Apple HomeKit will allow you to control your entire house using Home app on your iOS devices including the Apple Watch.

Setup guide

Make sure you're in the same network with your iOS device as your bOS server. Procedure for adding devices to HomeKit is similar to Alexa and Google Home. HomeKit is located under General and API. We need to add the Endpoints node in order to start adding bOS devices. Selecting Endpoints node provides us with the basic information about the HomeKit. Make sure you select the correct port and enable the endpoints in order for the Home app to find the bOS Server. It is advised to add the devices under Endpoints before the Home app is synced with bOS so all devices are visible.

To add your bOS devices under Endpoints, select the correct type of the device you're adding to HomeKit. Certain devices might be found under the same type (dimmable lamp can be find under Light Bulb).
