NXP Semiconductors’ new software developmentkit (SDK) for Kinetis microcontrollers (MCUs) offers support for home automation applications using Apple HomeKit technology. Leveraging the performance and Bluetooth Smart connectivity of NXP’s Kinetis products, the solution streamlines development for a wide range of HomeKit compatible products.
HomeKit is a framework in iOS that lets accessories connect seamlessly so people can better manage their homes. It offers a set of common protocols which enable accessories to work together easily and securely, and allows consumers to control them simply using Siri. HomeKit is built on a secure foundation with end-to-end encryption, providing customers a secure connection between their iPhone, iPad or iPod touch and HomeKit-enabled accessories.
HomeKit software from NXP works with Kinetis K MCUs such as the K11, K22, K24 and K26, while Kinetis KW40Z or KW30Z wireless MCUs provide Bluetooth Smart functionality. Based on the ARM Cortex-M4 core, Kinetis K series MCUs incorporate an arsenal of security features such as cryptographic keys storage, software and system protection options, a hardware random number generator (RNG), and integrated system tamper detection.
The first product based on NXP Kinetis technology with HomeKit support is the Schlage Sense Smart Deadbolt from Allegion, already available in retail stores including the Apple Store. Schlage’s solution is designed to let users control door locks using an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, as well as manage and store multiple access codes and share electronic access.
