The Eve Button does what it says on the box, but ultimately proves to be a very niche accessory for people hooked into Apple's HomeKit.

A recurring problem with smarthome accessories is that even though they're meant to simplify our lives, they're often dependent on other high-tech devices for control. Unless you've managed to automate everything, chances are you'll be whipping out your iPhone or talking to a smartspeaker at some point to in order to turn things on.

The Eve Button joins a trend towards bringing lightswitch-like simplicity to HomeKit. As its name suggests, there's only one control button, used to trigger multiple HomeKit scenes depending on whether you use a single-press, double-press, or hold it down.
