The great thing about Apple's HomeKit home automation platform is that now devices can be made to support it via nothing more than a software update. That's exactly what has happened today, with Belkin's Wemo Mini smart plug now HomeKit-capable. Owners of the plug can install the Wemo iOS app and update the device's software in order to connect it directly to the Home app, making it available for existing scenes and capable of Siri support without the need for Belkin's Wemo Bridge.
Accessory and home automation device maker Belkin has today announced that its Wemo smart home devices will support Apple HomeKit beginning this fall thanks to the launch of a new HomeKit-enabled Wemo Bridge.
