How To Add Christmas Lights To HomeKit

Adding your plug to HomeKit to turn on Christmas lights over Wi-Fi is very simple. Thanks to the HomeKit technology of the iPhone, you will only have to scan the QR code that comes with the plug to add it to the Home App.
Within the Home App, you can add the plug to the room where it is located, for example, the living room. Next, you will have to rename the plug to Tree or Christmas.
This name change is important so that Siri knows which accessory the Tree is, and also so that you can identify it more easily within the Home App.
