These products from August, Canary, Withings, Kuna, D-Link, Ring & others will be next to gain support for Apple’s HomeKit in the coming months.
It wasn’t too long ago that I was recommending the average person stay away from investing in HomeKit until Apple’s home automation platform matures to get full fledged support both on Apple’s devices and from the accessory makers themselves. That’s about to change quite a bit with iOS 10 (alongside tvOS 10, watchOS 3, and macOS 10.12 Sierra) when those releases bring some big new features and improvements to HomeKit that make it look finally ready for prime time.
As far as accessories go, support for new types of home products means you’re about to see a whole lot of new camera accessories like doorbell and security cameras, and air treatment accessories such as air conditioners, heaters, air purifiers, and humidifiers, adding support for HomeKit.
Some of the products on our list below were briefly shown during a slide at Apple’s event, and others have since confirmed support for HomeKit will arrive in separate announcements. We’ll be adding more as others surely announce leading up to the release of iOS 10 with iPhone 7 this fall.
