iOS 16.2 will improve HomeKit and the Home app

The first beta of iOS 16.2 brings a Important Home app updatewhich Apple has already announced at the last WWDC and which will improve the performance of HomeKit.

iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2 and macOS Ventura 13.1, which have just released the first beta, bring an internal update to the Casa application, with a new architecture, which will lead to improved performance of our entire HomeKit network

and that comes on top of the recent iOS 16.1 update that adds compatibility with Matter, the new universal protocol for home automation.

For this update to take effect, it is necessary that all devices with access to our HomeKit network are updated to iOS 16.2 (and equivalents), including HomePods. Apple assures that with this new Home application, which aesthetically does not undergo any apparent change, the performance and response speed of the devices will be improved, especially in homes where a significant number of accessories are added to the HomeKit network.

Apple continues on its marked path to improve HomeKit. After a few years in which it seemed reluctant to add changes to its home automation network, with iOS 16 the bet is clear. First a new home appwith a much more modern design that lets you access more devices from a single screen. Then came compatibility with Matter

, something that it will take time to enjoy because the accessories compatible with this protocol must arrive. and now this internal redesign of the Casa app to improve your performance. Y no nos olvidemos de los rumores sobre un nuevo device híbrido entre iPad y altavoz que serviía como center de control de toda la domótica del hogar, nos sólo mediante instrucciones de voz sino también gracias a una gran pantalla táctil que nos ofrecería toda la información sobre our home.
