Unfortunately, the TCL R635 does not come with built-in compatibility with Apple HomeKit. While the TV does support voice control through Apple's Siri, it does not support direct integration with the Home app and the rest of the HomeKit ecosystem.

However, there are some workarounds that you can use to add some HomeKit functionality to your TCL R635. For example, you could use a HomeKit-compatible smart plug to turn the TV on and off, or a HomeKit-compatible hub like the Apple TV to control the TV through the Home app.

Overall, while the TCL R635 does not have native HomeKit compatibility, there are ways to incorporate it into your smart home setup if you're willing to put in a bit of extra effort.
