You can now turn your iPhone into a universal remote for your smart home with Apple HomeKit. 

Apple's HomeKit smart home service is simple enough for novices who just want to say, "Siri, I'm home," into their iPhone, before walking through their automatically unlocked door and entering a relaxing scene with just the right lighting, temperature and other best Apple HomeKit products operating as desired.

Apple HomeKit is a system that lets you control your smart home devices all in one place. It allows you to adjust your thermostat, lights, locks and more in multiple rooms, creating comfortable environments and just the right ambiance with a tap on your smartphone. You can even use it to control your devices remotely.

HomeKit isn't compatible with as many devices as Google Assistant or Amazon's Alexa, but the number is rising every day. With a solid base of supported locks, lights, plugs and more, HomeKit is an easy starting point for Apple fans who are just beginning to set up their smart homes.
