4. Select the remote button with the “+” sign
5. Select HomeKit from the integrations section
6. Select the home where the device you want to control is
7. Select the device you want to control
8. Select an action for the device from:
• On - Turns device on
• Off - Turns device off
• Toggle - changes the status from on to off or vice versa
• Check status - The app will show the current status of device

Once a remote button has been created you can control your devices by pressing on it. Please note that your iOS device needs to be in the same network as your HomeKit devices in order to control them. If you want to control them remotely, you need to set up a home hub with an AppleTV, HomePod or iPad:
