No. The standard Amazon Smart Plug (the one Amazon sells under its own name) does not support Apple HomeKit. They are competing ecosystems, and Amazon has no incentive to build a bridge for you. If you bought one hoping to control it with Siri or the Apple Home app, that’s not going to happen out … Read more
Short answer: no. ADT does not natively support Apple HomeKit, and there is no official path to get it working through ADT’s own apps or hardware. If HomeKit integration is your priority, ADT is the wrong security system to build around. That said, there is a Homebridge workaround for ADT Pulse customers, and it does … Read more
Vivint does not natively support Apple HomeKit. There is no official integration, no HomeKit certification on any Vivint hardware, and Vivint has not signaled any plans to add one. If you are shopping for a security system with first-class HomeKit support, Vivint is not it. That said, there is a working workaround using Homebridge – … Read more

Some Eufy products work with Apple HomeKit, but the list is shorter than Eufy’s marketing implies and the rules are fiddly. HomeKit works on a specific slice of Eufy’s older cameras (paired with a HomeBase 2), the new eufyCam S3 Pro, the E30/E31/C34 smart locks, and three new HomeKit-compatible devices announced for Q1 2026. The … Read more
Yes – Philips Hue works with Apple HomeKit as long as you’ve got a second-generation Hue Bridge (the square one). The Bridge talks to Hue’s Zigbee bulbs and exposes them to the Home app, which gives you on/off, dimming, color, Adaptive Lighting, scenes, and Siri control. Bluetooth-only Hue bulbs with no Bridge won’t show up … Read more
Yes – but only on the Kasa products that ship with Matter. TP-Link spent years refusing to pay Apple’s MFi tax, which is why Kasa was Alexa-and-Google country for most of its life. Matter ended that argument. The Matter-certified Kasa plugs, switches, and dimmers pair straight into Apple Home over Wi-Fi using a QR code. … Read more
