Elgato has launched Eve Degree, a temperature and humidity monitor with Apple’s HomeKit connectivity.
According to the company, the Bluetooth-enabled monitor connects directly to a user’s iPhone. It can be controlled via the LCD display on the unit, Siri activation or the Eve app. In addition, if a fourth-generation Apple TV is present as a Home Hub, the monitor will automatically trigger scenes such as turning on a fan when a specific temperature is reached or activating a humidifier if the air becomes too dry.
The free Eve app stores temperature, humidity and air pressure measurements, visualizes them as graphs and offers data analysis and export functionality, the company said. The monitor is also said to include state of the art sensors, and features an anodized aluminum body with water resistance.
“Eve Degree is a luxurious and classy thermometer but, more importantly, it is seamlessly integrated into iPhone,” said Florian Albrecht, director user experience, Elgato. “By leveraging the strengths of HomeKit and the Eve app, Eve Degree offers reliable usability, superior privacy, and advanced security.”
Eve Degree will be available at the company’s website and Amazon starting June 6 for a suggested retail price of $69.95.
