Integration Provides Control and New Home Automation Experiences Using the Apple Home App and Siri®
Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced Circle
2
Wired home security cameras and mounts now work with Apple
HomeKit. Simply set up your Circle 2 Wired camera with the Apple Home
app and enjoy access to live camera video on your iPhone® and iPad®,
notifications to your lock screen on iPhone or iPad or right on your
Apple Watch®, and home automation such as turning on the lights
automatically when motion is detected by the camera.
“HomeKit truly complements the simplicity of setting up and using Circle
2,” said Vincent Borel, director of new ventures at Logitech. “We’re
focused on building experiences that let you easily and securely control
your Circle 2 camera, while expanding its capabilities. Whether you’re
checking on the kids from another room with your iPad or looking for
extra peace of mind while you’re away, HomeKit makes Circle 2 work even
smarter for you and your family.”
Circle 2 and HomeKit gives you access to your camera’s live stream from
the Home app on your iPhone, iPad or Apple Watch, at home when you’re on
the same WiFi network or remotely if you have an Apple TV® or iPad set
up as a home hub. If you’re in the kitchen and you want to check who is
at the front door, just ask Siri to show the camera live view with a
simple command, “Hey Siri, show me the Home Security camera.”
Stay informed while you're away by receiving rich notifications on your
iPhone or iPad lock screen or Apple Watch for Circle 2 activity. You can
also use Circle 2’s motion sensor to trigger home automation experiences
such as turning the lights on when motion is detected, great for
deterring unwanted visitors while you’re away. In addition, you can use
the Circle 2 companion iOS app, Logi Circle, to enjoy more advanced
features like our popular Day Briefs.
The Circle 2 Wired camera, and the camera when attached to the Plug
Mount or Window Mount all work with Apple HomeKit.
