<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Broadcom has added full support for Apple's HomeKit to its connected home platform, WICED.</p> <p>Broadcom's Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices (WICED) platform, and it's accompanying SDK, now helps hardware manufacturers and software developers take advantage of Apple's HomeKit (http://www.imore.com/homekit) connected home platform.<!--break--> The WICED platform is built as a complete package for building connected devices, and meets the HomeKit standards of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity.</p> <p>From Broadcom (http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s912541):</p>

<p>Broadcom's WICED platform enables developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to take advantage of the growing HomeKit ecosystem with a complete solution. By helping companies create IoT products that are HomeKit compliant, Broadcom is reducing time-to-market and improving the consumer experience by delivering home automation devices that enable a seamless connection to their home network and can be controlled from a HomeKit-supported app on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.</p>

<p>Broadcom's WICED hardware module can be used to connect devices without HomeKit support to appliances built with the platform, like connecting a Bluetooth light to a smart switch compatible with HomeKit. You can then use the light with all of your other HomeKit-compatible hardware and applications.</p> <p>Developers and hardware manufacturers can get their hands on the Broadcom WICED hardware module and SDK right now.</p> <p>Source: Broadcom (http://www.broadcom.com/press/release.php?id=s912541)</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='(http://tipb.com.feedsportal.com/c/33998/f/616881/s/46482b63/sc/28/mf.gif)' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
