact, however these batteries are significantly more expensive and harder to find than a regular battery standard. See More
