The Home app provides a secure way to control and automate HomeKit-enabled accessories, such as lights, locks, smart TVs, thermostats, window shades, smart plugs, and security cameras. You can also view and capture video from supported security cameras, receive a notification when a supported doorbell camera recognizes someone at your door, group multiple speakers to play the same audio, and send and receive Intercom messages on supported devices.
With Home, you can control any Works with Apple HomeKit accessory using iPod touch.
After you set up your home and its rooms, you can control accessories individually, or use scenes to control multiple accessories with one command.
To control your home automatically and remotely, you must have Apple TV (4th generation or later), HomePod, or iPad (with iOS 10.3, iPadOS 13, or later) that you leave at home. You can schedule scenes to run automatically at certain times, or when you activate a particular accessory (for example, when you unlock the front door). This also lets you, and others you invite, securely control your home while you’re away.
