FOR THIS COMING SATURDAY'S
...[ O V O E ] CONFERENCE CALL...
1)...Apple AAPL +0.71% is getting close to rolling out its smart home plans in a big way.
2)...The company today ...pushed out... a little noticed update to its set-top box, Apple TV, to make it support Home Kit, according to a person with knowledge of the program.
3)...Home Kit is Apple’s protocol for allowing connected home gadgets to connect safely and easily in iOS 8.
4)...The update means that ...Apple TV could be the ...Home Media Hub...
that unifies the fragmented smart home industry,

5)...Apple TV has both Bluetooth low energy and Wi-Fi wireless technologies, both of which Apple has made clear
are the primary technologies that connected devices will communicate through in the ...NEW iOS 8... environment.
6)...Apple TV is a device that is always on in your home, making it ideal as a hub to communicate with smart devices.

9)...And many speculate that a more powerful Apple TV is ...soon on its way.

that ...{ iOS 8 } developers... received last week, which included in the release notes that ”Home Kit support ...is built into... the Apple TV firmware now,” he said.
11)...According to this person, anyone with a third generation Apple TV and with the latest 7.0 software update will now likely have Home Kit enabled, ...whether they know it, or not.
12)...Why isn’ t this update more apparent in Apple TV right now?
13)...”[There's] not a lot of reason to promote Home Kit from Apple’s perspective
...until there’s something that works with it,” the person said................
