Apple announces Home Collection smart accessories with LG and Schneider

Apple has announced Apple Home Collection, a new lineup of smart home accessories developed with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric.

Apple introduces cameras, thermostats, and door lock. The collection includes indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell, and a door lock. All products are designed to integrate directly with the Apple Home app and require no separate account or app.

Setup begins with a single tap using an iPhone. Every accessory uses end-to-end encryption so that only users and chosen contacts can access home data.

Products emphasize privacy and simple control. The accessories work as standalone items or as part of a connected system. Users can manage them through the Home app or with Siri.

Apple worked with its partners to ensure the products meet Works with Apple Home standards while adding a unified experience. LG Electronics and Schneider Electric contributed to the design and functionality of specific items in the lineup.

Availability starts in December. Apple says availability for the lineup begins in December, with select accessories available starting early 2027. They will be sold at apple.com/store, in the Apple Store app, and at Apple Store locations.
