Where is HomeKit?

You need to install an app that requires Homekit.

HomeKit is not an end user App. Its a Developer Framework so third party apps can control HomeKit enabled devices.

When you get an app that can interface with these devices or accessories it will use HomeKit to communicate with them.

I thought that the Phillips Hue was supposed to be one of the apps that work in the HomeKit, any thoughts on this?

Yes its supposed to be, but again, its done through their own Hue App, which as far as I can tell has not been updated to make use of it. HomeKit is not an independent App, its a framework that Apps can take advantage of to connect to HomeKit enabled devices.

Each App developer chooses what Homekit features it wants to use with its device, and in their App.

Actually you cant see it as an app. Its developer framework. But you can see it in settings>privacy>location services if you turn ON location services you will see there is an option for homekit to see app which have requested to access home data.

go to settings>privacy> location services> (turn on location services) you will see homekit at the bottom.

thanks

There is an app for iphone called "home" for HomeKit that has rave reviews (15 bucks) but supposedly incorporates many or all homekit-compatible installed devices. The reviews of this app say it is exactly what users expected to have following homekit release. I understand that homekit is a developer platform and not an app, but, as earlier posts implied, each homekit device seems to have its own iOS app.

I'm trying to install a simple alarm/alert homekit system in November 2015 and still havent even found a Homekit-certified motion sensor. Even the homekit page from Apple mentions 'motion detector" but I still dont even find one I can buy. Telling siri to dim the lights is fine... but where are the products ? LBH
