HomeKit, Apple's smart home platform always allowed you to control multiple compatible devices at once through Scenes, such as dimming the lights or locking doors At CES 2018, Elgato launched a new Bluetooth-enabled Button called Elgato Eve Button, which let you activate three of those scenes with a press.
The $50 gadget syncs to your HomeKit devices through your Apple TV or an iPad, it acting as a hub for your smart home. Shortly after you set up the button, you will be able to use it to activate a different scene with a single press, a double press or a long press.
Comparatively, although the Eve Button is not offering as many physical buttons as some other options, but it is a simple, standalone device that works with all of other HomeKit products and is priced at $49.95. Eve Button will be available starting later this month from the Elgato website and online Apple Stores.
