HomeKit is the smart home platform accessible through Apple devices and software - namely the Apple Home App, HomePod, or through Siri.
This integration will allow you to control loads that are directly wired to the Brilliant Control, Brilliant Smart Dimmer Switches, and Brilliant Smart Plugs from your Apple Home app, HomePod, or through Siri.
This will allow loads that are directly wired to your Brilliant like lights (dimmable or not) or on/off devices (ex. fans) to show up as HomeKit accessories and be included in scenes and automation within the Apple Home experience.
Note: smart bulbs like Hue/LIFX that are directly wired as a Brilliant Control or Brilliant Switch load would be configured as an "Always On" load from the Brilliant side, and would need to be set up as HomeKit accessories from the LIFX and Hue app.
