Apple’s HomeKit platform, which allows Siri-control of Wi-Fi connected home automation accessories, is one of the big areas of interest for accessory makers at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.

With the event officially kicking off today (jan 6), we’ve put together one place to find all of the announcements this week for the latest HomeKit products. 

Some of the highlights so far: the first ceiling fans and window blinds for the platform are on show this week, while more outlets, switches, thermostats and door lock options also gain support.

And the products come from some notable companies in the space including Honeywell, Lutron, Kwikset, iHome, and more. 

Head below for the full list of HomeKit accessories announced this week.
