AirPlay 2 as a complement to HomeKit in iOS 11

The news continues to happen and now it is the turn of Air Play 2, the Big Apple tool to enjoy content from our devices on Apple TV, for example. The novelty, which is framed within the presentation of iOS 11, is that HomeKit will integrate support for speakers, and with it the AirPlay ecosystem, in its second generation (or so Apple executives have called it). With this tool we can control the speakers compatible with HomeKit, as if independent speakers were involved.

AirPlay 2: control your speakers with HomeKit

As they told us, there are many speaker companies that are going to offer this service. Large companies such as Beats (it was clear) or Devialet have already announced that they will launch new speakers compatible with this new feature of iOS 11.

In a few hours, when Apple updates its website with all the information, we will be able to see the true aesthetics of AirPlay 2 integrated into HomeKit and the rest of AirPlay 2 news that Apple has not told us about, that surely will be enough.

They have also announced that there is a Audio API for AirPlay 2 With which developers can integrate the system into third-party applications and integrate it, likewise, into HomeKit to perform all the actions they have discussed throughout the presentation, which is as alive as ever.
