is an Apple standard for home control. HomeKit allows you to group
together several devices into Homes, Rooms, and Zones.
Establish Zones — a collection of rooms (e.g. “First Floor”)
Create Scenes — a collection of on-demand device triggers (e.g. a
“Bedtime” Scene can be set to turn
ON a Fan and turn OFF a Lamp)
Siri (iOS only)
Zones
Scenes
“Turn ON
my Living Room”
“Turn OFF my
Bedroom Lamp”
“Set Bedtime
Scene”
This command will turn ON
all SmartPlugs assigned to
a particular room, in this
case, the Living Room.
This command turns OFF
a particular SmartPlug.
For example, if you have
an accessory named
“Lamp” in your Bedroom.
This command will execute
your Bedroom Scene if set
up in the Scenes tab of
your iHome Control app.
