Apple health home controls all HomeKit devices in one app

That's it Apple health home has finally been officially revealed. The announcement that we have been waiting for far too long gives us more information on the standalone application which aims to make it easier to control the accessories that work with HomeKit.

Apple health home was unveiled at the Cupertino firm’s WWDC keynote as part of its iOS 10 announcement. health home will arrive with the next iOs (iOs 10) update this fall. The app will be available for iPhones, iPads and is expected to arrive in a version optimized for the Apple Watch.

With the integration of health home in the Control Center, lockscreen and 3D Touch, users will be able to switch on and control the devices making up their smarthome; whether individually or in a group. This will dispense with other applications that take up space on your health home screen. Obviously, this only applies to HomeKit compatible devices. To date, we are talking for example about the August health home Access kit or the Tado smart thermostat; the list of devices is growing day by day. Ultimately, you should be able to open the garage doors, control the thermostats, turn on the air conditioner, etc.

With Apple health home, the apple brand introduces a scenario mode allowing to assign peripherals to make them work together at different times of the day. Using Siri, you can create and then select a scenario for the night and thus turn off the lights, turn down the heating and lock the doors. health home will also allow you to access HomeKit devices from the iPhone’s lockscreen, including the ability to use a smart camera positioned at the doorbell to see who wants to go health home.

It will also allow you to use Apple TV as a hub whose mission is to secure your smarthome, manage the commands sent to your HomeKit devices and allow remote access. Two years after its launch, we are therefore waiting to see how it will all really work. For the moment, nothing revolutionary on the horizon …
