Apple is negotiating with several construction companies to integrate your platform HomeKit directly in the houses, something that if we were talking about software we would say that it is "installed by default". The intention of the Cupertino people is that smart homes convince their buyers to stay in the Apple ecosystem for a long time, just as We can read on Bloomberg, where we can also see an interview with David Kaiserman, president of Lennar Corporation.
Kaiserman talked about the benefits of buying a smart home early on. The main reason the president of Lennar Corporation gives us is that we will no longer have to do the installation later to buy the house. At a home in Alameda, Siri responded to the words "Good morning" to turn on the lights, while the Home app took over playing music.
HomeKit, Apple's proposal for smart homes
Apple's vice president of product marketing Greg Joswiak says that “the best time to start is the beginning«, Which would avoid having to install everything later, not to mention having to buy several devices separately.
But, what price would all this have? There would be no discount, no. At the cost of the house, it would be necessary to add 30.000$ who would pay for products like Lutron's shading system or the Schiage Connect Touchscreen Deadbolt, to mention just two components that these smart homes would include. They are not expensive separately, but if we add everything that should be included.
In addition to Lannar Corporation, Apple is also in talks with Brookfield Residential Properties Inc and other developers, but none of them gave dates on when these homes will be available. We already know what the future is, butworth pay $ 30.000 to live in a house that does things automatically or better save them and do them ourselves?
