With the Home app, you can easily and securely control all your HomeKit accessories. Ask Siri to turn off the lights from your iPhone. And even control things remotely with the help of Apple TV.

The Home app makes all your connected devices work harder — and smarter — for you. No matter which compatible accessories you choose, the Home app makes it easy to set up and control all of them, all from one place. Over 50 brands worldwide are committed to providing accessories that are compatible with the HomeKit framework, and the number available is growing every day.

The Home app groups accessories by room, so you can easily control devices in any part of your house with a tap. Home allows you to set scenes, which enable multiple accessories to work in combination — all with a single command.

Greet the day with a custom scene that warms up your house, opens the blinds, and fires up the coffee maker. Prep your home for your arrival with a scene that opens the garage, unlocks your door, and turns on the lights. Siri knows the types of HomeKit-enabled accessories you have in your home as well as their status. Access your home remotely on your iOS device through Apple TV to do things like shut your garage door, view live camera video of the doorway, or even ask Siri to lower the thermostat — anything you normally do while using the Home app at home.

Apple TV also enables your home to carry out certain tasks automatically. For example, you can trigger an accessory or scene based on the time of day, your location, sensor detection, and more. Set your lights to turn on as soon as you pull up to the house. Have your home turn up the heat at 6: Use a motion sensor in the doorway to turn your kitchen lights on when you walk in.
