Defining “Works With” and “Compatible” with Apple HomeKit
AppleBefore diving into specific product categories, it’s important to understand what it means for a device to be labeled “works with” or “compatible” with HomeKit. In our context:
• Works With is defined as any device that is compatible with HomeKit and can be controlled via a HomeKit hub, the Apple HomeKit app, or via Siri, Apple’s voice assistant.
• Compatible means any smart device that can be controlled by the Apple HomeKit app or by voice commands using Siri from your Apple mobile device or smart speaker.
These definitions ensure that users know exactly what level of integration and control they can expect when adding a device to their HomeKit ecosystem.
