Can I control my Apple HomeKit devices from outside my home?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can control your Apple HomeKit devices from outside your home. With the Home app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, and a compatible HomeKit hub, such as the Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad, you can remotely access and manage your connected devices. This allows you to control lights, thermostats, locks, and more, even when you're away. By setting up an Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad as a home hub, you can securely communicate with your HomeKit devices through iCloud, ensuring a seamless and secure connection. With this remote access, you can monitor and adjust your smart home devices, create automation rules, and receive notifications for events like motion detection or door openings. Enjoy the convenience of controlling your HomeKit devices from anywhere, providing peace of mind and added flexibility to your smart home experience.
