"This year's CES saw a burgeoning smart home device market pick up steam thanks in part to widely available infrastructure protocols like Apple's iOS-based HomeKit, with device makers like Kwikset and Elgato eager to show off their latest compatible wares. \r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/gallery/15455-11781-160106-Premis-l.jpg\" alt=\"\"  height=\"410\"  /&amp;gt;\r\n&amp;lt;span class=\"minor2 small gray\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Kwikset Premis&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nLock manufacturer Kwikset, makers of the Bluetooth-enabled &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/10/30/review-kwiksets-bluetooth-enabled-kevo-deadbolt-lock\"&amp;gt;Kevo&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; door lock, expanded its range of interconnected devices with the introduction Premis, a HomeKit-enabled deadbolt with built-in wireless connectivity. \r\n\r\nUnlike Kevo and its optional &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/10/14/august-smart-lock-debuts-apple-homekit-enabled-hardware-kwikset-unveils-kevo-plus-internet-connected-bridge\"&amp;gt;Internet bridge&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; add-on, Premis is an &amp;lt;a href=\"http://kwiksetpresskit.com/events-2/kwikset-adds-apple-homekit-compatible-device-to-smart-lock-portfolio/\"&amp;gt;all-in-one solution&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; with HomeKit baked in. Using a third-generation or better Apple TV as a hub, owners can ask Siri to lock, unlock or check on lock status directly from their iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. \r\n\r\nInside, four AA batteries deliver power to a circuitry capable of handling up to 30 unique user codes. The lock looks nearly identical to Kwikset's SmartCode 915 lineup, with a large touchscreen positioned prominently above a mechanical SmartKey keyway. White LEDs sit behind a bank of numbers for nighttime use. \r\n\r\nWhen it goes on sale later this year, Premis will be competing other HomeKit-compatible smart locks like Schlage's Sense and products from August. Pricing information has not been released.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Elgato Eve&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nElgato plans to expand on its existing Eve line of connected home products with a smart outlet and light switch, adding to a range of sensor-packed devices that track weather, monitor open doors and windows and take readings from indoor environments. \r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/gallery/15455-11782-160106-Elgato-l.jpg\" alt=\"\"  height=\"434\"  /&amp;gt;\r\n&amp;lt;span class=\"minor2 small gray\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nBoasting HomeKit support, Eve Energy can turn plugged-in appliances on and off individually with Siri voice commands or integrate with preset macro scenes. The outlet is similar to competing devices, iHome's &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/15/08/14/review-ihome-isp5-smartplug-gives-dumb-appliances-a-brain\"&amp;gt;iSP5 SmartPlug&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; comes to mind, but features unique energy consumption monitoring capabilities. Incidentally, iHome announced an updated iSP8 unit with energy monitoring functionality at CES &amp;lt;a href=\"http://appleinsider.com/articles/16/01/05/grid-connect-ihome-idevices-debut-new-apple-homekit-accessories\"&amp;gt;on Tuesday&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.\r\n\r\nElgato's light switch is also HomeKit-ready and sports a sleek exterior suitable for mounting in place of existing wall plates. A green LED positioned in the center of the button-type switch denotes operating mode, while an internal wireless module provides persistent access to lighting control on a per-room basis. \r\n\r\nAn accompanying app serves as a control center for other HomeKit devices, meaning users can assign, adjust and configure their many connected products from one place.\r\n\r\nBoth Elgato Eve products will launch later this year.
