Book synopsis

Learn HomeKit on the Mac and iOS is the complete guide to Apple's home automation technology (Home Kit). You'll learn the Home Kit platform structure and how it supports devices (existing and planned), and you'll get a thorough grounding on new and useful apps that deliver a new generation of home automation in a secure and innovative environment. For programmers, there's an entire chapter (plus sections in other chapters) dedicated to the core coding issues you'll need to learn. For non-programmers, this book is your perfect resource for easily getting your arms around the amazing potential of Apple HomeKit.§§The book shows you how to move to secure, integrated home automation projects that integrate with your digital world ... automatically (after you set them up as described in the book). Having your calendar and appointments control your lights, locks, thermostat, and other home devices is the heart of home automation. In homes and small offices, you can banish notes taped to switches and controls that say, "Do not turn off this switch" or "Leave the thermostat alone." The book gets you up to speed on HomeKit, and it also answers some of the pesky questions ("What happens when the power goes out?" for example).§§Along the way you'll get tips and suggestions for app developers, hardware manufacturers, interior designers, and real estate professionals that show them how to use and talk about this exciting new technology:§§Designers and decorators can now focus on a space's ideal design potential, and not the limitations of its infrastructure. Imagine the prospect of not having to stick light switches in the middle of beautifully designed walls where they nestle up against artwork. §For device developers, understanding the structure of HomeKit (homes, rooms, and accessories) enables you to build devices that are easily managed by a single, simple source and interface. With a knowledge of the framework, you can start from HomeKit and let your imagination run wild as you design compatible devices with unlimited capabilities. Go build your killer app, your game-changing product or service!§Real estate professionals finally have an answer to "I love the house, but my sofa couldn't go on that wall because then it blocks the light switch." §DIY home networking users will gain a thorough knowledge of how they can adapt HomeKit to their existing spaces.§For programmers, there's an entire chapter (plus sections in other chapters) dedicated to the core coding issues you'll need to learn. §For non-programmers, this book is your perfect resource for easily getting your arms around the amazing potential of Apple HomeKit. §The HomeKit framework has the simple interface and the secure functionality that will change existing markets. This book is the guide to the new world of HomeKit-compatible devices that will build new ones.§§Author Jesse Feiler develops, consults, and writes about Apple technologies with an emphasis on mobile and location-based apps.§
