Wemo Update Brings Apple HomeKit Compatibility to Smart Dimmer
Wemo said its Wi-Fi smart dimmer is compatible with Apple's HomeKit smart home platform with the rollout of a software update. A new Wemo app, free at the Apple App Store, will facilitate a firmware update for the dimmers, Wemo said. The company’s mini smart plugs were already HomeKit-compatible, Belkin said, and with the switch, more than 1.5 million Wemo mini plugs and dimmer switches can be included in HomeKit scenes and be Siri voice-controlled via the HomePod smart speaker. Users also can remotely turn Wemo dimmers on-off and adjust brightness levels from an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch and Mac, it said.
