Nest is considering Apple HomeKit as iOS 11 makes supporting existing products easier

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/nest-products-target.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1600&h=800)</div><p>Nest (http://amzn.to/2rkZdMr) has long been a holdout on Apple’s Siri-controlled HomeKit platform, and many have speculated it will never add support due to its ties with Google and its competing offerings. But this week the company told us it’s at least considering adopting HomeKit following some big changes for hardware authentication requirements announced this month.</p>
<p>When we asked the company if it would look into newly announced iOS 11 features that allow old products to easily add support, a Nest spokesperson officially told us its “open to supporting” the platform and that it will indeed “consider HomeKit.”</p>
