Home Management

Easily manage your Homes, Rooms, Zones and Service

Groups.

Home ManagementHomes allow you to have

more then one home. Only your primary home

responds to Siri commands.

Room Management

Rooms allow you to create rooms in your home and

group HomeKit accessories together that are located in

that room.

ZonesZones allow you to group together rooms in logical groups. These zones can then be addressed by Siri and commanded together.

Service GroupsService groups allow you to

classify services (Lights, Outlets, Locks, etc) into

smaller subsets so they can be commanded by Siri.

ScenesScenes allow you to

command multiple devices at once. Scenes can be

commanded by Siri using their name. The four scenes

featured to the right are included by default for every

user.

ScenesWhen setting up a scene, you can set the state of all

your HomeKit devices to the desired state when this

scene is activated.

RulesRules allow your home to

truly automate itself. There are two types of rules, Timer

and Event-based rules.

Timer RulesTimers allow you to set a schedule for a Scene to activate. These can be repeated Daily, Hourly,

Weekly or Monthly.

Event RulesEvent-based rules allow you to set up "If-Then"-type rules

based on the state of the devices in your home. In this

example, we setting a trigger for when our Smart

Lock is Unlocked.

Event RulesWe then set a scene to run

when this event is triggered. This is selected in the

“Then” section.

Event RulesAdditionally we can add

“When” constraints to only fire this rule at certain times

or other devices are in a certain state.

Event RulesIn this case, we have added a Solar Event as our "When" constraint. Here, the rule will

only fire After Sunset.

Event RulesNow, this rule will

automatically run the “I’m Home” Scene when we

unlock our Smart Lock after Sunset.

UsersWithin the settings menu, you

can invite other Users to share your home. This is as simple as adding a family member's

iCloud ID to invite them to your home. Once accepted, they can access and control

all your HomeKit accessories.

TipsSiri voice control is one of

the killer features of HomeKit. Within the Tips section we have included

some phrases you can use to control your Smart Outlets

and other devices.
