Apple announced several upcoming enhancements to its HomeKit connected-home platform at its worldwide developer conference today. With the release of iOS 9 this fall, HomeKit will add support for motorized window shades and a raft of new sensor classes, including motion and carbon-monoxide detectors.</p><p>
The software already supports a limited number of
thermostats, along with lighting controls from
Lutron and
Insteon. Without releasing any specifics, Apple also announced that iOS 9 will render HomeKit compatible with various home-security systems; presumably, that means comprehensive services such as ADT and Vivint, but that’s just speculation on my part.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2932737/apple-announces-modest-changes-to-its-homekit-platform-at-wwdc-2015.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
