Apple Launches HomeKit

Exciting stuff. I expect this to become a major product line for Apple over the next few years.

The Apple TV integration is particularly interesting:

Control your accessories away from home

If you have an Apple TV (3rd generation or later) with software version 7.0 or later, you can control your HomeKit-enabled accessories when you’re away from home using your iOS device.

Sign in with the same Apple ID on your iOS device and Apple TV, and you’ll be able to use Siri commands to remotely control your accessories.

Gotta love that “3rd generation or later” line. I’m feeling good about my predictions for next week.
