SmartThings does not natively support Apple HomeKit. Samsung and Apple have never built a direct integration, and as of 2026 that has not changed. But the answer to “can these two ecosystems work together” is no longer a flat no – Matter has complicated things in a useful way. Here is the actual state of … Read more
Yes, Harmony Hub worked with HomeKit – past tense intentional. Logitech discontinued the entire Harmony product line in April 2021, which means no new units, no updates, and no pretending this is a product you should go buy today. That said, if you already own one, the setup still works and the servers are (as … Read more
No. Ring does not support Apple HomeKit – not natively, not officially, not even a little bit. Amazon bought Ring in 2018, and Amazon and Apple are direct competitors in the smart home space.

Geeni devices run on Tuya’s platform, which has its own cloud infrastructure – HomeKit certification requires hardware-level changes Geeni has not made. If HomeKit is a hard requirement, Geeni is the wrong ecosystem. That said, there are two paths … Read more

If you want to automate lights, sensors, thermostats, and a few dozen other devices from a single dashboard, this is the project. This … Read more
