“HomeKit software authentication” — sounds like they are lowering their requirements for smart home products to be more like what we’ve seen from Echo? Anyone know more about this?
- pilif 9y agoAFAIK, you still need to have your devices certified with apple and you still owe them a percentage of the cost. But you don't need to put a physical authentication chip into your devices any more. This lowers the cost and allows for retroactive certification.
- alphabettsy 9y agoYou won’t have to have a HomeKit chip in the product as you do now, you will be able to use software signing and authentication.
