Apple has used the opportunity of WWDC 2019 to announce that router models of different products will be integrated with HomeKit, its home automation system. HomeKit-compatible router offers many benefits, such as the possibility of disconnecting accessories from explosives. In this way prevents access to the entire network environment, which provides an opportunity to monitor activity and prevent unsafe communications.
One of the developers that will offer to support HomeKit is Eero. So far, no other ad type (such as Linksys and Charter Spectrum) offers compatibility, but the development of Eero and Eero Pro routers in version 3.18 shows that they are falling.

Revision notes 3.18 do not report significant changes except for improvements in the accuracy of customer data, and improvements in system stability. Anyway, Twitter user Adam Miarka he has seen that an option to add them to the home system appears.

Apparently, routers appear in the Home app after an update as accessories can be added. However, since there is no HomeKit entry code, the process is faulty and eventually they can be integrated with the speaker. In addition, the app also warns that routers have not yet been "authenticated."
It is not yet known when Eero routers will be fully compatible with HomeKit, but seeing this partial recognition should not take long to become available. Eero routers can be purchased from Amazon Spain, because Amazon acquired the product almost a year ago.
