So far we’ve followed the process of adding individual devices to the Home app, and assigning them to specific rooms within your home. But, of course, you also need to be able to control how all your devices work. Different types of devices will provide their own specific controls — such as brightness or color controls for your lights, or temperature and timer controls for a thermostat.
The Home app does provide these controls for all your HomeKit devices and it’s a great time–saver, as it means that you don’t have to use several separate apps from a range of different manufacturers in order to control all of your devices. You can change the brightness — and even the color — ofwithin the Home app. And, of course, for even greater convenience you can use Siri voice commands to control these devices without having to lift a finger.
