Eve launches updated Water Guard HomeKit leak sensor

 

Smart home accessory vendor Eve Systems has announced the release of the second-generation Eve Water Guard.

The updated Water Guard gains Thread networking capabilities, making it the first HomeKit water leak detector on the market to support the latest connectivity standard.

In addition to Thread, the Eve Water Guard is also the only HomeKit-enabled water leak sensor that plugs into an electrical outlet. Instead of sitting directly on the surface of potential hotspots like battery-operated leak sensors, the Eve Water Guard utilizes a 6.5-foot water sensing cable allowing the unit to sit out of harm's reach.
