The WWDC made it possible to have
revelations not only during the conference of June 5
summarized here, but also throughout the different sessions which
took place with developers and specialists from Apple on the
several days of the show. Thus, information was revealed about
of iOS 11 and the functioning of HomeKit, which in addition to becoming more open,
as announced on stage, is also improved in the use of products
and their interaction with the platform:
On the one hand, new product categories will integrate with HomeKit with
iOS 11. These areoutdoor faucets and watering cans.
This will bring the total of accessory types supported by
HomeKit at 16. 9to5Mac notes that fridges and washing machines will still be missing
connected. Note also the HomeKit support for connected speakers,
thanks to AirPlay 2.
Who says connected speaker necessarily saysHomePod, which, when
of its release, will be able to put Apple TV and iPad in the closet ashub
HomeKit.
And then the new possibilities offered by iOS 11 in terms of reading
QR code and NFC opening will allow devices to be linked to
the HomeKit ecosystem much more easily.
This will simplify the lives of users of HomeKit connected products,
who will also be able to enjoymore order choices,
with new scenes and new operations available to manage their
installation.
Note for example the appearance of the conditional trigger, which will
allow an action to be launched only if the indicated condition is met. By
example, a connected light that turns on when someone enters the
house, provided it is dark.
Scenes with geolocation can be opened to several users
connected, which will be practical for a couple or a family. For example,
an air conditioning system could stop only when everyone has
left the house and turned on again the first person to return.
Finally, actions with a time shift can be implemented. By
example, it may be possible to program the opening of the shutters 30
minutes after sunrise, or to schedule the shutdown of connected lighting
based on motion detection 10 seconds after it is turned on.
In addition to these improvements,as
we've seen it before, Apple has affirmed the desire to simplify the
HomeKit certification procedure, removes the integration condition
of an in-house chip in the products concerned and based on an update
software update only. Also, manufacturers will also be able to
experiment with HomeKit even before obtaining MFi certification.
And then the icing on the cake, the apple company promises better
communication latency between devices for smoother operation
instant.
