3.3 HomeKit Integration and Automation

Eve Thermo works with other HomeKit accessories to create intelligent automations. For example, pair it with an Eve Door & Window sensor:

• Open Window Detection: If an Eve Door & Window sensor detects an open window, Eve Thermo can automatically pause heating to save energy.
• Scene Activation: Include Eve Thermo in HomeKit scenes to adjust multiple devices with a single command (e.g., a "Good Morning" scene that sets your desired temperature).

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

When the battery level is low, a battery icon will appear on the Eve Thermo display and in the Eve app. Replace the AA batteries as described in section 2.2. It is recommended to replace both batteries simultaneously.

4.2 Cleaning

Clean the Eve Thermo unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the surface.

4.3 Firmware Updates

Eve Thermo receives firmware updates periodically to improve performance and add new features. These updates are delivered via the Eve app. Ensure your device is connected to power and within Bluetooth range of your iPhone or home hub during an update.

5. Troubleshooting

• Device Not Responding:
  Check the battery level. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the device is within Bluetooth range of your iPhone or HomeKit hub.
• Incorrect Temperature Reading:
  Ensure Eve Thermo is not obstructed by curtains or furniture, which can affect temperature sensing. Consider using an external Eve Room sensor for more accurate room temperature readings.
• Cannot Pair with HomeKit:
  Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your iPhone. Ensure you are scanning the correct HomeKit setup code. If issues persist, try resetting the Eve Thermo (see below).
• Radiator Not Heating/Cooling:
  Check if the valve is fully open or closed. Ensure the target temperature is set correctly. Verify that the radiator valve itself is functioning properly.

5.1 Resetting Eve Thermo

To perform a factory reset, remove the batteries, then press and hold the arrow down button while reinserting the batteries. Continue holding the button until the display shows a reset confirmation or flashes. This will remove the device from HomeKit and erase all settings.
