  "account": "FCC filings have revealed the designs of three upcoming LG smart home accessories reportedly developed with Apple's help. These include a thermostat, a temperature sensor, and a deadbolt lock. Bloomberg reported yesterday that Apple is working with LG Electronics on accessories for its upcoming home hub and other home products.\n\nThe smart thermostat features a round, puck-like body and a raised edge. Its back shows a small socket and two round bumps near the bottom. The device supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread, with a built-in 60 GHz radar for presence or approach detection. It offers settings for a Far Sight Display, humidity display, screen brightness, and language. The thermostat measures temperature and humidity and provides alerts for battery replacement. It runs on a 24-volt AC power supply.\n\nThe temperature sensor, also round, operates on a 3-volt CR2477 coin battery. Its back displays the product name, model number, and manufacturing information. It measures both temperature and humidity and provides battery replacement alerts. The sensor connects via Bluetooth Low Energy and Thread.\n\nThe smart deadbolt lock has a tall interior unit with straight sides and a curved top and bottom. It comes in Graphite and Silver versions and runs on four AA batteries. The lock supports Bluetooth, Thread, near-field communication, and ultra-wideband (UWB) connectivity. It verifies access credentials over Bluetooth, uses UWB to determine the lock's position, and grants access. The lock features settings for a touchpad light ring, door left audio alarm, lock sound volume, and automatic unlocking. It also includes mechanical keys and fits standard brackets.",
