You can use the Home app to securely add, control, and automate HomeKit and Matter-enabled accessories, such as lights, locks, and thermostats.
When you set up security cameras that support HomeKit Secure Video, you can capture video, and receive a notification when a camera recognizes someone or when a package is left at the door.
You can also open a compatible lock with a home key, group multiple speakers to play the same audio, and send and receive Intercom messages on supported devices.
You can create automations to run automatically at certain times, or when you activate a particular accessory (for example, when you unlock the front door).
You can also control your home remotely with the aid of a home hub—an Apple TV (4th generation or later) or HomePod speakers.
This lets you, and others you invite, securely control your home while you’re away
Note:
Matter-enabled accessories require a home hub, such as a HomePod speaker or Apple TV 4K.
Thread-based accessories require a Thread-enabled home hub such as Apple TV 4K, HomePod (2nd generation), HomePod mini, or a compatible third-party Thread border router.
Thread-enabled iPhone devices are able to locally pair and manage Thread accessories, which may require an update from the accessory manufacturer
