Thread 'List of Apple HomeKit Compatible devices' - Content history

Formatted Raw

  • I'm a new home owner and have never looked into home automation products before. My initial preference is towards Apple products since i'm an Apple user since 1998 so i looked into HomeKit and HomeKit compatible devices. BUT information on compatible devices is scattered and difficult to find and even more difficult to know for sure if it is in-fact a HomeKit approved device. Example: Kwikset Kevo Smart Door Lock. I thought it was HomeKit approved with all the third party information on it, but it is not. Which brings up another point. There's much more third party information than first party and of course it's not as reliable and accurate. I prefer to stick with Home Kit approved devices (unless its for something basic like a water leak detector) due to higher encryption standards. Even the Apple website is lacking of information and devices supported. So i figured i'd make a list of first party device listings (no third party or Amazon Associate links for accuracy) here that can be updated by myself or mods. Please help contribute too!


    Lighting and Switches

    Outlets

    Locks

    Doorbell

    Security/Camera - Caveat here is if it works with HomeKit or if it actually works with HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV or HSV)

    Thermostats

    Fans

    Window and Door Sensors (Contact Sensors) - You can get very creative with these. Refrigerator door open? Junk food cabinet breached?
    • Eve
    • Aqara - Requires Aqara hub. Seems quicker acting than others due to ZigBee interface
    • Fibrao
    • VOCOlinc - Very short battery life, rated at 6 months

    Shades

    Air Conditioning

    Smoke/CO/Air Quality/Weather/Leak Detector and Monitor or Sensor

    Apps
