Availability Check

可用性检查

swift
import HomeKit

let homeManager = HMHomeManager()

// HomeKit is available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Apple Watch, Mac, and Vision Pro.
// Authorization is handled through the delegate:
homeManager.delegate = self

HomeKit Data Model

HomeKit数据模型

HomeKit organizes home automation in a hierarchy:
text
HMHomeManager
  -> HMHome (one or more)
       -> HMRoom (rooms in the home)
            -> HMAccessory (devices in a room)
                 -> HMService (functions: light, thermostat, etc.)
                      -> HMCharacteristic (readable/writable values)
       -> HMZone (groups of rooms)
       -> HMActionSet (grouped actions)
       -> HMTrigger (time or event-based triggers)
HomeKit将家庭自动化按层级结构组织:
text
HMHomeManager
  -> HMHome (one or more)
       -> HMRoom (rooms in the home)
            -> HMAccessory (devices in a room)
                 -> HMService (functions: light, thermostat, etc.)
                      -> HMCharacteristic (readable/writable values)
       -> HMZone (groups of rooms)
       -> HMActionSet (grouped actions)
       -> HMTrigger (time or event-based triggers)

Initializing the Home Manager

初始化家庭管理器

Create a single
HMHomeManager
and implement the delegate to know when data is loaded. HomeKit loads asynchronously -- do not access
homes
until the delegate fires.
swift
import HomeKit

final class HomeStore: NSObject, HMHomeManagerDelegate {
    let homeManager = HMHomeManager()

    override init() {
        super.init()
        homeManager.delegate = self
    }

    func homeManagerDidUpdateHomes(_ manager: HMHomeManager) {
        // Safe to access manager.homes now
        let homes = manager.homes
        let primaryHome = manager.primaryHome
        print("Loaded \(homes.count) homes")
    }

    func homeManager(
        _ manager: HMHomeManager,
        didUpdate status: HMHomeManagerAuthorizationStatus
    ) {
        if status.contains(.authorized) {
            print("HomeKit access granted")
        }
    }
}
创建单个
HMHomeManager
实例并实现代理,以知晓数据何时加载完成。HomeKit采用异步加载方式——在代理触发前请勿访问
homes
属性。
swift
import HomeKit

final class HomeStore: NSObject, HMHomeManagerDelegate {
    let homeManager = HMHomeManager()

    override init() {
        super.init()
        homeManager.delegate = self
    }

    func homeManagerDidUpdateHomes(_ manager: HMHomeManager) {
        // Safe to access manager.homes now
        let homes = manager.homes
        let primaryHome = manager.primaryHome
        print("Loaded \\(homes.count) homes")
    }

    func homeManager(
        _ manager: HMHomeManager,
        didUpdate status: HMHomeManagerAuthorizationStatus
    ) {
        if status.contains(.authorized) {
            print("HomeKit access granted")
        }
    }
}

Accessing Rooms

访问房间

swift
guard let home = homeManager.primaryHome else { return }

let rooms = home.rooms
let kitchen = rooms.first { $0.name == "Kitchen" }

// Room for accessories not assigned to a specific room
let defaultRoom = home.roomForEntireHome()
swift
guard let home = homeManager.primaryHome else { return }

let rooms = home.rooms
let kitchen = rooms.first { $0.name == "Kitchen" }

// Room for accessories not assigned to a specific room
let defaultRoom = home.roomForEntireHome()

Managing Accessories

配件管理

Discovering and Adding Accessories

发现并添加配件

swift
// System UI for accessory discovery
home.addAndSetupAccessories { error in
    if let error {
        print("Setup failed: \(error)")
    }
}
swift
// System UI for accessory discovery
home.addAndSetupAccessories { error in
    if let error {
        print("Setup failed: \\(error)")
    }
}

Listing Accessories and Services

列出配件与服务

swift
for accessory in home.accessories {
    print("\(accessory.name) in \(accessory.room?.name ?? "unassigned")")

    for service in accessory.services {
        print("  Service: \(service.serviceType)")

        for characteristic in service.characteristics {
            print("    \(characteristic.characteristicType): \(characteristic.value ?? "nil")")
        }
    }
}
swift
for accessory in home.accessories {
    print("\\(accessory.name) in \\(accessory.room?.name ?? "unassigned")")

    for service in accessory.services {
        print("  Service: \\(service.serviceType)")

        for characteristic in service.characteristics {
            print("    \\(characteristic.characteristicType): \\(characteristic.value ?? "nil")")
        }
    }
}

