Apple Home Smart Homes

Apple Home is the most user-friendly and complete smart home system in the market. At Homesmart.sg, we’re experts at integrating smart home systems with Apple Home.

Apple Home and Apple HomeKit

Apple HomeKit is Apple’s smart home platform, while Apple Home is the name of the app you’ll use to control your devices.

Apple Home App Smart home

The benefit of integrating your smart home into Apple Home is for native support on all your Apple devices. The Home app is preinstalled on every iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, and Apple Watches. Quickly and easily control your smart devices using the Home app, or in your iPhone’s Control Centre. Use Siri on your Apple Watch or HomePod to turn on the lights. Put the Home app on your Mac’s Dock for quick access while you work or play.

As Apple’s HomeKit manufacturing partner, Aqara smart accessories are all Apple HomeKit compatible, and can all be added into your Apple Home for native control.

How to set up an Apple Home

Our Aqara Smart Home products all work with Apple HomeKit, and Homesmart.sg specializes in Apple Home integrations.

With our smart home systems using Aqara products, setting up an Apple Home is as simple as installing and setting up the products into your Apple Home app.

To unlock full functionality of your Apple Home with features such as remote offsite control and remote monitoring, you’ll need an Apple Home Hub, such as an Apple HomePod Mini or Apple TV. You can use our Apple Home Package to get started easily.

Organize Your Home

Organize smart devices into rooms and zones (group of rooms, e.g. “downstairs”). You can now scroll through Rooms in Apple Home, and give room-based controls (Hey Siri, turn off all the lights in the kitchen). You can also control multiple Homes in one app.

Configure Scenes

Set a group of devices to be turned on or off to suit a particular mood or function. All devices will be controlled simultaneously upon triggering the scene.

Siri Voice Control on Apple HomePod

Siri on HomePod is context-aware. Saying Hey Siri, turn on the lights to a HomePod will only turn on the lights where the HomePod is assigned – instead of the whole house.
