Where is the best place to obtain up to date and accurate information regarding compatible devices with Apple home kit? I currently have 5 smart plugs which I got through iHome Control They work reasonably well and do show up under the home app on my iPhone 6S running IOS 10.1.1. However, it still appears that to set rules etc I still need to use the iHome Control app. I also have the talking honeywell WI-FI thermostat but apparently that is not compatible with Apple's home kit as I cannot get it to appear in the app. I would consider getting a thermostat that would work sell with home kit but it seems very difficult to get accurate information. Do others on this forum have any up to date references or experiences to share?
