Ikea's Tradfri line is a good and inexpensive gateway to Apple's HomeKit system
I've used a number of different HomeKit products including Trådfri - as William says it's a bit clunky to set up, but it's also cheap and I think would be a great solution for a lot of people to build out a broad HomeKit ecosystem across the home. My main issue with Trådfri was the frequency with which I needed to restart the hub - it would often disconnect from the Home App. In contrast the Philips Hue Bridge I rarely ever need to intervene with. But in terms of the range of different products on the horizon for Trådfri I think it would be a superb option if they could just improve the latency and reliability issues a bit.
