  "account": "Apple has announced that certain accessories from its Apple Home Collection will be available for purchase starting this Friday, November 13, with delivery commencing in December. The Apple Home Collection is a new range of smart home accessories designed in partnership with LG and Schneider Electric. The collection includes indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, a video doorbell, and a door lock. These Apple Home Collection gadgets are designed to work seamlessly with the HomeView, a new smart home hub introduced last month.\n\nThe LG Video Doorbell, priced at $249.95, features dual cameras, one with 2.5K resolution and the other in full HD. It also has a built-in spotlight and a chime that plays through HomeView, HomePod, or HomePod mini. The LG Outdoor Cam, available for $299.95, offers low-light color night vision and can be adjusted in various directions. The LG Indoor Cam, priced at $199.95, has a privacy-preserving tilt feature that adjusts according to geofencing, with the ability to manually control the tilt as well.\n\nThe LG Floodlight Cam, costing $399.95, has dual floodlights that activate when motion is detected and low-light color night vision. The LG Smart Deadbolt Lock, priced at $349.95, utilizes Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology and can unlock automatically when the homeowner approaches without requiring a tap. It also supports unlocking via PIN or a hidden backup key slot and detects whether the door is opened, closed, or tampered with. The doorbell and lock can function together, allowing users to view who is at the door and unlock it if necessary.\n\nThe LG Thermostat, available for $199.95, supports Adaptive Temperature and can be used in the U.S. with a compatible utility plan to activate heating and cooling during lower-cost periods. The thermostat can monitor temperature and humidity across multiple rooms using separate sensors, each priced at $39.95. A corresponding thermostat from Schneider Electric, also at $199.95, features Adaptive Temperature and is compatible with temperature and humidity sensors priced at $39.95. Further details about the accessories can be found in MacRumors' previous reports.",
