Eve smart plug is on sale. It's compatible with SmartThings and Apple Home

The Eve Energy smart plug costs 756 Kč on Alza. It is thus cheaper than the September offer with a code, when it cost 895 Kč. It is in stock, can measure consumption, and you can connect it to Google Home, Apple Home, and Samsung SmartThings. However, for smart control, it needs the respective hub.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense: For 756 Kč as an addition to a smart home where you already have a compatible hub and want to control appliances and monitor their consumption.
⚠️ Consider: Without a suitable hub, expect another purchase. The availability of consumption data in your app needs to be verified.
💡 The plug also has a manual switch, so you don’t have to reach for your phone for regular switching.

Makes the most sense in a home with a compatible hub

Eve uses Matter and Thread protocols. Before buying, therefore, verify the compatibility of your specific home hub; support for a popular app alone is not enough. If you don’t have a compatible hub, factor in its purchase as well.

You can control the connected light or appliance remotely, set a schedule for it, or integrate it into a scenario with other smart home elements, for example, turning on the light upon motion detection. You can also turn the plug on and off manually with the switch directly on it.

Consumption measurement yes, don’t expect automatic savings

According to the seller, the meter tracks the total electricity consumption passing through the plug, and the data can be displayed in the app. This is a more useful basis for decision-making than a general promise of savings: the measurement itself will not reduce the bill, but it will help identify which appliance deserves attention. Savings then depend on whether and how you limit its operation.

However, it is not clear from the description whether consumption data is displayed across all supported platforms. If you are buying the plug primarily for measurement, verify the availability of this feature specifically in your app.
