Apple Watch
Given the integration capabilities of PowerView and Apple HomeKit and general iOS system improvements, we no longer need to support a native integration with Apple Watch.
Instead, we encourage users with legacy PowerView systems looking to operate their system using their Apple watch to do so through Apple Home. Instructions for integrating legacy PowerView with HomeKit are available here. A Gen 2 Hub is required.
