Apple says the first HomeKit devices will be arriving in June (http://www.macworld.com/article/2922507/report-homekit-delayed-until-august-or-september.html), which means you’ll need a centralized remote control for managing all of those home gadgets. That will reportedly come in the form of an app built into iOS 9 called, appropriately, Home.</p><p>
The app will let you control all of your HomeKit gadgets, from compatible smart thermostats and security cameras to lightbulbs and door locks. According to a Wednesday report from 9to5Mac (http://9to5mac.com/2015/05/20/apples-planned-ios-9-home-app-uses-virtual-rooms-to-manage-homekit-accessories/), Home will let you connect and control your HomeKit devices from your iPhone or iPad in a visually appealing way. The app will cluster your HomeKit devices by virtual rooms, so you can easily see which accessory you want to turn on, turn off, or adjust without actually looking at it.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2924743/ios-9-may-include-a-homekit-hub-called-home.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
