How to Add Any LifeSmart Device to Apple HomeKit

LifeSmart HomeKit integration will solve the problems of all LifeSmart Apple users! I recently bought some LifeSmart Devices and want to control these devices using Apple Home App via Siri voice command.  

I wanted to add my LifeSmart things to HomeKit and here are the solutions I tested out and what I think is the best solution for you! 

AddtoHomeKit [Recommended Solution]

AddtoHomeKit is the best! It is a web application and a downloadable app that guides you to add any device to Apple HomeKit. Personally, I used AddtoHomeKit to add many devices to HomeKit and I loved it. Recently they also updated their services and will be offering installation support as well! They provide in-depth step by step guides that ease the whole process.
