The Eve app allows you to control all HomeKit-enabled accessories with multiple customizations and automations. The Eve for HomeKit app has been updated to version 4.5 today, with significant enhancements, including a new full-screen overview with simultaneous live videos from all of your HomeKit cameras and more.
With the latest update, Eve users will find a new "My Cameras" menu that shows at a glance the live video of Eve Cam and other cameras compatible with HomeKit. From there, you can simply tap a specific view of the camera to see it in full screen.
The app also allows users to create Siri shortcuts to manage HomeKit cameras, so accessing live video from your cameras with the Eve app is as easy as saying "Show my cameras" to Siri.
To access the camera overview, a new "My Cameras" tile will automatically appear in "First Look" if you have multiple rooms in your home. From there, you can also enable convenient Siri integration - once added to Siri, getting the full image is just a quick "Show my cameras" voice command. Touch any live view of the camera to go to the full screen for that camera, or tap and hold to set a scene directly or control other HomeKit-compatible accessories in that camera.
Another great new option included with the latest version of Eve is Twisted Camera Orientation, which lets you install your Eve Cam upside down and then easily flip the video into the app. A free firmware update to enable the twisted option is now available for current Eve Cam models.
Eve Cam settings now offer a new option to browse the camera image. With Eve Cam's magnetic base attached to all sorts of items in your home, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities for mounting Eve Cam in the perfect location. To access this new setting, Eve Cam requires at least firmware version 1.0.3, which was also released as a free update and includes many other general improvements.
The latest version of the Eve app for HomeKit is now available in the App Store. The application is free and requires an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad running iOS 13.1 or iPadOS 13.1 and later. You can also buy Eve Cam from Evehome.com or Amazon.
