<p>HomeKit, Apple’s smart home accessory framework, is gaining some much needed attention in iOS 10 (http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/13/ios-10-announcement/) and watchOS 3 (http://9to5mac.com/2016/06/13/apple-announces-watchos-3/) thanks to a new built-in Home app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Apple previously relied on third-party apps from accessory makers to control the HomeKit experience, using Siri as the only first-party controller, and various apps like the third-party Home app (http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/25/home-homekit-app-3d-touch-design-enhancements/) and Hesperus (http://9to5mac.com/2016/04/22/hesperus-homekit-iphone-app/) filled in the void.</p>
<p>Apple’s new Home app comes with a modern look, relatively easy-to-use controls, and access to accessories and scenes from anywhere on iOS 10. Check out our hands-on below to see Apple’s Home app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch in action.</p>
