Compatibility answer

Will the Eve Energy smart plug (Matter, US) work with the Amazon Echo Dot (5th Gen)?

Yes, with conditions. Works, but it also needs Thread border router.

Both records are reviewed against the manufacturers' sources; sources last checked 2026-10-14. Informational only: confirm with the manufacturer before buying.

Why

  • ✓ Both use Matter smart home standard.

Conditions

  • Thread border router: Needs another device that provides Thread border router.

Good to know

  • Matter runs over Wi-Fi or Thread. Matter-over-Thread accessories also need a Thread border router somewhere in the home (see radio:thread-border-router); a Wi-Fi-only controller is not enough on its own.
  • Each ecosystem supports a subset of Matter device types, so check that your controller supports the accessory's type (e.g., lock, thermostat, sensor).
  • Some products reach Matter through a bridge (e.g., Philips Hue Bridge, Aqara Hub M3) rather than speaking Matter themselves.
  • Matter-over-Wi-Fi accessories typically need a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
  • It also relies on Thread border router, which this device doesn't provide. You may need another device in the home that does.