Moving an Accessory to a Room

将配件移至指定房间

swift
guard let accessory = home.accessories.first,
      let bedroom = home.rooms.first(where: { $0.name == "Bedroom" }) else { return }

home.assignAccessory(accessory, to: bedroom) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Failed to move accessory: \(error)")
    }
}
swift
guard let accessory = home.accessories.first,
      let bedroom = home.rooms.first(where: { $0.name == "Bedroom" }) else { return }

home.assignAccessory(accessory, to: bedroom) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Failed to move accessory: \\(error)")
    }
}

Reading and Writing Characteristics

特性读写

Reading a Value

读取值

swift
let characteristic: HMCharacteristic = // obtained from a service

characteristic.readValue { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }
    if let value = characteristic.value as? Bool {
        print("Power state: \(value)")
    }
}
swift
let characteristic: HMCharacteristic = // obtained from a service

characteristic.readValue { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }
    if let value = characteristic.value as? Bool {
        print("Power state: \\(value)")
    }
}

Writing a Value

写入值

swift
// Turn on a light
characteristic.writeValue(true) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Write failed: \(error)")
    }
}
swift
// Turn on a light
characteristic.writeValue(true) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Write failed: \\(error)")
    }
}

Observing Changes

监听变更

Enable notifications for real-time updates:
swift
characteristic.enableNotification(true) { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }
}

// In HMAccessoryDelegate:
func accessory(
    _ accessory: HMAccessory,
    service: HMService,
    didUpdateValueFor characteristic: HMCharacteristic
) {
    print("Updated: \(characteristic.value ?? "nil")")
}
启用通知以获取实时更新:
swift
characteristic.enableNotification(true) { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }
}

// In HMAccessoryDelegate:
func accessory(
    _ accessory: HMAccessory,
    service: HMService,
    didUpdateValueFor characteristic: HMCharacteristic
) {
    print("Updated: \\(characteristic.value ?? "nil")")
}

Action Sets and Triggers

动作集与触发器

Creating an Action Set

创建动作集

An
HMActionSet
groups characteristic writes that execute together:
swift
home.addActionSet(withName: "Good Night") { actionSet, error in
    guard let actionSet, error == nil else { return }

    // Turn off living room light
    let lightChar = livingRoomLight.powerCharacteristic
    let action = HMCharacteristicWriteAction(
        characteristic: lightChar,
        targetValue: false as NSCopying
    )
    actionSet.addAction(action) { error in
        guard error == nil else { return }
        print("Action added to Good Night scene")
    }
}
HMActionSet
可将多个特性写入操作分组,使其同步执行:
swift
home.addActionSet(withName: "Good Night") { actionSet, error in
    guard let actionSet, error == nil else { return }

    // Turn off living room light
    let lightChar = livingRoomLight.powerCharacteristic
    let action = HMCharacteristicWriteAction(
        characteristic: lightChar,
        targetValue: false as NSCopying
    )
    actionSet.addAction(action) { error in
        guard error == nil else { return }
        print("Action added to Good Night scene")
    }
}

Executing an Action Set

执行动作集

swift
home.executeActionSet(actionSet) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Execution failed: \(error)")
    }
}
swift
home.executeActionSet(actionSet) { error in
    if let error {
        print("Execution failed: \\(error)")
    }
}

Creating a Timer Trigger

创建定时器触发器

swift
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.hour = 22
dateComponents.minute = 30

let trigger = HMTimerTrigger(
    name: "Nightly",
    fireDate: Calendar.current.nextDate(
        after: Date(),
        matching: dateComponents,
        matchingPolicy: .nextTime
    )!,
    timeZone: .current,
    recurrence: dateComponents,  // Repeats daily at 22:30
    recurrenceCalendar: .current
)

home.addTrigger(trigger) { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }

    // Attach the action set to the trigger
    trigger.addActionSet(goodNightActionSet) { error in
        guard error == nil else { return }

        trigger.enable(true) { error in
            print("Trigger enabled: \(error == nil)")
        }
    }
}
swift
var dateComponents = DateComponents()
dateComponents.hour = 22
dateComponents.minute = 30

let trigger = HMTimerTrigger(
    name: "Nightly",
    fireDate: Calendar.current.nextDate(
        after: Date(),
        matching: dateComponents,
        matchingPolicy: .nextTime
    )!,
    timeZone: .current,
    recurrence: dateComponents,  // Repeats daily at 22:30
    recurrenceCalendar: .current
)

home.addTrigger(trigger) { error in
    guard error == nil else { return }

    // Attach the action set to the trigger
    trigger.addActionSet(goodNightActionSet) { error in
        guard error == nil else { return }

        trigger.enable(true) { error in
            print("Trigger enabled: \\(error == nil)")
        }
    }
}

