If your smart home is built on HomeKitWell, you will certainly agree with me when I say that its possibilities are quite limited in many ways. On the one hand, there are still a number of limits for various automations of your smart electronics, and on the other hand, there are still a lot of products that HomeKit does not support it at all. However, according to new information from reporter Mark Gurman from Bloombergsoon to change. The Californian giant is reportedly preparing a major expansion of support for smart products under the heading HomeKitu.

Unfortunately, Gurman has not yet named specific new device categories, so we will have to wait for details, but personally I would not be surprised if, for example, support for smart washing machines and the like was added, since the competition already supports these. For example, our Samsung washing machine offers support for Samsung SmartThings or Google Assistant, but for HomeKit God knows why not. And given that Gurman's sources are not talking about modifying their own software, but about collaborating with third-party manufacturers on new products that will be designed specifically for integration into HomeKitWell, supporting large white goods would make a lot of sense.

Moreover, it seems that we could expect to see the announcement of changes relatively soon. According to Gurman, Apple to introduce a new one on October 13th Apple TV, HomeUnder mini and a brand new home hub, which we wrote about a few hours ago. This trio is supposed to show how Apple is introducing the next generation of its smart home. I wouldn't be surprised if, along with these products, Apple also announced new features HomeKittogether with manufacturers who will offer support. It is hard to imagine a better opportunity. Hopefully, this will really happen and a smart home will really be worth it in the future.
