Apple announce HomeKit automation

On 2nd June Apple made their keynote speech at their annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). Of particular interest to Cyberhomes this year was the announcement of their new ‘HomeKit’ technology that will allow different manufacturers to have a more consistent app experience across their home automation products. It’s too early to speculate just how manufacturers will embrace this new opportunity, but you can be sure we will be watching with interest. Any initiative that brings the concept of home automation to a wider audience has to be welcomed.
