Epson Issues Projector Update With AirPlay, HomeKit

Epson has announced that its newest range of projectors now comes with built-in support for both AirPlay 2 and Apple Home, further bridging the gap between professional-grade display technology and Apple’s smart home ecosystem. These features are pre-installed and already active on select models, catering to the growing demand for seamless content sharing and smart integration across home, education, and business environments.

With native AirPlay 2, users can wirelessly stream video and audio directly from their iPhone, iPad, or Mac to a supported projector – ideal for watching films, showcasing photos, sharing presentations, or playing music and podcasts. Content can be shared from compatible apps or even Safari, extending the ease of Apple’s ecosystem to larger shared displays.

Apple Home compatibility, meanwhile, enables users to control projector functions via the Apple Home app or through Siri voice commands. Supported actions include powering the projector on or off using devices such as an iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, Mac, or HomePod/mini. The integration adds a layer of automation and convenience, particularly for those with smart home scenes already in place.

“By integrating Apple AirPlay 2 and HomeKit into our projector line-up, we’re addressing the needs of teachers, business professionals, and home users who value ease of use and seamless connectivity,” said Massimo Pizzocri, Vice President of Epson Europe’s Video Projector Division. “These updates not only enhance usability but also ensure our latest models fit smoothly into today’s smart environments.”
