WeberHaus to feature Apple HomeKit in new smart homes

WeberHaus, which specializes in pre-fabricated connected homes, will feature Apple HomeKit — a framework that allows control of compatible home automation devices through iOS and Siri — in its smart homes this year. The company is based in Germany.

WeberHaus has been offering an intelligent home control system in its homes with WeberLogic 2.0 and MyHomeControl app from BootUp, but with HomeKit and the Apple Home app, home owners can now control everything in their home conveniently and securely using their iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, or with their voice using Siri, says Klaus-Dieter Schwendemann, marketing manager at WeberHaus. It’s the first European home manufacturer to add support for HomeKit, he adds. 

WeberHaus homes featuring Apple HomeKit control will be available later this year. A demo home featuring Apple HomeKit, the PlusEnergy house generation 5.5, can be viewed at the exhibition “World of Living” at WeberHaus in Rheinau-Linx.
