Hi - I really like what I have read and I will more than likely go ahead and purchase. However, my home is in the Apple ecosystem and everything is pointed at homekit. I realize I could use Homebridge as a work around, but is there any chance there will be an update to allow for use with Homekit in the near future?

I want to second this one hard. If HomeKit gets in there I'm sold. The same holds true for Ring.
How to say this in such a way as to not sound like a nutcase. For those of us who have (for better or worse) decided that Google is as evil as they swore never to become (evidence the destruction of Nest as a useful tool) and who have had it with Hubs that are never properly supported (i.e., Smart Things), it is a real heartbreaker to see such an innovative product just out of reach to those of us who have decided not to rely on hubs. HomeKit certainly has its (major) flaws, but if you would at least make your App stand alone, you wouldn't alienate those of us who have learned the hard way not to get sucked into Smart Things, Wink and all the other proprietary systems that will never really integrate things. Please consider going stand alone, whether you want to enable HomeKit or not. Systems like Ring and iDevices are actually behaving more true to "open systems". You've narrowed your market so severely (by mandating hub dependence) that you are exposing your wonderful idea to needless competition. I really want to buy your product and shout about it's merits, but I just can't bring myself to add (yet another) poorly supported agenda-driven hub to my automated home. I know there aren't many posts here, but we are the tip of an iceberg that you need to understand. Thanks.
You can integrate Konnected with HomeKit via Home Assistant. While it's not a direct integration, it does work quite well. Home Assistant can run completely within your home network and sync Konnected devices to HomeKit. You then use HomeKit to expose your alarm system securely to the internet so you can access it and notifications from your iOS device.
To do this, set up Konnected with Home Assistant as described in our documentation. Then add the HomeKit component to your Home Assistant configuration.
Has anyone successfully implemented it with HomeKit and can comment on how well it works?
Very interested in this topic. I'm a novice, but am ready to buy if this can be integrated with my whole home Apple set up. I spent a fair amount of money switching everything over and can't go to Smartthings now. Where is the documentation on setting up Home Assistant referenced above? Hell, I'll buy the Konnect kit for my old wired alarm system now because it's just a boat anchor at this point anyway (and a poor one of those).
Hub dependency is an issue for me. I much prefer to have a variety of Apple HomeKit devices so compatibility with HomeKit is essential. I'm not thrilled by the Samsung hub and find the others that you suggest too limited or too complicated for my wife and me. So, please put me down as another enthusiastic customer who wishes to have HomeKit integration out of the box.
