Elgato Eve Energy Wireless Power Sensor & Switch Review

Today we are taking an in-depth look at the Eve Energy, the wireless power sensor and switch, a small white power adapter that allows you to monitor consumption, remotely control that electronic and track power trends with that device. What more could you ask for from a smart home device? Let’s find out!

With spring finally providing it’s full effect, the urge to begin spring cleaning is inevitable. For some it is the time to clean out that nasty closet, which may look like it consumed that old aunt you coincidently have not seen since she was at your place during the holidays. For others, it’s taking a hard look at ‘the books’ and seeing where your hard earned money is going.

While it’s all but too easy to stare at your hydro bill and see that you’ve used so many kilowatts per hour, it’s not necessarily the easiest way of figuring out whether you are using a lot or a little bit. It also doesn’t tell you whether that older laptop is a power-vampire sucking away your hard-earned dollars. Thanks to Eve Energy you can actually see if that device is a power-sucker, munching away on your hard earned dollars. Let’s see how the Eve Energy can help you!

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Starting outside and working our way in, the exterior of the packaging is bright, clean and fresh, just like the time of year. The front of the box is simple, a full-frontal of the Eve Energy and a glimpse at its features.

The back touches a bit more on the details of each feature while proudly displaying an iPhone running the Eve iOS application.

Once we open up the packaging we are greeted by the white, shimmering Eve Energy. This glossy white cube has the all too common, stunned-face like, look of your typical north american electric outlet. You’ll notice a LED located at the bottom right, this also serves as a power switch. If this is green, you’ve got power running to whatever is plugged into the Eve Energy, all of which can be controlled from your iPhone.
