Apple has announced the release dates for the first devices in its Apple Home Collection, a line of smart home products co-developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Preorders for several devices are now available through Apple's online store, with shipping expected to begin in mid-December.
The first set of devices that can be preordered include the LG Outdoor Cam for $299.95 and the Indoor Cam for $199.95. The LG Video Doorbell, priced at $249.95, also has a pre-order option, with an estimated shipping window from December 11th to 17th.
Other items in the collection, such as the LG Floodlight Cam for $399.95, the LG Smart Deadbolt Lock for $349.95, the Schneider Home Smart Thermostat for $199.95, the Schneider Home Room Sensor for $199.95, and the $39.95 Schneider Home Room Sensor, are not yet available for pre-order and do not have estimated shipping dates.
Despite not offering exclusive features, Apple claims the setup process for these devices is simplified. Users can pair them with their iPhone to get them working. The devices also utilize Thread for connectivity and can automatically update their network credentials if the user changes their Wi-Fi settings.
