Press the button until the LED flashes red 5 times.

Yes you can. For automations, Apple Home makes no difference whether your devices were added to your home through HomeKit or Matter.

Yes. The little green LED is a button that you simply press. That way, whether your phone is out of reach, you don’t want to disturb the peace with a voice command, or a guest does not have access, Eve Energy Outdoor can be operated like a regular switch.

The current version of Eve Energy Outdoor supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only other thing you need is a home hub (Thread border router).

Mains-powered Thread devices that are always on, such as Eve Energy, Eve Light Switch, or Eve Water Guard, can act as router nodes within your Thread network and relay data packets. So, the more of these Full Thread Devices (FTDs) you have in your network, the more stable and greater its reach becomes. By contrast, battery-operated Thread devices, such as Eve Aqua, Eve Door & Window, Eve Flare, Eve Motion, Eve MotionBlinds, Eve Room, Eve Thermo and Eve Weather represent endpoints in the Thread network (or Minimal Thread Devices – MTDs).
