EveAqua – Smart Water Controller for Apple Home app or Siri, irrigate Automatically with schedules, Easy to use, Remote Access, no Bridge, Bluetooth/Thread, HomeKit

Have two of these to water decorative plants and a raised bed garden via drip irrigation. I have two HomeKit automations that run the two different watering operations. Everything is Set and forget… I remove them just before the winter freeze and bring them inside awaiting next year’s season. The batteries last the entire season so no monitoring necessary.

I have had such great success with all of the other Eve products that I was excited to add the water valve to my smart home gear. Promises of long battery life, superior range (compared to WiFi) and broad compatibility with Matter over Thread, sign me up.Outcome, I would not buy this product again. Everything was great except for build quality. This is the second one that I purchased and they both have failed. Customer service was poor on my first experience and I ended up returning the valve to Amazon because I couldn’t get Eve customer service to help me. Chocking up the first product failure to build defect, I bought a second one. The product worked great for the 2024 summer. I turned on the sprayer today 4/24/25 to kick off watering for spring and I was met with a failed valve body, split at the injection molding seam. I am not going to bother with customer service again because it cost me time with people that I could not understand and they couldn’t fix my problem the first time.Bye Eve water products. You need better product QC and a more robust valve body.

Loved how simple ir was to install. Bit pricey but worth it.

Nice water timer, but the lack of a Matter support update so far is dissapointing. For what it does, it's expensive. If this company was super on top of software support and updated it with matter support already, and dropped the price by $50, it would be 5 stars

I've had this model for less than a year. I bought it to integrate into Apple HomeKit, which it did ok at first. I disliked the EVE app off the bat, as you have to give it complete access to your Apple Home. Subsequently all of the things connected to my smart home were showing up in their app, which is unnecessary. I wanted the app only to control the device. Period. But that's not an option. Within a month it would start to lose connectivity, even though my hub is about 6' away from the unit. Then, it stopped running for the designated set time about a month ago. I had drip hoses connected to it and was set to run 30 mins a day, but began turning off after 5-10 mins. Then within the last few weeks it started leaking. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps for the above issues, but the issues remain unresolved. I've gone on to another brand!

I liked v1's features generally - it worked well with homekit and my thread network - but it was a pain in the ass to hook up and it would leak constantly due to the cheap plastic and shallow threads at the connection point. V2 solves these issues - the threads on at least one side are metal and deep enough to be sturdy, and it's easier to grip and turn/tighten. It didnt leak at all when I connected it. If the rest of the features hold up and are as good as v1, then this is basically the perfect DIY watering automation device.

There are junk. I wanted to love them. I kept buying and replacing them when they failed. They don't last two years and even under warranty customer support does not respond to address your warranty claim. The only way to contact them is thru an online form that creates a case number. These is no follow-up once the case is created and no response to any status update inquiries.I only use the Eve Aquas April through September and store them indoors during the winter in the north east.. The latest failure is the valve won't close so the irrigator runs continuously. I have been through 4 Aquas over the past 3 years. The HomeKIt integration is really great... when they work. Look elsewhere. There are plenty of smart water timers that are cheaper - so at least if the fail its only half the cost. I have replaced the Aquas with an alternative... fingers crossed.

I have several Eve products. Love them all. You do have to use the Eve app directly for most of the settings (the ones that matter). I can still start the sprinkler with my Apple Home app though.
