Apple HomeKit : Device Compatibility List – Pixster Studio

Apple has stepped into home automation with the help of Apple Homekit. With the help of Apple Homekit your imagination can come true, your home will become smart home. You can turn of your lights with your mobile phone. Not only this, you can control many of your home devices.

In June of 2014 at their World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) Apple announced iOS 8 and highlighted some of the upcoming features. Among those features were two new “Kit” platforms, HealthKit and HomeKit, designed to integrate iOS with two rising digital-age trends: quantified self healthcare and smart homes. What HealthKit is to your body and fitness gear, HomeKit is to your home and electronics.

HomeKit is not a single control application but is instead a hardware certification platform and database system that allows developers to create hardware and to integrate that hardware with iOS to provide for easy discovery, configuration, management, and communication between a wide variety of smarthome products like locks, lights, security equipment, and other home automation products.

Armed with HomeKit products and your iOS device you can set up your home such that the lights turn on at a set time every morning to wake you, the thermostat cranks the AC up when you’re driving home on a hot day, and at the end of that day you can snuggle into bed and talk out loud to your iOS device to tell HomeKit to shut the house down for the evening. Let’s take a look at the most common questions we’ve been asked regarding HomeKit and, in the process, highlight all the things you need to use it and what you can do with it.
