Differences between Apple HomeKit and Siri Voice control.
Lots of people are confused with HomeKit and Siri voice control as both let you control your smart bulb by saying “Hey Siri, turn on lights”. So, what’s the difference between them? If you have a HomeKit light bulb, when your say “Hi Siri, turn on lights” to your iphone, your voice command will be send to Apple icloud, then icloud will process your voice and convert it to be digital and encrypted message. The control message will be sent to the bulb directly and the bulb will be turned on. Under this circumstance, all data is processed in Apple’s closed loop. If you have a Siri supported light bulb (not HomeKit), when you say “Hi Siri, turn on lights” to your iphone, the same thing is your voice commend will be sent to Apple icloud, processed there and converted to digital and encrypted message. The difference is now the control message will not be sent to device directly but trigger Broadlink App API to send the command to Broadlink cloud. Then Broadlink cloud will send the control message to the bulb and the bulb will be turned on.
