New Home Collection banner offers Apple-influenced accessories
On Tuesday as a part of its deluge of smart home announcements, Apple has launched something a bit different: a series of products called Apple Home Collection that are… not quite Apple products, but not not Apple products.…
Apple has introduced a new line of smart home accessories called the Apple Home Collection, which are not standalone products but collaborations with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. These items, including cameras, a smart doorbell, a smart deadbolt lock, and smart thermostats, share a clean, minimal aesthetic and are built with premium materials.
Each accessory can be easily set up with a single tap from an iPhone using the Apple Home app. They all support Thread, Apple's proprietary wireless networking standard. The collection will be available starting in December. Apple's press release hints at potential differences in system compatibility for the smart thermostats, possibly catering to various HVAC systems.
The products require no additional setup beyond the Apple Home app and are designed to integrate seamlessly with iCloud+, offering storage plans for 50GB, up to 200GB, or unlimited (2TB) cameras.
