It needs a eufy HomeBase, ties the door to the siren, cameras and chime, and is rated for 2 years on a CR123A. It is the more affordable and the better reviewed of the pair, and Home Assistant is supported. Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home, SmartThings and Matter are not. The Eve Door & Window is the Matter over Thread sensor for that same slider, with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant, as long as a Thread border router is already in the house, on a half-AA cell rated for 11 months. Neither is weather resistant. Pick the Eufy Entry Sensor to extend a HomeBase. Pick the Eve Door & Window when the door has to join Apple Home without a eufy base.

What the differences mean

Which system it joins

The Eufy Entry Sensor is not standalone. Open and close alerts, the siren and camera ties need a eufy HomeBase, and Wi-Fi is listed as HomeBase required. The Eve Door & Window needs no Eve hub. It needs a Thread border router, such as an Apple TV or HomePod, and then speaks Matter.

Platforms

The Eve Door & Window supports Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant and Matter. The Eufy Entry Sensor supports Home Assistant and none of those voice platforms or Matter. A slider that must show up in the Apple Home app is an Eve Door & Window job.

Battery

The Eufy Entry Sensor uses a CR123A rated for 2 years. The Eve Door & Window uses one half-AA cell rated for 11 months. Owners of the Eufy often describe multi-year stretches on that larger cell. The published figures are the ones to plan around.

Size on the frame

The Eufy Entry Sensor measures 73 x 27 x 22 mm and weighs 68 g. The Eve Door & Window measures 52 x 24 x 23 mm, with an 18 mm magnet, and its weight is not published. Owners still call the Eve chunky on inset sliders because of the risers, not because the body is the longer of the two.

What owners say

Owners of the Eufy Entry Sensor talk about a sensor that stays tied to the HomeBase: siren, camera recording and a door chime, with no monthly fee for that behavior, and a CR123A they rarely change. They also mention an app that can misbehave after an update and a magnet housing that feels light. Owners of the Eve Door & Window single out a different strength. It stays on the Thread network when cheaper sensors drop off, pairs to Apple Home and Home Assistant together, and updates itself. They complain about the cost against a basic Zigbee sensor, the need for a Thread border router, and a body that is awkward on an inset slider.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better for a eufy system, the Eufy Entry Sensor or the Eve Door & Window?

The Eufy Entry Sensor. It needs a eufy HomeBase and then drives the siren, cameras and chime with no monthly fee for that link, on a CR123A rated for 2 years. The Eve Door & Window will not join that HomeBase. It is the Matter over Thread choice instead.

Is the Eufy Entry Sensor a standalone door sensor next to the Eve Door & Window?

No. The Eufy Entry Sensor requires a eufy HomeBase. The Eve Door & Window does not need an Eve hub, but it does need a Thread border router before Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings, Home Assistant or Matter will see it.

Does the Eve Door & Window work with Apple Home when the Eufy Entry Sensor does not?

Yes. The Eve Door & Window supports Apple Home through Matter over Thread, and also Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Eufy Entry Sensor supports Home Assistant only, not Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, SmartThings or Matter.

How long do the batteries last on the Eufy Entry Sensor and the Eve Door & Window?

The Eufy Entry Sensor is rated for 2 years on a CR123A. The Eve Door & Window is rated for 11 months on one half-AA cell. Neither publishes a weather-resistance rating, so both are indoor sensors.

Who should buy the Eve Door & Window instead of the Eufy Entry Sensor?

A home that already has a Thread border router and wants the door in Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings or Matter, without buying a eufy HomeBase. Buy the Eufy Entry Sensor when the sliding door should arm the eufy alarm you already own.
