@s_rosenthaler 

 

Hello, as far as I know, there is no plan to add homekit enabled feature on Deco yet, while the marketing and technology varies due to the actual demands. You can keep an eye on official website.

 

Meanwhile, you do not have to worry about the security, the firewall of the Deco is enabled by default and you can enable the antivirus feature to protect the local network.

 

Best regards.

@Kevin_Z HomeKit for Routers is an additional layer to seperate HomeKit devices like cameras from the main network and monitoring such devices in an easy way. As you plan to add HomeKit support for your cameras it would make sense to integrate the HomeKit for Routers feature in your Router lineup. Can you pass this to the development department?
