South Korean LG Electronics and U.S. company Apple have jointly developed seven smart home products as part of the Apple Home Collection initiative.
The products include indoor and outdoor cameras, a video doorbell, a smart door lock, a thermostat and a temperature sensor. The collaboration covers hardware, software and user experience, with integration into Apple’s home platform and LG’s ThinQ app.
The products will be able to identify people, pets and vehicles, among other things, and automate lighting, temperature and locking functions.
The launch begins in December in the U.S. and Canada, while certain products will arrive in early 2027. In the U.K., cameras and a video doorbell will launch in December.
No product prices or financial terms for the collaboration were disclosed.
On Tuesday, Apple also unveiled HomeView, a new smart home display with a seven-inch screen, facial recognition and the AI-based voice assistant Siri AI. The product can be used for video calls, entertainment and controlling smart homes. At the same time, a new generation of Apple TV 4K is being launched with Siri AI, improved performance and support for surround sound with four HomePod speakers.
