Apple announced at WWDC 21 Home Key as part of HomeKit in iOS15. Since then we have been waiting for smart lock manufactures to announce support and it looks like the first will arrive later this year. I have got my hands on with two future Home Key compatible smart locks and I have been looking at the features that Home key will bring for HomeKit
So if you have not heard what Apple Home Key is and what it could mean for your smart home, then continue watching this video to find out how to set it up, how it works with the iPhone and Apple Watch and some of the additional features like lost mode, power reserve mode and HomeKit guest access for smart locks.
