Apple reportedly preparing a new Home app for centralized HomeKit control

<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">Apple will reportedly bundle a new Home app in with iOS 9 to make it easier to use HomeKit appliances and devices.</p> <p>Apple is said to be working on a new app called Home, which could make its way to iOS 9, which would help users take advantage of their new HomeKit devices.<!--break--> The app could take the stage next month at WWDC, though it currently features only basic functionality, according to 9to5Mac:</p>
<p>The Home application is currently represented by a "house" glyph atop a dark yellow background, and is said to be "fairly basic" in its functionality, including:</p> <ul><li>Wirelessly discovering and setting up compatible HomeKit devices</li> <li>Creating a virtual representation of rooms in the home to easily organize and connect HomeKit devices</li> <li>Utilizing the Apple TV as a hub connecting all of the HomeKit devices</li> <li>Offering a series of screens to help users find new HomeKit devices and apps</li> </ul>
<p>With the first HomeKit devices hitting store shelves next month, it's likely we'll also see a flood of accompanying applications to control them. While HomeKit allows people to use Siri to control their various rooms, having a single, unified application that allows us to connect to, control and visualize our smart appliances would be a nice addition for many users, even with just basic functions.</p> <p>Source: 9to5Mac</p> </div></div></div><img width='1' height='1' src='' border='0'/><br clear='all'/>
