Summary
December availability will kick off Apple Home Collection, a new smart-home lineup spanning LG cameras, locks and thermostats plus Schneider thermostats and room sensors.
One-tap iPhone setup and control through the Apple Home app are central to the push, with no separate app or account required and end-to-end encryption for home data.
LG’s hardware leads the range: a $249.95 video doorbell with 2.5K front video, a $399.95 floodlight cam, a $299.95 outdoor cam and a $199.95 indoor cam with privacy-focused auto-tilt.
Apple said built-in storage keeps cameras recording during Wi-Fi outages, while some HomeKit Secure Video history and Apple Intelligence features require iCloud+ and a compatible home hub.
HomeView will not be sold in the EU because Siri AI is unavailable in iOS there, underscoring how Apple’s broader smart-home rollout still depends on regional AI access.
