At The Developer’s Conference (TDC) Florianópolis 2017, I gave an introductory talk in the iOS track focused on HomeKit, Apple’s framework for interacting with smart home devices.

The session aimed to cover the fundamentals of HomeKit development, including:

  • How the HomeKit ecosystem is structured
  • Home configuration and permissions
  • Accessory setup and characteristics
  • The Home app vs custom integrations
  • Creating simple automations using Swift

This was a hands-on presentation with code examples and a discussion of what it takes to get a HomeKit-enabled prototype working in a development or test environment.
