What is the range of the Apple HomeKit?

Asked 6 months ago
The range of Apple HomeKit is dependent on the connectivity between the HomeKit-enabled devices and the controlling Apple device. Since HomeKit primarily relies on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, the theoretical range can extend up to 100 meters for Wi-Fi and 10 meters for Bluetooth. However, the actual range may vary depending on obstacles such as walls, signal interference, and the specific capabilities of the connected devices. To maximize the range, it is recommended to position the Apple device and the HomeKit accessories in close proximity to the Wi-Fi router or utilize Wi-Fi range extenders. Additionally, Apple's HomePod or Apple TV can act as a hub, improving the range by relaying commands to accessories that are farther away.
