Apple Home is a smart home platform developed by Apple Inc. that lets users configure, communicate with and control smart appliances using Apple devices. Apple Home communicates with devices using HomeKit, the software framework and communication protocol developed by Apple, and the open Matter standard.[1] 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.[2] With Apple Home, developers are able to create complex applications in order to manage accessories at a high level.[1]
Apple Home primarily competes with smart home platforms from Amazon and Google. As of 2024, Apple lists over 1,000 devices compatible with Apple Home, compared to 10,000 for Google and 85,000 for Amazon.[3][4]
