Probably you have seen all the junk gimcrackery which is being passed as HomeKit to enable the 'smart home' and hardly any of it has any decent security so there's another morass just begging for the attentions of hackers. At MacWorld, this is an ecosystem. (MacWorld: The state of the Apple HomeKit market: Apple's smart-home ecosystem has yet to coalesce)
Using the term 'ecosystem' in such an inappropriate and precious manner is one of the reasons people hate Apple regardless of the quality the company has delivered in other areas. Apple's desktop computers are still high quality even though Tim Cook has fallen and he can't get up which means he hasn't done much with desktop machines in years.
Cook has given us a replacement for that awful Fallen and I Can't Get Up commercial and the iWatch may be seen as HomeKit as well since now it will probably call for help instead of whatever the commercial would deliver. It's good to know someone will come to collect your dead ass, I guess.
Mostly the HomeKit allows controlling thermostats, locks, lights, etc which isn't all that much more intelligent than The Clapper which was another infuriatingly annoying commercial from way back.

Apple's HomeKit looks like it's The Clapper revisited ... with LEDs and much greater expense.
Look at the bright side since, probably in the not too distant future, devices will be much better integrated into homes and all of this HomeKit flim flam can be chucked to the same place The Clapper went.
Ed: it's very own ecosystem?
Right there on Rumpke Mountain.
Ed: the landfill?
The same.
