Seoul, July 1, 2015 – Nordic Semiconductor ASA (OSE: NOD, www.nordicsemi.com), a specialist in ultra low power (ULP) wireless solutions, announces the launch of a HomeKit solution based on its nRF51 Series Bluetooth® Smart SoCs. Fully compliant with HomeKit’s technical specifications, the solution simplifies development and accelerates time to market for connected home products for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

A new SDK based on the nRF51 Series Bluetooth Smart SoCs enables developers to create unique solutions for HomeKit products that meet their size, power, and performance requirements. This highly optimized solution is a single-chip implementation that runs both the HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) and application firmware on the same chip. The ultra-low-power design makes it ideal for battery-powered HomeKit products such as doorbells and thermostats. The release of the nRF51 SDK for HomeKit extends Nordic's reach for its nRF51 Series Bluetooth Smart SoCs into the next generation of connected home products.
Launched with iOS 8 last year, HomeKit is a framework for implementing products and apps that offer superior security and consistent ease of use when using an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch for two-way communication with smart home products. These products include LED lighting control, indoor temperature control, and other home appliances. HomeKit supports voice control via Siri or apps that run HomeKit.
“This SDK enables developers to build HomeKit-enabled products for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch based on the nRF51 Series,” says Geir Langeland, sales and marketing director at Nordic Semiconductor. “HomeKit ensures that consumers have convenient access to their smart home products at all times, while also completely solving security issues.”
Danish company Poly-Control has developed an innovative and stylish keyless door lock system called Danalock. “The nRF51822 SoC and this SDK allowed us to achieve what we wanted,” says Henning Overgaard, CEO of Poly-Control. “The nRF51822 enables us to implement a complex Bluetooth smart door lock system for HomeKit in a single-chip solution. The ultra-low power consumption also exceeded our expectations.”
The nRF51 SDK for HomeKit is available only to companies that have obtained an MFI license.