Creating an Event Trigger

创建事件触发器

swift
let motionDetected = HMCharacteristicEvent(
    characteristic: motionSensorCharacteristic,
    triggerValue: true as NSCopying
)

let eventTrigger = HMEventTrigger(
    name: "Motion Lights",
    events: [motionDetected],
    predicate: nil
)

home.addTrigger(eventTrigger) { error in
    // Add action sets as above
}
swift
let motionDetected = HMCharacteristicEvent(
    characteristic: motionSensorCharacteristic,
    triggerValue: true as NSCopying
)

let eventTrigger = HMEventTrigger(
    name: "Motion Lights",
    events: [motionDetected],
    predicate: nil
)

home.addTrigger(eventTrigger) { error in
    // Add action sets as above
}

Matter Commissioning

Matter设备部署

Use
MatterAddDeviceRequest
to commission a Matter device into your ecosystem. This is separate from HomeKit -- it handles the pairing flow.
使用
MatterAddDeviceRequest
将Matter设备部署到您的生态系统中。这与HomeKit是独立的流程——它负责处理配对流程。

Basic Commissioning

基础部署

swift
import MatterSupport

func addMatterDevice() async throws {
    guard MatterAddDeviceRequest.isSupported else {
        print("Matter not supported on this device")
        return
    }

    let topology = MatterAddDeviceRequest.Topology(
        ecosystemName: "My Smart Home",
        homes: [
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home(displayName: "Main House")
        ]
    )

    let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
        topology: topology,
        setupPayload: nil,
        showing: .allDevices
    )

    // Presents system UI for device pairing
    try await request.perform()
}
swift
import MatterSupport

func addMatterDevice() async throws {
    guard MatterAddDeviceRequest.isSupported else {
        print("Matter not supported on this device")
        return
    }

    let topology = MatterAddDeviceRequest.Topology(
        ecosystemName: "My Smart Home",
        homes: [
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home(displayName: "Main House")
        ]
    )

    let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
        topology: topology,
        setupPayload: nil,
        showing: .allDevices
    )

    // Presents system UI for device pairing
    try await request.perform()
}

Filtering Devices

过滤设备

swift
// Only show devices from a specific vendor
let criteria = MatterAddDeviceRequest.DeviceCriteria.vendorID(0x1234)

let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
    topology: topology,
    setupPayload: nil,
    showing: criteria
)
swift
// Only show devices from a specific vendor
let criteria = MatterAddDeviceRequest.DeviceCriteria.vendorID(0x1234)

let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
    topology: topology,
    setupPayload: nil,
    showing: criteria
)

Combining Device Criteria

组合设备筛选条件

swift
let criteria = MatterAddDeviceRequest.DeviceCriteria.all([
    .vendorID(0x1234),
    .not(.productID(0x0001))  // Exclude a specific product
])
swift
let criteria = MatterAddDeviceRequest.DeviceCriteria.all([
    .vendorID(0x1234),
    .not(.productID(0x0001))  // Exclude a specific product
])

MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler

MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler

For full ecosystem support, create a MatterSupport Extension. The extension handles commissioning callbacks:
swift
import MatterSupport

final class MatterHandler: MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler {

    override func validateDeviceCredential(
        _ deviceCredential: DeviceCredential
    ) async throws {
        // Validate the device attestation certificate
        // Throw to reject the device
    }

    override func rooms(
        in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?
    ) async -> [MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room] {
        // Return rooms in the selected home
        return [
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room(displayName: "Living Room"),
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room(displayName: "Kitchen")
        ]
    }

    override func configureDevice(
        named name: String,
        in room: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room?
    ) async {
        // Save the device configuration to your backend
        print("Configuring \(name) in \(room?.displayName ?? "no room")")
    }

    override func commissionDevice(
        in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?,
        onboardingPayload: String,
        commissioningID: UUID
    ) async throws {
        // Use the onboarding payload to commission the device
        // into your fabric using the Matter framework
    }
}
如需完整的生态系统支持,请创建MatterSupport扩展。该扩展负责处理部署回调:
swift
import MatterSupport

final class MatterHandler: MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler {

