With HomeKit, <strong>you can control all the smart home devices you have at home<\/strong>. The previous version of HomeKit that we already received premiered a new architecture, but it was eventually withdrawn. Performance problems when connecting devices and its poor performance caused it to be withdrawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new version of HomeKit is in development<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple has not explained what we will see in the new HomeKit, but it is expected to <strong>improve performance and solve the problems previously experienced by users<\/strong>. It would also not be unusual to see some functions dedicated exclusively <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/homepod-arrives-before-expected\" title=\"to the new HomePod just launched by Apple\">to the new HomePod just launched by Apple<\/a> and thus, take advantage of its <strong>temperature and humidity sensors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Definitely seems like it <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6ENJtP8pGJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/6ENJtP8pGJ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cFHQ7f1IZF\">pic.twitter.com\/cFHQ7f1IZF<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Aaron (@aaronp613) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/aaronp613\/status\/1618018457186111488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even so, we still have no official confirmation from Apple. However, new leaks of the internal code show a new version of HomeKit called <strong>ManuelMigrationV2Enabled<\/strong>. The basic version has the name <strong>ManualMigrationEnabled<\/strong>, which would &#8220;confirm&#8221; the new HomeKit. This is something we will be able to check very soon <strong>when we get the first developer beta of iOS 16.4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although we still have iOS 16.3 very fresh, rumors suggest that we will have HomeKit back with a renewed architecture in iOS 16.4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9211,"featured_media":212753,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wpcf-pageviews":0},"categories":[1015],"tags":[],"usertag":[],"vertical":[],"content-category":[],"class_list":["post-212752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9211"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212752"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212752\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":322189,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212752\/revisions\/322189"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212752"},{"taxonomy":"usertag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/usertag?post=212752"},{"taxonomy":"vertical","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/vertical?post=212752"},{"taxonomy":"content-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cms-articles.softonic.io\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-category?post=212752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
