# HMAccessoryBrowserDelegate

An interface used to notify an accessory browser delegate of new accessories.

## Declaration

```swift
protocol HMAccessoryBrowserDelegate : NSObjectProtocol
```

## Overview

Overview important: To enable a consistent user experience across HomeKit enabled apps, use either the addAndSetupAccessories(completionHandler:) or the addAndSetupAccessories(with:completionHandler:) method of the HMHome class instead of an accessory browser. These calls manage all the details of the accessory search process for you.
