AND what is Apple Home?

Apple Home (previously named Apple HomeKit) is a framework for home automation. It is about connecting smart home accessories to an Apple Account for automation, scenes, and centralized control. The central app for this is the Home app (e.g. on iPhone, bundled with iOS). You can ignore it if you have no smart home accessories, or use a competing different smart home framework (e.g. Google Home, or Amazon Alexa). Example accessories include: cameras, doorbells, lights & bulbs, locks, outlets, sprinklers, sensors, switches, thermostats.
