Thread makes your smart home more responsive and robust, and is one of the pillars of Matter, the smart home standard of the future. This is why Eve is embracing Thread, offering the world’s largest portfolio of Thread-enabled devices.
HomeKit over Thread
Welcome to the smart home of the future – today.
Say hello to Thread.
Thread technology is specifically developed for smart home applications to improve connectivity between devices. Now, smart home devices can communicate not only using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, but also using Thread.
The big difference with this technology is that Thread creates a mesh network. Within this, lights, thermostats, outlets, sensors, and more can also talk to each other free of the constraint of having to go through a bridge. That’s because a Thread network doesn’t need one. If a single device fails, the data packets are simply relayed to the next in the mesh. In short: The network becomes more robust with every additional Thread device.

The benefits for you.
No bridge
Thread devices don’t need a proprietary bridge to communicate with each other – they simply need a Thread Border Router.
Always in reach
If one of your devices is beyond the actual reach of your Thread Border Router, a mains-powered device placed somewhere in the middle that’s always on, such as Eve Energy, can connect it to the Thread network.
Robust, self-healing network
If one device in your Thread network fails, the next one fills in. Thread scales up easily and actually becomes more robust with every new device, unlike Wi-Fi and Bluetooth networks which become more unreliable and challenging to manage with a high number of devices connected.
Ultra-responsive
Thread was designed specifically to enable both mains-powered and battery-operated devices to be extremely responsive regardless of network size and density.
Longer battery life
Batteries last much longer thanks to Thread’s extremely low power consumption.
Future-proof
Thread is a pillar of the new smart home standard Matter. All Thread-enabled Eve devices will receive free firmware updates over time – so if you purchase a Thread-enabled Eve device today, you're already prepared for Matter.
