I don't know why this article keeps saying HomeKit doesn't do bluetooth.

>[HomeKit Accessory Protocol] supports two transports, IP and Bluetooth LE.

And this article doesn't even mention Bluetooth Mesh. Yes, it's still very new and yet to be deployed to the extent of Z-Wave and ZigBee, but with the ability to directly connect to smartphones Bluetooth Mesh could overtake those protocols in a few years.
