# HomeAccessorySettingsContext

A type that holds the resources that your settings provider needs to communicate with an accessory.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol HomeAccessorySettingsContext
```

## Overview

Overview For example, a context might hold a web service client, a Matter handle, or cached identifiers. The framework passes it to your provider on every call: struct ThermostatContext: HomeAccessorySettingsContext {     let webService: ThermostatWebService } If your provider doesn’t need a context, declare an empty type like the following: struct NoContext: HomeAccessorySettingsContext { }
