Eve HomeKit product line

With products ranging from $39 to $79, Eve makes it easy to add sensors and smart switches to your home. Air quality, temperature, humidity are just a few of the indoor and outdoor data points you can see. You can make any light "smart" with a small outlet module that also measures energy consumption.
