Networking and home security company Netgear announced on Monday Apple HomeKit compatibility for its $250 Arlo Baby monitor (roughly £185 or AU$320 converted).

The Arlo Baby, much like Netgear's extended line of Arlo security cameras, comes with HD video, night vision and free seven-day cloud storage. But the Arlo Baby also comes with two-way talk, air quality sensors, a dimmable night-light and a sound/lullaby music player. 

It has a rechargeable battery, too, so you can move the monitor between rooms without bothering with a power cord. 

Adding support for HomeKit means Arlo Baby customers can monitor and manage their cameras both in the Home app and with Siri . Adding an Arlo Baby to the Home app opens it up for advanced automation with other HomeKit-compatible devices.

Netgear says this functionality is now available.
