HomeKit
HomeKit basics
With HomeKit, you can control any “Works with Apple HomeKit” accessory that you have
in your home, such as lights, locks, thermostats, smart plugs, and more.
HomeKit allows you to create commands or scenes to control home settings. For
example, you can create a scene to turn off the lights, lock the doors, close the garage
door, and set the thermostat to the desired temperature, all with one command. HomeKit
also provides an easy, secure way to control HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri.
HomeKit is organized around three types of locations: homes, rooms, and zones. Each
home contains rooms, such as “bedroom,” and you can group rooms into zones, such as
“upstairs.”
Set up a home and users
Defining a home allows HomeKit-enabled apps and accessories from different
manufacturers to work together. It’s the first thing you should do when getting started
with HomeKit.
Define a home. Use the app that works with your HomeKit-enabled accessory to define
a home. The process varies, depending on the app and accessory, but generally you pair
the accessory with iPhone by entering the accessory’s HomeKit setup code in the
accessory’s app. If this is your first accessory, a home is created for you.
Add a second home. As described above, use a HomeKit-enabled app to define an
additional home.
Give others control. To let others control your accessories using their iOS devices, go to
Settings > Home, then tap Invite People. They need an iCloud account to join your home.
People you invite can control your accessories, but they can’t add new ones.
Control your accessories away from home. If you have an Apple TV (3rd generation
and later) with software version 7.0 or later, or a HomeKit accessory that supports
iCloud Remote Access, you can securely control your home when you’re away. Go to
Settings > Home, then turn on Allow Remote Access. Make sure you’re signed in with
the same iCloud account on both iPhone and Apple TV.
Define rooms, zones, and scenes. Use your HomeKit-enabled apps to assign
accessories to rooms, and rooms to zones. Many apps also allow you to define scenes.
Once these items are defined, you can control them with Siri, as described below.
