Apple, Home architecture

Still using Apple’s old Home architecture? Get ready for a big change
It’s been more than two years since Apple pulled the switch on an all-new architecture for its smart home app, but there are still plenty of users who are hanging onto the old Home infrastructure, either to maintain compatibility with older devices or for fear of a bumpy transition.
Apple Home: architecture upgrade could soon become mandatory
The beta of iOS 18.4 indicates the end of Apple's original HomeKit architecture. This would be a problem for users of older hardware.
The next iOS update might force you to upgrade Apple Home
The next iOS update might force HomeKit users to update to the latest Home app architecture or lose support, according to code unearthed in the iOS 18.4 beta.
Apple will ‘soon’ force everyone to use the new Home app
Besides, updating to a new setup can cause compatibility problems with devices still running older software. Whatever the reason, almost two years later, not everyone has updated to the new version… and until now Apple has been fine with that.
Apple will soon require users to upgrade to new HomeKit architecture
Since upgrading to the new architecture breaks support for the Home app on devices running older versions of iOS and macOS, some users have chosen not to upgrade. However, with this new requirement, everyone will be forced to upgrade to the new architecture in order to keep using the Home app and HomeKit accessories.
