What Apple Home (HomeKit) support means for presence sensors

Apple Home is the iPhone, iPad and Mac smart home app, formerly HomeKit. Devices join natively, through a manufacturer bridge, or as Matter devices.

Values come from the specification record for each model. Where a manufacturer source has been checked for this field, the evidence column links to it; otherwise the value is an unverified catalog record. Confirm the exact model, region and firmware before buying.

Before you buy

Apple Home (HomeKit) setup checklist

  1. Remote control and automations need an Apple home hub: an Apple TV or HomePod that stays at home.
  2. A device marked as requiring a hub or bridge only appears in Apple Home after that manufacturer hub is installed.
  3. Features such as Home Key for locks or HomeKit Secure Video for cameras are separate capabilities. Check them on the device profile.
