Abstract

So far in this book, you’ve looked at HomeKit from the outside, observing the things you see and control with HomeKit. Now it’s time to look at HomeKit from the inside out by starting with the code. The code is what interacts with the home itself and its components, including third-party devices. Everything talks to code, and in many ways, the code itself if the best description of the HomeKit components. This chapter gives you an overview of the HomeKit framework with its objects and functionality.
