MORE than a smart plug in your wall

Eve's new Energy Outlet puts two smart plugs in your wall for a little more than the cost of a single smart plug. But it also adds some great automation features, while lacking some others Eve has in their older products. Let's talk about the details.

I just wish the energy monitoring was for each of the two outlets instead of being a combined total for the outlet.

Finally, a built in outlet for HomeKit! No more cubes!!! 🎉

Hope they make a UK version of this product. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Thanks for the detailed review. Going to get one for my sump pump to monitor when it’s running and energy usage. I just wish the outlets provided usage independently so I could monitor if my back up pump ever runs to let me know the main pump isn’t working.

I wish one of the light options was “blink with state changes” so it can be off but still useful

[@MartinHannett_]

So lucky I live in the UK with good wall outlets! I always look forward to coming home from abroad to how outlets should be made!

Eric, thank you so much for the video, I’ve actually put in the Eve energy outlet in my kitchen and it has been a game changer for me and my family.

[@MrDingleberry31]

Great review. Thanks for the info

[@jimmoore1689]

I have four installed already with one more waiting to find a home. I have a feeling I’ll be adding even more because my wife is not a fan of the plugs being “off” the wall. Makes placing furniture difficult. These outlets alleviate that issue

[@geoffwelchtv]

Dude. Tell me more about this hoodie. I’ve been looking for something with a finished look on the inside like this!

[@gavproductions]

Eric. Did just install the outlet without a ground wire?

[@generallyhelpfulsoftware646]

I’d really recommend using Wagos with stranded wire.

[@NewHomeTech]

Great video, I have the perfect spot for one of these which will eliminate the bulky presence of the original Eve energy. Wish it could give you energy monitoring on each outlet but I can live with that. Just going to wait for that Prime day sell lol.

[@Dr_Cole]

I grabbed two of these recently. The only thing I don’t like is that won’t come out of the box and install themselves for me 😮. I will actually be adding these as new outlets so I am awaiting the contractor to come out and add these.

😂

When are you going to check Insteon products!

[@SG-lj8uu]

Is there an alternative to this? There does not seem to be a European plug version

[@SteveStowell]

Looks like Eric lives in chicago
