Eve is one of the few smart home brands to take advantage of Thread, a standard that increases smart home speed and wireless range. And now, Eve\u2019s affordable second-gen\u00a0Water Guard leak detector<\/a> offers the same Thread support as the company\u2019s\u00a0smart blinds and smart plugs.<\/p>\n

The Water Guard is a pretty simple device\u2014you just plug it into an outlet and run its 6.5-foot sensor cable anywhere leaks may occur, such as under a sink or washing machine. When a leak is detected, Water Guard will alert you on your smartphone or smart speaker. (There\u2019s also an add-on accessory to increase Water Guard\u2019s range to 490 feet, so you could run it through the walls or the corners of a basement.)<\/p>\n

Water Guard can also control other smart home devices. If your washing machine is plugged into a smart outlet, for example, Water Guard can deactivate that outlet when it detects a leak.<\/p>\n

Thread support simply improves Water Guard\u2019s capabilities. The Thread standard builds a mesh network off of all compatible devices, including a HomePod, so these devices don\u2019t need to talk through your router or a cloud server. The result is improved performance and faster smart home commands. Plus, because the Water Guard acts as a Thread router, it increases your smart home range (for compatible Thread devices).<\/p>\n

You can order the second-gen Water Guard<\/a> for $100 on the Eve website. The product will be available at other retailers, including Amazon, in the coming months. Bear in mind that the Eve Water Guard only supports App<\/a>le HomeKit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
