At CES on Monday, iDevices, along with Schlage and Chamberlain announced three new devices that will be compatible with Apple’s HomeKit. Announced in 2014, HomeKit is Apple’s attempt to organize the often disjointed world of home automation. iDevices and Schlage’s products will be available later this year, and Chamberlain will update its device with HomeKit as it becomes available.

iDevices, which has prior products like the iGrill Mini (a Wi-Fi-enabled cooking thermometer), is launching Switch, a plug that allows your iPhone to control the appliances, lights, and more that you plug into it. *Siri, shine the brightest lamp on that unruly teenage son at 5 a.m. *
