Using new Google APIs and Matter, Android finally gets an Eve smart home app
Well-known smart home accessory maker Eve Systems is at last preparing a native Android app, after years of focusing on iPhone and iPad owners, according to an official announcement. The change is possible because of Matter — the universal smart home standard — and upcoming Google Home APIs, which Eve says will let it avoid proprietary connection methods or linking cloud-to-cloud. The trouble with the second option is that if one cloud system goes down or otherwise encounters trouble, accessories could ghost or simply fail to trigger. Until Matter was launched in October 2022, Eve was focused exclusively on supporting Apple HomeKit.
