Apple Home is Apple's smart home platform and brings the control of compatible devices together under a single app. Launched in 2014 with HomeKit, Apple Home has evolved over the years into an open platform that today also supports the cross-vendor Matter standard and Thread. Through the Home app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Vision Pro, users can control lights, plugs, thermostats, locks, blinds, cameras, sensors and entire scenes – via tap, automation or voice command through Siri. HomePod, HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K serve as central hubs, while HomeKit Secure Video stores camera footage end-to-end encrypted in iCloud.
On apfelpatient.de, this tag offers ongoing coverage of Apple's smart home world: new features in the Home app and HomeKit, Matter and Thread updates, reviews and hands-on reports on compatible accessories, background on Apple's smart home strategy, personnel decisions within the responsible team, and all rumors and reports on upcoming smart home hardware from Cupertino – from new speakers through smart displays to cameras and sensors.
