As there was not enough space on the flash memory of our Stations processor, we took the decision to double its capacity.

Netatmo. Our companys first product, the Smart Home Weather Station, marks the beginning of our story back in September 2012.

Since then we have developed other products to support you in the world of the smart home.

We have also used these seven years to continuously improve the Weather Station.

Launching the three accessories and our Weathermap have enabled us to create a complete Weather Station as well as the worlds first community of connected weather stations.

Developments such as the compatibility with Amazon Alexa have helped the Station evolve at the same time as the smart home ecosystem.

We have made each of these evolutions available for all our users, whether they purchased their Station in 2012 or this year.

This desire to constantly evolve our products is deeply rooted in our DNA.

It allows us, on the one hand, to keep satisfying you by adding new services and, on the other hand, to avoid the phenomenon of programmed obsolescence from which the world of technology too often suffers.

The compatibility with Apple HomeKit, one of our users main expectations, is now available.

Since 22 October 2019, new users of our Home Weather Stations can enjoy the compatibility with Apple HomeKit.

We started laying the first bricks of the compatibility of our Stations three years ago.

However, despite our best efforts, not all of our users will be able to benefit from this compatibility.

Apple Homekit was launched in iOS 8 in September 2014, after being announced at the WWDC 2014 (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference).

These were still early days for the Smart Home, the functions were limited and not easy for everyone to access: there was no native Apple app for managing products compatible with HomeKit, it had to be through a third-party app.

However, as we were certain HomeKit represented a real opportunity for the smart home, we decided to take a chance and make our products compatible.

The benefit of this compatibility for our users seemed most important on this product.

At the WWDC in June 2016, Apple announced the Home app as a new feature in iOS 10.

The Home app, a real control centre for HomeKit accessories, made the potential of Apple HomeKit more tangible and justified the choice we made two years ago.

We then took the decision to make our Weather Station compatible.

Requirements include, among others: o Using asymmetric encryption algorithms to ensure the HomeKit identity and security.

For a given iOS device, each user has a HomeKit identity used to authenticate the communication between iOS devices and HomeKit compatible products.

These protocols allow allocation of a unique address to each device (in this case the Station) that connects to the internet.

This is the protocol used to configure the Station and allow it to communicate on the local network.

It is based on the Multicast DNS service (Multicast Domain Name System).
