Elgato presents the first HomeKit compatible products

Elgato won the battle. The company is the first to introduce products that are compatible with Apple's HomeKit. Among these products: its Eve health home automation system.

Elgato said through his CEO Dr. Markus Fest: "HomeKit offers a simple, convenient and safe solution with no monthly fees or the need to purchase a starter kit. It’s the start of something big, and we’re excited to be part of it. "

The company had presented Eve to us at CES 2015. Its particularity: to use Bluetooth LE rather than a WiFi connection and thus do without a central hub. Among the products announced is Eve Room. This device monitors the air quality, temperature and humidity of a room.

Next is the Eve Door and Window device. It is a detector which is placed on windows and doors and which makes it possible to check the state of entries and exits at your place. It is ideal for detecting any intrusion attempt. Eve Weather is a smart health smart health connected object that monitors the temperature outside your health home. It will record the temperature, humidity and air pressure. Finally, there is Eve Energy which will record the amount of energy your devices use and allow you to turn them on or off remotely.

The brand's devices will be controlled from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch running iOS 8.3 or higher. You will need to download either the Eve Elgato app or the HomeKit app when it launches later this year.

Prices for the Eve smart device line start at $ 39.95 for Eve Door and Window and go up to $ 79.95 for Eve Room. These products will be available in July in Apple stores.
