Apple Homekit is the more restricted one vs Smart things.

In smart things, you can get your "smart items" to communicate with a physical hub and you can do more complex automations. But certain devices can function via wifi and don't need the hub.

Homekit doesn't use a hub and thus I think it's basically like allowing an app to communicate with other apps.
