The Wireless Internet Connectivity for Embedded Devices (WICED) Studio platform now adds iCloud remote access support for Wi-Fi-based accessories that support Apple HomeKit.
Developers can leverage iCloud support in the WICED software development kit (SDK) and the CYW43907 Wi-Fi MCU to create hub-independent platforms that connect directly to Siri voice control and the Apple Home app remotely.
According to the company, WICED Studio provides a single development environment for multiple wireless technologies, with an easy-to-use application programming interface.
The kit is said to include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth protocol stacks, and to offer simplified application programming interfaces.
The SDK also supports the company's 802.11ac Wi-Fi solutions that use high speed transmissions, which the company claims enables IoT devices with faster downloads, better range and lower power consumption by exploiting deep sleep modes.
