Apple do appear to been rather slow with this kind of device. Hopefully they will catch up the likes of Amazon.

I think Apple need to do more to engage with hardware manufacturers. I have a Tado heating control system and LIFX lights. The manufacturers have already embraced Amazon Echo first and only Tado has announced that it will be providing access to Apple Home. Unfortunately this requires replacement of the recently introduced Tado internet bridge version 2 with version 3. The v 2 bridge works with Amazon Echo without needing replacement .

l plan to try controlling my Tado heating using first Amazon Echo and in a month with Apple Home to compare how well each works. 

Apple are big supporters of music. It is really important to them. They will want to improve the quality of the listening experience. Those who love music and want the best quality sound will be keen to test new lighting cable headphones from Apple and others to find out if they are an improvement over the old analog 3.5 jack headphones. My guess is that a digital headphone connection will bring noticeable improvements, music lovers will want to change and that all the major manufacturers will be bringing out lighting connected headphones within 3 to 6 months. In a short period We will  forget about the fuss being made about the loss of the 3.5 headphone jack.

One small thing to remember when traveling. You can't use wireless devices on an airplane.

I have purchased two Elgato products, one a find a key fob and the other a HomeKit eve weather. Neither worked.
