How to control your home remotely with iPhone

by Emily Long

In the Home app, you can control your accessories even when you’re away from home. To do so, you need a home hub, a device such as Apple TV 4K or HomePod. In fact, if you’re signed in to the same Apple Account on it, it’s set up automatically as a home hub.
