Eve has launched a variety of smart home gadgets over the years, including a smart plug, energy strip, and indoor camera. The company is now planning to launch its first smart light switch with dimmer functionality in March — and with support for Matter, voice commands, and remote access, it’s looking like a solid choice for discerning shoppers.
The Eve Dimmer Switch will be one of the most expensive options on the market, carrying a price tag of $50. However, you’re getting a lot of great features for your investment. This includes Matter-over-Thread support, a premium button/rocker dimmer design for enhanced control, and the ability to sync it with Siri, Google Assistant, or Alexa to unlock voice commands. You’re also getting the ability to dim your lights, a feature missing from many other smart switches.
As far as switch designs go, the Eve Dimmer Switch is quite minimalist. The combined button and rocker functionality allows you to make incremental adjustments to brightness, giving you enhanced control over the aesthetics of your home. You can also access your lights remotely, so you’ll never have to worry if you turned them off before leaving the house.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of the Eve Dimmer Switch’s standout features:
There’s a lot of cool features packed into the Eve Dimmer Switch, but it’s not a flawless device. For one, it’ll need to be installed by a professional electrician. It also requires a hub such as the HomePod mini or Echo Show 8, making it even more expensive than its $50 price tag would suggest. Thankfully, the list of supported hubs is quite long, so there’s a good chance you already have one in your home. And, as is always the case with dimming switches, you’ll need to use light bulbs that can be dimmed — adding the Eve Dimmer Switch doesn’t automatically make all your bulbs dimmable.
The Eve Dimmer Switch will be available in mid-March for $50. For more options, check out our guide to the best smart light switches. Alternatively, the standard Eve Light Switch is already available for $50, offering many of the same features as the Eve Dimmer Switch (minus the ability to dim your lights).
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
