We continue commenting on the presentation of the week WWDC 2020 from Apple. We already have more than an hour of keynote, and few issues should be left in the pipeline.
Application Home has had a special section, explaining the very interesting news that we will see both in iOS and tvOS, since from now on we will have this application on our televisions, a great novelty to be able to see the cameras, for example.
Yah cason He has been in charge of explaining the news that Apple is going to offer us from now on with the home application.
He begins by explaining that there has been an increase in security and privacy for people, an issue that has always concerned the company.
Homekit opens up to new device vendors and manufacturers compatible with this system. We are already seeing it lately with the appearance of new third-party security cameras compatible with Homekit, and it seems that this will be a general trend.
For iOS and iPadOS the application has been redesigned with new functions, and the possibility of create widgets on our iPhones and iPads.
An example of these new functions is the new adaptive lights control. From now on, for example, they can change color temperature depending on the time.
The security cameras will have a delimitation of the areas of action, and facial recognition. You will know what is knocking on the door, and their name if you have that person in contacts.
One of the most significant novelties in the incorporation of the Home app to tvOS. From now on, we can control our Homekit devices, or watch the security cameras with Picture in Picture function from the television in the living room, where we have our Apple TV.
Apple undoubtedly wants the full potential of Homekit, collaborating with new device suppliers and expanding their control from the iPhone, iPad and now Apple TV.
