CNET:

When you’re trying to decide which ecosystem to install in your house — which lights, which doorbell, which smart cams, which router — you should be thinking about whether your platform of choice works consistently, which devices it works with and whether it will keep your information safe. After working for years in the CNET Smart Home and comparing all those aspects, I’ve arrived at what to me was a surprising conclusion: Apple’s HomeKit might actually be the best smart home platform.

Yes, seriously.

I haven’t used much in the way of smart home technology but I’ve done a lot of research on it in preparation for having at least a “less dumb” home. When it comes to privacy and security, what Apple has and has planned for HomeKit attracts me the most.
