With the Apple Home app, anything can be remote controlled. From the speakers in your living room to the sprinklers in your backyard, everything can be controlled from your phone.

Apple’s HomeKit smart home service can enable you to unlock your home door just by talking to Siri. When you walk into your house, everything is set: the temperature is right, the lights are one and the music is playing.
