I would be really surprised though if Philips didn't find a way for Hue to work with HomeKit. That would be a bummer.
outside of replacing the current hub, what benefit would it provide being a part of home kit?

My question is WHEN exactly in October is this thing gonna be on the shelves?
Oh? Anything cool you're able to tell us about it yet?
Is there an actual Siri API so that you can do TTS and/or STT? or is Apple still keeping Siri all to themselves?
When I looked at the terms I believe it required an Enterprise Developer account ($299, not the $99 one) so that would knock a few less serious folks out. Plus the prioritized based on developers with Apps already published in the store...
I'm not a developer so this may be a stupid question: Do the apps have to be focused on television content and games? Are you able to develop apps for any application, like home automation? I was really surprised they didn't have any integration of Siri and Homekit shown at the keynote. That seems like a killer feature for the new AppleTV.
If they didn't announce that you can talk to other devices, I'd assume not, Apple is generally VERY slow in opening up communications to other devices.

Well, hopefully you'll get it, I didn'tFingers crossed I get my invite email. I've been playing with the SDK, it's pretty cool if a little overwhelming.

Hmmm. I tried that. It looked like the Apple TV propped up with a few coins. I talked into the remote. Nothing happened. I'm curious. What was the purpose of your post?For owners of the current Apple TV who anticipate upgrading, ready yourself for the new hardware by propping your device up on a few coins and talking to your remote.
No go.

I wouldn't want to gamble with my developer account.
