motion detector for homekit?

I am searching for a homekit-certified motion detector. If you google this topic, you find LOTs of promises and shipping dates, but I still haven't found one.

Even Apples' own beautiful page on homekit specifically mentions motion detectors, but where are they ? The only homekit-compatible hubs I can find do not work with the company's own motion dectectors (e.g. Insteon). I am a solid apple supporter, but unless I have missed something ? why does Apple release homekit promotional material where there are no products that are advertised.

By the way, there isn't even a HOMEKIT community on here ? I had to post this in "home sharing" which has nothing to do with Homekit.

Thanks for any help.

iPhone 4, iOS 5, have PC with xp

HomeKit is just a framework for communicating/controlling connected accessories in a user’s home, so any specific functionality would be up to the particular developer. Since it is just a framework, the Developer community here would be the most reasonable place for discussions about developing with it, but there is also a specific forum for the HomeKit framework in the App Frameworks section at the Apple Developer Forums.
