These are the new HomeKit compatibilities

Home Kit iOS 10

After WWDC 16, many software sections have been affected, one of them has been HomeKit, Apple's smart home automation plan, which despite being born in 2014, is progressing at the pace of ants. Device and service providers are not getting used to including HomeKit support, and their progress is stagnating as much as if not more than Apple Pay. Now we are going to tell you what are the new devices with which HomeKit has become compatible after WWDC 16, expanding its possibilities further if possible, to try to become a home automation standard in all homes.

So, this year's Keynote has been quite illustrative when it comes to HomeKit, but we return to the same, manufacturers are key. Just as application developers are the key for iOS functions to be implemented in the rest of the system, the creators of home automation devices have in their hand whether or not to use HomeKit. And the reality is that so far they have opted to use their own applications, and it is a real shame.

During Keynote we were able to find out what the devices are and their functions, these devices are listed in the following list provided by colleagues from Applesphere:

  • Garage doors
  • Thermostats
  • Locks
  • Embedded
  • Ventilators
  • Blinds
  • Lights
  • Plugs
  • air conditioners
  • Cameras
  • humidifiers
  • Purifiers

However, we have reason to think that HomeKit's progression will be equal to or worse than Apple Pay's. It is being quite slow, and users are beginning to lose interest in these types of devices, which we all know exist, but never arrive. What's more, fragmentation is increasing, manufacturers choose to create their own applications to manage their devices.

    As soon as HomeKit can be connected with the KNX protocol… Everything will be much easier, what is really interesting is that the communication protocols are open and standard. The most standardized protocols at the moment for home, tertiary and even industrial automation are KNX, Bacnet and modbus. We will surely see how HomeKit speaks some of these protocols soon (I hope). Greetings to all.
