Devices based on Apple Inc.’s HomeKit will appear in stores next month, the company said.
HomeKit, which is built into Apple’s iOS 8 mobile operating system, provides software so makers of garage door openers, light switches and other home devices can be controlled with an iPhone or iPad.
“HomeKit has been available for just a few months and we already have dozens of partners who have committed to bringing HomeKit accessories to market and we’re looking forward to the first ones coming next month,” Trudy Muller, a spokeswoman for Cupertino, California-based Apple, said Thursday in a statement.
IDevices has said it will begin selling in the fourth quarter a HomeKit-compatible switch to control doors, lights and other products.
“We’re testing the software, and it works very well,” Chris Allen, chief executive officer of Avon, Connecticut-based iDevices, said Thursday.
Fortune reported earlier Thursday that HomeKit had been delayed by a few months, until August or September.
