By helping companies create IoT products that are HomeKit compliant, Broadcom is reducing time-to-market and improving the consumer experience by delivering home automation devices that enable a seamless connection to their home network and can be controlled from a HomeKit-supported app on their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.<\/p>\n<p>HomeKit offers a set of common protocols making it easier for customers to control HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri or iOS applications. HomeKit is built on a secure foundation with end-to-end encryption which provides customers a secure connection between their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and HomeKit-enabled accessory.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>RELATED<\/strong>:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automatedhome.com\/apple\/the-home-kit-framework-details-on-apples-home-automation-protocol.html\" target=\"_blank\">The Home Kit Framework \u2013 Details on Apple\u2019s Home Automation Protocol<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Key Features:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Support for 802.11ab\/g\/n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Smart<\/li>\n<li>Bridging capability to connect endpoints that are not HomeKit-enabled<\/li>\n<li>Compact design to support multiple microcontrollers (MCUs) and systems-on-a-chip (SOCs)<\/li>\n<li>Low memory footprint<\/li>\n<li>Integrated development tools<\/li>\n<li>Reliable interoperability and integrated security<\/li>\n<li>Upgradeable over wireless connections<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Broadcom&#8217;s WICED SDK and hardware module with HomeKit support are available now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.broadcom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.broadcom.com<\/a>\u00a0 : \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/automatedhome.com\/apple\/the-home-kit-framework-details-on-apples-home-automation-protocol.html\" target=\"_blank\">Apple HomeKit Explained<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want More?<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ottomate\">Follow us<\/a>\u00a0on Twitter,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AutomatedHomeUK\" target=\"_blank\">Like us<\/a>\u00a0on Facebook, or subscribe to our\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds2.feedburner.com\/automatedhome\">RSS feed<\/a>.
