What is the Apple HomeKit?

HomeKit is the home automation app for your Apple devices. It's on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and, of course, with Siri on the HomePod and HomePod mini. You can use smart accessories such as light bulbs, air-purifiers, locks, thermostats, etc. With HomeKit, you can manage your entire smart home in one place.

The most significant advantage of HomeKit is that all the accessories included in your smart home are available on the same app, even if they are from different brands. And, if you have a second home, you can also keep an eye on it when you are not there. Pay close attention, and we'll explain it to you.

Where can you get the Apple HomeKit Setup?

Now that you know how HomeKit works, here's where to find it.

All accessories compatible with Apple HomeKit can be controlled via the Home app, available on the App Store!

The Home app includes all your home automation accessories. Your everyday life just got a whole lot easier. You can do things like turn on the lights in your bedroom with your Apple Watch or control the temperature in your home from your iPad. Remember that accessories must be HomeKit compatible!

Another fantastic advantage of HomeKit and the Home app is that your greatest ally will be Siri. With the famous "Hey Siri" command, you can ask Siri to turn on the heating on one of your house's floors or control the lights in your living room.

It also works the same way for second homes. From your usual home, you can say: "Hey Siri, turn on the heating in my mountain house" to enjoy the perfect temperature when you get there. You just need to have internet access in both homes for this to work.
