Abstract
In the previous chapters you've seen the basis of HomeKit and its architecture. Now it's time to put it to work, and that involves accessories—your lights, door openers and lock mechanisms, sensors, and the whole range of HomeKit-enabled devices that you find in ever-increasing numbers in local stores and on the Internet. (It's like the old saw: if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?) Without accessories to be controlled, HomeKit does nothing. This chapter shows you how to put HomeKit to work.
