The current version of Eve Aqua supports Thread. This technology makes your smart home network more responsive, robust, and increases its reach – the only thing you need is a home hub (Thread border router). Battery-operated Thread accessories, such as Eve Aqua, represent endpoints in your Thread network. 

By contrast, mains-powered Thread accessories that are always on, such as Eve Energy, Eve Energy Outdoor, Eve Energy Outlet, Eve Light Switch, Eve Shutter 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. Learn more

Eve Aqua’s standard 26.5 mm / ¾" thread fits virtually any regular outdoor faucet. When fitting Eve Aqua, screw it all the way on to the faucet using your fingers. Ensure it fits securely and that no water escapes even when the valve is shut.

Adding HomePod mini or the newest Apple TV to your home means Thread-enabled Eve accessories such as Eve Aqua can communicate via Thread – the mesh network that reaches even the farthest corners of your abode. This happens automatically without you needing to configure anything. Simply position a Full Thread Device, such as Eve Energy, as close as possible to your Eve Aqua. The Eve Energy accessory will then act as a Thread hub and relay data packets from Eve Aqua. 

In the Settings section of the Eve app, you can view the structure of your thread network under "Thread network" and identify potential for improvement: Which node is Eve Aqua talking to? Can the stability and range be improved with another node, e.g. another or better placed Eve Energy? 

Once set up, Eve Aqua works completely autonomously. It’s entirely up to you if you want to use the HomeKit automation and remote access functions that require a home hub.

Yes, standard threads on both connectors, a hose adapter, and a pressure range of Min 1 bar / Max 5 bar ensure compatibility with any common irrigation equipment.

While Eve Aqua is weatherproof and UV resistant, you should prevent it from freezing up, just like your hoses and sprinklers.

Using a water flow meter (starting at USD $20) is the most convenient way. Alternatively, use a measuring bucket to collect a minute’s worth of water from each outlet in your system.
