Can I use the Apple Home app and HomeKit away from home?

To control your accessories remotely (away from home) via the Home app and Siri, you’ll need an Apple TV (3rd generation) with tvOS 9.0 or later.

To set up automations and user permissions, you’ll need an Apple TV (4th generation) with tvOS 10 or an iPad with iOS 10 or later.
