The hardware expansion centers on LG-manufactured devices, including a $249 dual-lens video doorbell capable of 2.5K resolution, designed to monitor both visitors and package deliveries. The security lineup extends to indoor and outdoor cameras, ranging from a $199 motorized indoor unit to a $399 outdoor version equipped with motion-activated floodlights. All cameras maintain a consistent, tubular aesthetic across the brand.
Apple Expands Smart Home Ecosystem with LG and Schneider Electric
A $349 smart lock featuring UWB-enabled keyless entry headlines Apple’s new Home Collection, a six-device lineup developed alongside LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Debuted at the "Welcome Home" event, the suite integrates advanced security cameras, video doorbells, and Matter-compatible thermostats into the company's broader push for a unified automated environment.
Climate control is addressed through two distinct units: an LG-branded round thermostat and a square model from Schneider Electric, both priced at $199 and supporting the Matter interoperability standard. Management of these devices occurs through the newly introduced HomeView display, an AI-powered hub that centralizes control via Siri. Users can interact with the collection through this interface or existing Apple devices like the iPhone, marking a significant effort to solidify the company's footprint in the competitive smart home market.
