It claims to be faster, more reliable, and more energy-efficient than the current smart home protocols most sensors run on — Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, and Z-Wave. (Don’t buy Wi-Fi motion sensors.

The Eve Motion Sensor uses Thread, a low-power wireless protocol that allows devices to talk directly to each other. It’s fast and reliable compared to alternatives like Bluetooth Low Energy (LE ...

You can theoretically use an Eve Motion with just your iPhone, but that is much less reliable (as is the case with almost any Bluetooth HomeKit accessory). It works best when the sensor is static ...

The sensors use inertial measurement units to capture body motion, and Bluetooth Low Energy to send recorded data to the Notch app. For starters, Notch’s own app will offer the ability to set ...

It’s a fairly simple project, too: just hook an Arduino Uno up to a motion sensor and an electronic switch called a relay, then plug in your fan, and you’re good to go. If that sounds ...
