iOS terminal automation as driver: locking doors, cameras, lighting,
sockets, switches …, combined with third-party accessories.
If last year developers and manufacturers such as Philips and Belkin are working on objects and applications compatible with this platform, it seems that Apple wants to accelerate the movement by offering an application that centralizes the control of these devices. According to the always well informed 9to5mac, the application would simply be called Home, and would be included in iOS 9. It would be unveiled at the next Apple WWDC in June.

The application could also work in concert with Siri to control with the voice of its automation devices deployed in the home.
The output of this application could then represent the starting signal of Apple in this sector, already some industrial and being ready to launch their products compatible.
Unless some development concerns push Apple to reconsider its copy. According to Fortune
relies on anonymous testimonies of participants HomeKit program, the
commissioning could take place in the coming year. Apple has encountered difficulties in the development of the code, more
specifically the part managing the connection and networking
devices that mobilizes too much memory.
