Smart home using Apples HomeKit and Siri.
Posted: 26 Feb 2018, 21:20
I’ve been playing around with HomeKit and Siri on my Apple devices. Although not perfect (yet) it’s pretty good
I’ve managed to get some lights to come on and change colour, also turn the TV on and the electric fire.
The best bit is setting up scenes and automation. For example I have a routine set for turning my front door porch light and garage light on when I approach the top of our street but only after sunset and done automatically withought doing anything. This can all be done away from home too using 4G. Useful if your away on holiday and you want to confuse the neighbours
Here is a small video I made with a few examples of what can be done. This is really addictive and the possibilities are literally endless.
