Amazon is now offering the best price yet on the Eve Energy (Matter) Smart Plug. If you drop the usual price of $100 to $29.96 shipped, that's 25% off. It's only the second time we've gotten such a deep discount, with today's price cut also significantly better than our previous mention by $4. It was the last time at this best-ever price on Black Friday, making it the first and only other chance was to lock in the $30 retail price. We took a hands-on look at what to expect from the experience in our HomeKit Weekly series, and also go into more detail below.

Updated with not only Thread support, but also Matter in addition to all the original Bluetooth HomeKit support, Eve's smart plug includes a few extra tricks to upgrade your Siri setup. In addition to the new Thread radio, there are also energy monitoring capabilities to keep an eye on power vampires or simply monitor the electricity consumption of various devices. If you're looking for standalone lighting, we also keep a collection of Philips Hue deals. Now that you're part of a refurbished sale on Woot, you can save on lighting, standalone bulbs, sync boxes and loads of other stuff starting at $16. That's of course alongside everything else this weekend in our smart home guide.

Eve Energy Matter Smart Plug Features: Have you made it easy for yourself yet? Hands tied? Turn your devices on and off with a simple tap or by asking Siri. You can also control Eve Energy directly via the built-in switch, which you can protect from curious fingers by activating the child lock.
