Hi, the idea is interesting. But if I understand correctly, it only works in the Apple ecosystem? I'd like to know why. Thanks. Best regards.

Thanks, Homecast is specifically for people who already use the Apple Home app but want to access their setup outside of the Apple ecosystem.

For example, say you have an Apple HomeKit-based smart home setup, but someone in your house has an Android device, Homecast will enable the Android user to access the devices still.
