In the keynote that I celebrated Apple in 2014 during WWDC launched HomeKit. At that time we were in iOS 8 and many users were not clear about the new concept of home automation that Apple was implementing with this tool.
Home automation at home was something quite expensive and not all of us were clear that this new functionality would reach all users, but it is true that if it were not for Apple, I personally would not have tried products related to home automation in those days. In my opinion, only the most "geeks" were interested in this technology when those from Cupertino got involved, but it was also something expensive for most, unknown, complicated and scarce in those years.
If you have never used Homekit, we recommend that you do so as much as possible. It really is much easier to use than many think, they are also becoming more and more affordable and we find more products that are joining the home automation bandwagon for everyone. In Actualidad iPhone We have some reviews on products compatible with HomeKit (we will have more soon) and news, they are also really easy to use thanks to Siri and they allow us to open or close lights, in some cases doors, cameras and even add compatible devices for use such as plugs, sensors, lamp holders, etc ...
Now Apple puts in some of its most current stores a section available to users with the possibility of using Homekit in a real simulation. In my opinion Apple takes a long time to add these demos in its stores but it is better late than never. In these stores we find compatible products such as the iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad. For now, the first stores to incorporate this section are those of United States, some from the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Mexico, Singapore and Taiwan.
