So is Homekit just another platform like Zigbee, Z-Wave, MQTT?

New to HA. Trying to get on board. I am trying to make sense of all this. Is Homekit just another IOT platform like Z-WAVE, Zigbee, Shelly?

Homekit is great if everything you own is Apple. It has it’s own protocol. Some stuff will talk to Homekit, most won’t.

Got it. Although I seemed to be married to Apple, I think it is time we see other people.
