Just prior to rebranding as Eve Systems to focus on HomeKit devices in late June, Elgato launched its Eve Aqua water controller, a HomeKit-enabled device that attaches to an outdoor water faucet to control and monitor water usage.
While Eve Aqua can be used with any hose connection, it’s primarily intended for use with sprinklers, which can be set to run automatically on a schedule for optimal watering. I’ve been testing out an Eve Aqua at my home over the past few months, and I’ve found it to be a helpful automation tool to assist with irrigation needs.
Installation of Eve Aqua is simple, as it comes with two AA batteries needed for power and simply screws onto your existing exterior water faucet. The bottom of the Eve Aqua has a male connector that allows you to screw a hose with female connector directly on, or the Eve Aqua comes with an adapter that can be screwed on to support quick connections.
