The Apple Home app is the command center for all the best HomeKit accessories, putting door locks, light bulbs and more just a few touches away. Before you begin, however, you need to create a home for all your accessories. Fortunately, the Home app makes this process incredibly easy, so you can run it in seconds. Here's how to add a home to the Home app!
By default, the Home app will automatically create a home that you called My house when you first launch the app. With the default home, you can start adding accessories, creating rooms, setting custom wallpapers, and more.
If you want to be creative with your home name, you can change things through Home settings from the Home menu.
