— connecting security sensors to HomeKit involves scanning the HomeKit code in the "Home" app, after which the sensor immediately appears in the appropriate room with the type of event (opening, motion, leak, smoke/CO). For remote access and automation, an Apple home hub (HomePod/Apple TV/iPad) is required, and for new models with Matter/Thread, a compatible hub with Thread radio is needed. Next, notifications are set up on the iPhone/Watch, geofences such as "left/arrived," and scenes (turn on the light, lock the door, activate the siren) are configured, with everything working locally with end-to-end encryption.
