Apple would also have the intention to offer a product that will enable homes to automate and remotely control various devices such as lamps, etc.. This software solution, which will be open to manufacturers, could be presented at the Worldwide Developer Conference to be held June 2
The goal is obviously to allow houses to control their equipment using iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad.
While all this remains unofficial, it is quite logical to the extent its competitors Samsung and Google have already taken the step to this process. There a few weeks ago, Samsung launched its new Smart Home Service , which centralizes all the devices connected to the house on the cloud, which is accessed via a TV, a Samsung smartphone or tablet.
For its part, Google has recently acquired the company Nest , which sells products such as smart thermostats. And according to other rumors, the Mountain View company is also interested in Dropcam, a company that sells smart cameras.
