November 29, 2016 - Silicon Labs (also known as "core technology") has introduced a Bluetooth® software solution that enables developers to efficiently create Apple HomeKit accessories. Silicon Labs supports HomeKit's Bluetooth solution, pre-tested by Apple. This gives developers the opportunity to get a quick time to market, streamline engineering, and help end product suppliers minimize risk when bringing their HomeKit-enabled accessories to market. Bluetooth 4.2 compliant software provides a simple, easy-to-use API in the form of a library of functions, pre-tested and verified by Apple, providing accessory developers with a low-risk solution to speed time-to-market. Silicon Labs supports Apple HomeKit development projects through a number of design resources, including Wireless Gecko SoC and modules, easy-to-use Simplicity StudioTM development tools, plug-ins for Bluetooth Developer Studio, sample application examples and source code, with source code iOS app, various documentation and technical support. For more information on using Silicon Labs' Bluetooth software, tools, Wireless Gecko SoC and modules to develop Apple HomeKit accessories, visit the official website. Developing accessories based on the Apple HomeKit protocol and security technology requires multiple interoperability tests. Silicon Labs' support for Apple HomeKit's Bluetooth solution has been pre-tested and certified by Apple, and has also passed the HomeKit specification compatibility certification test. This pre-certification provides developers with the benefits of a fast time-to-market, streamlined engineering, and helps end-product vendors minimize risk when their devices are certified by Apple. RikuMettälä, vice president of product marketing at Silicon Labs IoT, said: "Silicon Labs can help smart home accessory developers speed time to market and successfully integrate their products with HomeKit. We invested a lot of time and engineering to ensure our Bluetooth software Compliant with the Apple HomeKit specification. Developers using our pre-tested solutions will be far ahead in helping iOS users use Siri voice control and home apps to control their smart home products." In addition to the features required to develop Apple HomeKit accessories, Silicon Labs' Bluetooth 4.2 compliant protocol stack also supports a number of key features such as LE secure connections for secure Bluetooth pairing, LE packet extensions for higher throughput, and LE dual topology and OTA (over-the-air) firmware update for flexible network configuration. Silicon Labs provides complete software tools to simplify Apple HomeKit development. Simplicity Studio simplifies IoT design with one-click access to Eclipse-based IDEs, energy analysis, configuration and network analysis tools, demos, software samples, documentation, technical support and community forums. Silicon Labs' BGScript language simplifies Bluetooth development with an easy-to-use BASIC-like syntax. Simplicity Studio also supports third-party tools, such as the Bluetooth SIG's Bluetooth Developer Studio, which enables developers to automatically generate code for Apple HomeKit widgets and get up and running in less than an hour. The core hardware that Silicon Labs provides for Apple HomeKit development is the Wireless Gecko SoC product line, which includes the Blue Gecko SoC for Bluetooth applications. Silicon Labs also offers several Bluetooth module families, including the new ultra-small BGM12x System-in-Package (SiP) modules. With integrated antenna and regulatory certification, wireless modules are ideal for developers who want to reduce engineering costs and speed time-to-market. Silicon Labs also helps developers with easy-to-use development kits, including the new Thunderboard Sense Sensor-to-Cloud development kit.
