What is the range of the Apple HomeKit?
The range of Apple HomeKit primarily depends on the type of connection being used by the individual accessories within the HomeKit ecosystem. Most HomeKit accessories communicate via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. When utilizing Wi-Fi, the range can extend throughout the coverage area of the Wi-Fi network, which can be quite extensive depending on the router's capabilities and the layout of the home.
Bluetooth, on the other hand, usually has a shorter range, typically around thirty feet, but this distance can be affected by obstacles like walls and other interference. For optimal coverage, it is advisable to position the HomeKit hub, such as an Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad, in a central location within the home to ensure efficient communication with all accessories.
For more detailed information related to a specific accessory's range and setup, it is always a good idea to check the manufacturer's specifications on the official Apple HomeKit website.
