Jamesisenberg who wrote the review for Ivee provided me with the video demonstrating how IVEE works with Iris now.
Below is also the setup instructions if you’re interested in doing so too.
1) Setup Ivee following instructions in quick start guide that came with Ivee.
- Plug in Ivee
- Set up Wi-Fi
- Create an Ivee Account and connect Ivee Device to Ivee Account
2) Go to Iris Add Devices Page and follow steps in screenshot below.
3) Ivee will be added as a contact on the Contacts screen.
Iris is now compatible with Ivee using the following Iris specific commands.

Where can you purchase this at? Be nice if it showed other things then the time like device status. How much is this device?
Currently you can purchase it at helloivee.com or at staples.com. It’s not available in lowes.com but should be soon I would assume. Price is 199.99
Can not unlock Schlage touchscreen deadbolt with voice command. I keep getting the reply, “For security reasons you will need to unlock your door manually” from Ivee
Wow, that is really slow…I could have walked all the way across the room to hit the light switch and gone back to bed before that thing turned the light on or off….
Reminds me of my alarm panel for IRIS which keeps beeping for 10 or more seconds after I disarm it until the panel itself recognizes the disarming (yet if I disarm a partial alarm it disarms instantly)
it is kinda slow, but not horribly slow.
I would hope that Lowe’s will carrying it for a bit less then the $199 asking price from their site. Hopefully being in bulk Lowes can pass on the savings to it’s customers.
hahahaha fat chance….. Lowe’s will step the price up on it like everything else. Most of it you can get cheaper directly from its vendors
anyone know if you need to have a paid account to use ivee? since the free plan only allows 1 contact.
i cant seem to connect my ivee. i registered the unit with my account, but when i click on link to ivee, my device does not show up, says nothing connected.
Any ideas?
i called ivee and they confirmed it was an iris issue that seems to be fixed now. Iris just did an update, so they had a link that went to the beta ivee link, but now it links correctly.
That’s great to hear!
Anyone having problems getting their IVEE paired to IRIS? It is not working for me and I can no longer add contacts on the IRIS side and support just told me I have 34 copies of the ivee contact user. They cannot seem to figure out how to fix this other than have me delete all my devices and then they delete my account. Seems like the link between IRIS/IVEE is not so stable at this point. This is really annoying — considering boxing ivee back up and send back rather than put up with this BS.
Really sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s a weird glitch.
Well after calling around they seem to have this squared almost squared away. At least ivee is working now which is my main goal. Thanks!
That’s great to hear.
