Apple’s HomeKit Accessory Protocol is getting widespread adoption in more and more homes. With the ability to control home automation devices using just their iOS device, lots of consumers are finding it easier and more convenient to turn their homes into smart homes.

We has developed a HomeKit accessory reference design solution to cut short the time it takes to launch HomeKit-enabled accessories. Based on HomeKit SDK from Nordic running on nRF52832 BLE SoC, this reference design provides a platform for quick prototyping and proof of concept. Incorporated into the hardware are temperature sensor, humidity sensor and control circuitry for lighting and relay. With successful proof of concept, the design can then be adopted for HomeKit products targeting a wide range of applications like humidity sensors, thermostats, fans and light bulbs
