Please start working on integration with HomeKit for iOS!

HomeKit will support irrigation systems with iOS 11

+1 I have wanted one of these for a while. I am moving to a new house soon and would love to install one. However I won’t get it until I hear HomeKit support is coming and with iOS 11 around the corner removing hardware requirements for HomeKit support, I hope that is soon.

Not being an apologist for Apple or Rachio, but I just opened the Home app on my iPhone 7 running iOS 11.1.2 and when selecting the Learn About Home Accessories link, as of now, there is not a category for faucets or sprinklers - both of which were announced at WWDC back this summer. So until a spr…

That’s correct. Until HomeKit releases their Irrigation profile and settings for Irrigation systems, we can’t comment on any sort of integration.

WatchOS 4.2 was just released. Release notes include this little snippet: watchOS 4.2 update also adds support for HomeKit sprinklers and faucets Interesting that’s there but no mention in iOS 11.2

I bet the irrigation profile will be enabled with the release of the Apple Homepod early in 2018, which will include AirPlay 2 among the new features. At that time expect a round of firmware/software updates for every iOs device.

Wonder if it not being enabled on 11.2 (released Saturday) had to do with this? Apparently the temp fix was done on Apple’s servers, with another iOS release coming soon to truly fix it. Zero-day iOS HomeKit vulnerability allowed remote access to smart accessories including locks, fix rolling out …

Is there a 2018 Update to the HomeKit compatibility future??
