Looking for a complete list of upcoming and available HomeKit accessories? Apple now tracks all of the certified HomeKit accessories on the market, which are stamped with the symbol "Works with Apple HomeKit". While Apple sells some HomeKit equipment itself, many items in the list are only available through other companies or retailers.
The updated collection can be found at http://www.apple.com/ios/home/accessories/ and details several categories including Lights, Switches, Outlets, Thermostats, Windows and Shades, Fans, Air Conditioners and Heaters, and Sensors.
Additional devices such as Security, Locks, Cameras, Doorbells, and Garage Door Openers round out the packages. HomeKit hardware designed to optimize a system are also listed, such as Bridges and Range Extenders.
Each product listing is linked to a website or explains the status of an upcoming product in the works. Apple also has an introduction to HomeKit which details the main features of the company's home automation technology. Users of the Apple Home app or any number of third-party apps can easily control various HomeKit hardware, and even use Siri to initiate actions and change parameters like temperature at the location.
As Apple puts it, "The list keeps getting smarter". With one place to check out a comprehensive list of the latest HomeKit accessories, Apple has made things easier for anyone looking to buy HomeKit devices.
