Apple Home

Apple Home (previously branded as Apple HomeKit) is a smart home platform developed by Apple that lets users configure, communicate with and control smart appliances using Apple devices. Apple Home communicates with devices using the HomeKit software framework developed by Apple and the open Matter standard. By designing rooms, items and actions in Apple Home, users can enable automations in the home through a voice command to Siri or through Apple's Home app or third party apps. With Apple Home, developers are able to create complex applications in order to manage accessories at a high level.

Apple Home primarily competes with smart home platforms such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home. As of 2024, Apple lists over 1,000 devices compatible with Apple Home, compared to 10,000 for Google and 85,000 for Amazon.
