Eve Light Strip - Smart LED Strip
Bring any solid surface to life thanks to premium HomeKit-enabled LED technology.
A cue from the sun.
Wake up to warm colors, stay alert and focused midday with cooler ones, and wind down at night by removing blue light — without ever lifting a finger.

Product Description
With Eve Light Strip, bring any solid surface to life thanks to premium HomeKit-enabled LED technology. Activate 1800 lumens for whole-room ambience, or dim to a subtle glow of understated elegance. All in full-spectrum white and millions of colors that you control via Siri or the app. Wi-Fi: Make sure the 2.4 gigahertz band is enabled on your router and that your iPhone is using the band to add the Eve Energy Strip. Later, you may reconnect your iPhone using the 5 gigahertz band. The DHCP function must be activated on the router. Authentication via MAC addresses must be deactivated. All WiFi-based devices with HomeKit support require the Bonjour protocol (Multicast) to work. Make sure that Bonjour and Multicast are enabled on the WiFi router and additional access points. Network tools such as "Storm Control" and others, allow multicast to be restricted and therefore Bonjour. Disable this setting. So-called Powerline/PowerLAN adapters also restrict Bonjour or do not allow it. These access points are not suitable for the use of HomeKit-based WiFi devices.

We love that the light strip has a complete spectrum of colors programable through the app. Brightness can also be adjusted and is so easily programable for preset times of day or various life situations through Siri Shortcuts. Our Apple TV 4k can even be programmed to automatically control the lights. The color adjustment especially has been a delight to us. When we remodeled our kitchen, we were very disappointed that the new countertops were much more yellow of a white than our bright-white tiled backsplash. With the Eve Light Strip, we are able to dial in the exact warmth of light that results in the backsplash perfectly matching the color of the countertops (see photo). We couldn’t be happier.
In the past we have toyed with several generic “smart home” devices that seem to just half work. This Eve is the opposite - it just works! Perfectly, seamlessly, quickly and reliably every time. The Eve is great for our under-cabinet lights in our kitchen. I am now trying to find reasons to buy some more light strips for use in other areas of our home :)

You can also cut the strip down in length and extensions are also available.
I’ve never lost connection to the light strip via WiFi and it is very responsive, showing almost immediate reaction to my adjustments.
My only complaint is the adhesive in the strip is fairly weak and didn’t allow the strip to stay secure to the back of my TV. I added some 3M adhesive strips that hold it in place.
The good: Bright, good app, Apple Homekit compatible and thread technology. I can choose nearly the exact color I want... play with it within home kit or the eve app. The look good and are very bright. I really do like them.
The bad: Quality issues. I have about 6 or 7 of these, and two simply failed. One would never connect to the app (some security issue) the other connected but after a couple of days simply stopped communicating with the App. I did the normal stuff (reboot phone, "reset" the controller through the button, power cycle the controller...). I was not successful and Eve support was not helpful. However, both were within the Amazon return window so I returned them.
The ugly: (1) There are not a lot of easy to use secondary parts to make "Y" connections, or add connectors to make use of the "cut" portions of the strips. I was able to use items like HIPPO and compression connectors, and one or two was fine, but when I had to do several it would inevitably fail. I really would like to find compatible Y and L connections (particularly to the controller) without having to learn to solder; (2) The space between cut points is long (like ~10"); (3) The spacing of the individual LEDs is wide ... ie like all LEDs they are best used in indirect lighting applications. In my case I cut off the silicone rubber protection and put it in an aluminum channel with a diffuser. It helped but it still would not look good in a direct light application.

The lighting is actually quite bright and you can adjust the colors and brightness. More on that later.
Pairing with your iOS device.
- like many apple friendly accessories you simply scan the QR code within the Home App (already in your iPhone or tablet) or you can download the Eve App if you wish.
- once it gets recognized you can assign it to a room etc. And your done.
Works with Siri
- no more looking at your phone to change colors, turn it on or off, or adjust brightness. I mean you can if you want to but just say “hey Siri” and tell her what you want.
- for example I can say, hey Siri:
- turn on my living room lights.
- turn my living room lights to red
- turn my lights down by 50%
Installing
- the strip can be adjusted to the length you desire.
- you can cut along the scissor mark (see pic) if you need a shorter length.
- if you need a longer length you can buy an extension kit and connect it to the female end (see pic)
The strip is very flexible and has adhesive tape built in.
- connect the power adapter to the end of the module (white block that says “elgato” it should say “eve” but probably designed before the company changed names.
Tips:
Make sure you plan out where you want to install it. The adhesive is strong so be sure!
This only works if you have an apple device. iPhone or iPad. Do not buy if you or whoever you’re buying it for doesn’t have an apple device.
