Apple has unveiled its HomeView along with a new collection of smart home accessories, a collaboration with LG and Schneider Electric. The Home Collection features cameras, thermostats, and a smart lock previously revealed in partnership with LG. Schneider Electric is the other manufacturing partner for these products, which will carry the brand of their maker instead.
Apple emphasizes that these appliances prioritize privacy, with end-to-end encrypted data in the Home app, inaccessible to any of the partners. Despite Apple's involvement, LG Electronics also contributes a smart thermostat and accessory to the collection, leading to some overlap in product categories. The availability and pricing of these smart home products remain uncertain outside of the US, UK, and Canada, with Apple yet to announce specifics for other markets.
Within these three countries, the Home Collection will launch in December, with some accessories available starting early 2027. Here are the items in the collection and their US prices: LG Floodlight Cam at $399.95 (~RM1,633), LG Indoor Cam Plug-in at $199.95 (~RM817), LG Outdoor Cam Plug-in at $299.95 (~RM1,225), LG Smart Deadbolt Lock at $349.95 (~RM1,429), LG Video Doorbell Wired at $249.95 (~RM1,020), LG Smart Thermostat at $199.95 (~RM817), and LG Temperature Sensor.
