EveAqua – Smart water controller for Apple Home app or Siri, irrigate automatically with schedules, easy to use, remote access, no bridge, Bluetooth, Thread, HomeKit, Silver (20ECC8101)

Work straight away. No hassle. I know you have to have good 2.4ghz WiFi for IoT devices, so I didn’t suffer from poor connectivity that others have cited. It does a good job of being easy.Some discovery on scheduling required via the Eve App - no scheduling immediately available in Apple HomeKit, but that’s to be expected

This is the third one I have bought to automate my garden watering. I now have one for the grass, one for the plants and one for a general hose pipe.Two of the units are scheduled to turn on at certain times for certain durations. They have all been reliable. I had a little trouble with range however since adding more Eve products around the home and garden, their connectivity has improved.

Incredibly spotty behaviour. It will say in the app it’s running when it isn’t. No idea why it sometimes works and sometimes it doesn’t.UPDATE:It’s completely given up responding. It was stuck on for god knows how long and just won’t turn off anymore.Terrible device. Do not buy and go for one of their competitors instead.

Because it is battery operated, when it turns off your HomeKit system won’t know and it will show that it’s been watering constantly. Flowrate has to be entered by hand. It easily added 2 shortcut to pause the watering, but they only work when it’s currently watering.I’ve added my home location and hopefully set it not to water if there a 50% chance of rain

Looks great compared to others. Easy to setup. No need for a hub, just the Eve app or Apple Homekit. Automations work well so plants get their drink in time every day. Like the fact it also works with (controls) 3rd party 6 way water distributors like Gardena.

The Apple Home / Shortcuts are what makes this device stand out. It would be worth the money without them but the ability to adjust your schedule based on the weather forecast and skip days from your schedule after rain is so good. I’d also recommending buying a tap splitter separately, rather than a device that has 2 outputs, if you still want to be able to use the tap with other attachments.

Eve aqua is well worth the investment. The eve app makes it simple to configure and it has integration with apple HomeKit. There is also added thread support that connects to HomePod mini and appleTV.

Works great. Seamless integration with the Apple home app and siri. Only problem is after 1 year of usage this thing leaks like a sieve so is pretty useless, unless you enjoy wasting water.
