Some of the best HomeKit gear for making life easier
HomeKit may still be trailing behind Amazon Alexa and
the Google Assistant in the home-automation market, but there are still enough HomeKitcompatible devices available to create a pretty impressive smart home setup.
The three top product categories in the smart home market are speakers, lights and security cameras. Apple does have a list of HomeKit-compatible devices on its website (apple.co/3WeNNrX). The list includes lots of other devices such as thermostats, controls for fans andair conditioning systems, smart locks for your front door, and even remote controls for garage doors. However, many of these more complex devices require professional installation – the last thing you want to do in the winter is screw up your heating by trying to wire up a HomeKit thermostat by yourself!
