Munich, August 29, 2017 — Elgato today announced the second generation of the connected radiator valve Eve Thermo. Eve Thermo introduces capacitive touch control, integrated temperature display of the target temperature. Furthermore, Eve Thermo can be controlled via schedules, HomeKit automations, Siri, Apple Home and the Eve app.
Eve Thermo features precise temperature control, frost damage protection and automatic valve maintenance. Energy-saving functions include open-window detection, presence detection and holiday automation. Eve Thermo includes all the features needed to keep rooms warm and comfortable, reliably, economically and automatically year round.
As with all Eve family products, HomeKit is natively supported by iOS devices. Meaning all Elgato Eve products work right out of the box, without spending extra on a bridge device or starter pack. Eve Thermo is available from September 26th for £59.95.
The target temperature can be adjusted in increments of 0.5° C via a white-translucent LCD display and a capacitive touch control. The display is activated by a simple fingertip and switches off a few moments after the last input. The Eve app makes it easy to adjust the display orientation so you can mount Eve Thermo vertically or horizontally. You can even lock the keypad if your valve works in the kids' room, or a publicly accessible space. Despite the extended range of functions, Eve Thermo comes with a longer battery life of over 12 months.
Like the first generation of Eve Thermo, the new model also uses the reliable control technology from Eurotronic, one of Germany's market leaders in electronic radiator control systems. Eve Thermo can be controlled with schedules stored in the device, automated by HomeKit rules or timers, or via Siri, Apple Home and the Eve app to set your comfort temperature.
Eve Thermo is priced at £59.95 and will be available from September 26th at Elgato and Amazon and soon at Apple. The Eve app is available for free in the App Store.
