<p>Early adopters of <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/homekit/?cid=wwa-us-kwg-features" target="_blank">Apple’s HomeKit home automation framework [/url]tend to notice one thing early on: there’s no real UI beyond Siri. HomeKit helps bridge functionality between various smart home accessories which tend to each have their own connected apps using Siri, but Apple hasn’t released a Home app in the same way it made <a href="http://www.apple.com/ios/health/" target="_blank">Health for HealthKit[/url].</p>
<p>Instead, users rely on a folder full of third-party apps from accessory makers, some of which are better than others, or a highly functional but somewhat pricey third-party app called Home (https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/home-smart-home-automation/id995994352?mt=8&amp;at=10laZc&amp;ct=925) to give HomeKit the UI it needs. Today there’s a new app on the market called <strong>Hesperus (https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/app/hesperus/id969348892?ign-mpt=uo%253D4&amp;at=10laZc&amp;ct=925&amp;mt=8)</strong>, which is free to use and has a friendly, customizable interface.</p>
