This compact cuboid has been sitting in my garden for a couple of weeks, which means I can give you a comprehensive review of the smart weather station – and when you’ve finished reading it, you should know whether or not this is a device for you.

Eve Weather review: unboxing and setup
The Eve Weather Station is a smaller device than I was thinking it would be: measuring just 5.4 cm x 5.4 cm x 1.6 cm, and weighing in at 48 grams, it’s small enough to fit in your palm. The diminutive dimensions mean it can find a place just about anywhere in your home or garden, though that small size means it’s not all that tough – a decent bit of wind or rain may cause problems if the device isn’t fixed to something.
It does offer IPX4 water resistance and survived some showers during my testing, but it’s not the most robust of gadgets. The e-ink screen and anodised aluminium exterior look good, and its aesthetic appeal is clear as soon as you get it out of the box – though the display can’t really be read unless you’re up close. It’s not the kind of screen you can see from the other side of the room.
To get the most out of the Eve Weather, you need to connect it through the Home app on an , , or Mac. As the device now supports Matter, you can set it up through Home, or SmartThings on an device too, but you don’t get weather trend information, and you can’t review past conditions – and there’s no Eve app for Android.
