Orbit Apple HomeKit integration

Hey Siri, what is my connection speed. How many devices are on my network and so on. I know it sounds crazy, but I was just watching the Apple WWDC2017 last week and saw Arlo in the HomeKit ios11 screen. Having HomeKit integration in the Orbi would just make it that much smarter and easier to interact with.

I love my Orbi system but I hate the ios App seems useless to me other than if I forget my wifi password(which I don't). Adding HomeKit would mean not having to open the app and getting status updates. I'm not a developer so i don't know if this is even possible or if apple even connects with routers yet. But it would be a great addition.

      "Hey Siri - why do my devices keep disconnecting ?"