    override func validateDeviceCredential(
        _ deviceCredential: DeviceCredential
    ) async throws {
        // Validate the device attestation certificate
        // Throw to reject the device
    }

    override func rooms(
        in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?
    ) async -> [MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room] {
        // Return rooms in the selected home
        return [
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room(displayName: "Living Room"),
            MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room(displayName: "Kitchen")
        ]
    }

    override func configureDevice(
        named name: String,
        in room: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Room?
    ) async {
        // Save the device configuration to your backend
        print("Configuring \\(name) in \\(room?.displayName ?? "no room")")
    }

    override func commissionDevice(
        in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?,
        onboardingPayload: String,
        commissioningID: UUID
    ) async throws {
        // Use the onboarding payload to commission the device
        // into your fabric using the Matter framework
    }
}

Common Mistakes

常见错误

DON'T: Access homes before the delegate fires

错误做法:在代理触发前访问homes属性

swift
// WRONG -- homes array is empty until delegate is called
let manager = HMHomeManager()
let homes = manager.homes  // Always empty here

// CORRECT -- wait for delegate
func homeManagerDidUpdateHomes(_ manager: HMHomeManager) {
    let homes = manager.homes  // Now populated
}
swift
// WRONG -- homes array is empty until delegate is called
let manager = HMHomeManager()
let homes = manager.homes  // Always empty here

// CORRECT -- wait for delegate
func homeManagerDidUpdateHomes(_ manager: HMHomeManager) {
    let homes = manager.homes  // Now populated
}

DON'T: Confuse HomeKit setup with Matter commissioning

错误做法:混淆HomeKit配置与Matter部署

swift
// WRONG -- using HomeKit accessory setup for a Matter ecosystem app
home.addAndSetupAccessories { error in }

// CORRECT -- use MatterAddDeviceRequest for Matter ecosystem commissioning
let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
    topology: topology,
    setupPayload: nil,
    showing: .allDevices
)
try await request.perform()
swift
// WRONG -- using HomeKit accessory setup for a Matter ecosystem app
home.addAndSetupAccessories { error in }

// CORRECT -- use MatterAddDeviceRequest for Matter ecosystem commissioning
let request = MatterAddDeviceRequest(
    topology: topology,
    setupPayload: nil,
    showing: .allDevices
)
try await request.perform()

DON'T: Forget required entitlements

错误做法:遗漏必要权限

swift
// WRONG -- calling Matter APIs without the MatterSupport entitlement
// Results in runtime error

// CORRECT -- ensure these are set up:
// 1. HomeKit capability for HMHomeManager access
// 2. MatterSupport Extension target for ecosystem commissioning
// 3. com.apple.developer.matter.allow-setup-payload if providing setup codes
swift
// WRONG -- calling Matter APIs without the MatterSupport entitlement
// Results in runtime error

// CORRECT -- ensure these are set up:
// 1. HomeKit capability for HMHomeManager access
// 2. MatterSupport Extension target for ecosystem commissioning
// 3. com.apple.developer.matter.allow-setup-payload if providing setup codes

DON'T: Create multiple HMHomeManager instances

错误做法:创建多个HMHomeManager实例

swift
// WRONG -- each instance loads the full database independently
class ScreenA { let manager = HMHomeManager() }
class ScreenB { let manager = HMHomeManager() }

// CORRECT -- single shared instance
@Observable
final class HomeStore {
    static let shared = HomeStore()
    let homeManager = HMHomeManager()
}
swift
// WRONG -- each instance loads the full database independently
class ScreenA { let manager = HMHomeManager() }
class ScreenB { let manager = HMHomeManager() }

// CORRECT -- single shared instance
@Observable
final class HomeStore {
    static let shared = HomeStore()
    let homeManager = HMHomeManager()
}

DON'T: Write characteristics without checking metadata

错误做法:未检查元数据就写入特性值

swift
// WRONG -- writing a value outside the valid range
characteristic.writeValue(500) { _ in }

// CORRECT -- check metadata first
if let metadata = characteristic.metadata,
   let maxValue = metadata.maximumValue?.intValue {
    let safeValue = min(brightness, maxValue)
    characteristic.writeValue(safeValue) { _ in }
}
swift
// WRONG -- writing a value outside the valid range
characteristic.writeValue(500) { _ in }

// CORRECT -- check metadata first
if let metadata = characteristic.metadata,
   let maxValue = metadata.maximumValue?.intValue {
    let safeValue = min(brightness, maxValue)
    characteristic.writeValue(safeValue) { _ in }
}
