Keep or resell my devices

1

Hello!

During a sale at a store, I picked up many great deals on a few smart home products.
I managed to buy
5x Eve Energy Strips (I paid 25 euro for each)
5x Eve Door & Window Sensors (Matter) (I paid 15 euro each)
5x Eve Door & Window Sensors (Non matter but upgradeable) (I paid 11 euro each).

However, I am not sure if I should keep or sell them.

Pros with them are;
Insanely good quality. The energy strips look and feel amazing. And I got them cheap!
The energy strips got a physical lock, which could be child-proof.

Cons are:
Eve isn’t that great integrated with Home Assistant (but my Gf is IOS user). And the smart energy strips doesn’t measure consumption per socket but only for the whole strip.

What would you do in my case?

For me I don’t use iOS so configuration of Eve products are problematic.

That means if i were in the same place, I’d look through each and see if Eve intends to upgrade the firmware to support Matter and if not unload it

Also… I don’t buy products without a project in mind. Exactly to prevent this. That said I do ha e a drawer full of projects in the queue. :joy:

Thanks for your reply!

When I bought them I hadn’t taken the step to Home Assistant and was considering going full Homekit. Also, was planning on buying an apartment with one strip in each room. But that fell through.

It doesn’t seem like the energy strips will get Matter support though, but the sensors do already.

I suppose the function to measure each plug vs quality / child lock is the question atm.
