Elgato Eve Light Switch
Elgato Eve Light Switch is an accessory that replaces a regular light switch in your
home. Using Eve Light Switch and the Elgato Eve app, you can turn the light on or
off, even using Siri voice commands. With AppleTV, you can even do so from outside
your own home.
SafetyNote
Eve Light Switch is an easy replacement for a single light switch in an existing
installation. However, if you are in any doubt about the process, please consult a
qualified electrician.
Installing Eve Light Switch
1. Turn off power at the circuit breaker.
2. Remove the existing wall plate.
3. Remove the screws holding the switch in place (do not remove the wires)
4. Ensure that the switch you are replacing is a single-location switch. It should
have one earth connection (usually green, or bare copper wire), and two wires
of the same color (usually black) going to the switch. If there are three wires
plus earth to the switch, this is probably a two-location switch and you cannot
use Eve Light Switch here
5. Ensure that the switch location has a neutral wire (usually white). If present, it
will usually go to a screw-on wire connector inside the switch box. If the switch
you are replacing is electronic, the neutral wire may be connected to the
existing switch. If there is no neutral wire, you cannot use Eve Light Switch
here.
6. Take a photograph of the existing wiring, you may find it useful to refer to later.

7. Connect the three wires from Eve Light Switch as follows
a. Red to one of the (probably black) wires which were wired to the
existing switch’s terminals.
b. Black to one of the (probably black) wires which were wired to the
existing switch’s terminals
c. White – to the neutral wire (probably white)
8. Terminate the ground wire in a screw-on connector and push it back into
the switch box – it is not needed for Eve Light Switch, which is fully
insulated.

Set up Eve Light Switch in your Home
Run the Eve app on your compatible iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. If you have not yet
installed any HomeKit accessories, follow the directions in the app to add Eve Light

Switch
2. Tap the gear icon at the top
3. Tap “Add Accessory to Home”, then follow the directions in the app.
The application will ask for a setup code. The setup code for your device is printed on

If Eve Light Switch is not brand new, it may already be paired with a different phone
and Eve will not offer it as an accessory you can add to your home. You will need to
completely reset it. To do so, push the top and bottom parts of the button for 20
seconds.
Identify Function
The Identify function in Eve Light Switch causes the connected light bulb to flash on
and off four times in four seconds.
Factory Reset
You may wish to completely reset Eve Light Switch. This will remove all pairings from
the device, delete all its historic data, and reset its configuration to the factory
defaults. It will appear to HomeKit applications as a new device, and you will need its
setup code again to add it to a Home. Hold the top and bottom part of the switch in
for 20 seconds to perform a factory reset.
