If you frequently entertain visitors or leave your home in the hands of house sitters while you're away, having a single, dedicated iPad can prevent a lot of frustration with giving them access to control home features like lights, TV or your video doorbell. Without it, you would need to grant guests access to apps on an individual basis, then revoke it when they leave.

Using a dedicated iPad for home control allows you to easily see real-time information at a glance. If you need more detailed information on how your devices are performing, it is easy to set it up so it can be viewed with just a few taps and from distances of a few feet away. Monitoring events in real-time such as home security, energy monitoring or being alerted to water leaks from anywhere in your home or on the go is not only convenient but could save you time and money in the long-run. Apple is banking on iPad being the single solution for smart homes so much that they have created Apple HomeKit to make the entire process even more streamlined and easier.
