The range of possibilities depends on whether you want to use Apple HomeKit, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. For HomeKit you can choose from several apps, like the Home app from Apple, to visualize your home. With HomeKit you can control your home with the voice assistant Siri on the iPad, iPhone, Apple watch, AppleTV and also with the HomePod. In case you have an Amazon Echo or Google Home, you can use voice commands for Alexa or the Google Assistant to control your home. Alexa and Google Home are available in only a few languages and support only a modest set of components. As soon as Amazon and Google extend their functionalities, Pairot will quickly add the support for these features through a free firmware update. Currently the following components are supported:
