Apple unveiled its Home Collection on 13 October 2026, with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric supplying the hardware. LG is making the cameras, video doorbell and smart lock; Schneider Electric is supplying a thermostat and a room sensor.
Sales start in December in the United States and Canada, and the United Kingdom is also on the launch schedule. Apple plans to sell the collection through its online store, the Apple Store app and retail stores. Some accessories will not arrive until early 2027.
The rollout varies by product. LG’s cameras are planned for all three launch markets, while the lock and some thermostats are initially intended for the United States and Canada. Apple has not confirmed availability in Spain or euro prices.
For buyers in Spain, regional availability is the sticking point, not device compatibility. HomeView will not be sold in the European Union. The collection can use a HomePod, HomePod mini or Apple TV 4K as its smart home hub. Setup runs through an iPhone, and Apple Home manages the accessories without separate LG or Schneider Electric apps or accounts.
LG’s three cameras record at up to 2.5K. They can identify people and familiar faces, recognise pets, and detect vehicles or parcels. The lineup includes indoor and outdoor cameras, plus a separate outdoor model with a floodlight.
Recordings remain available for ten days through the user’s iCloud+ plan at no extra charge. The 50GB plan supports one camera; with 200GB, users can connect up to five. The 2TB plan supports an unlimited number. Apple says Apple Intelligence and iCloud+ can provide video descriptions and let users search footage with natural-language queries. Built-in storage keeps recording if Wi-Fi drops.
The outdoor surveillance camera costs $199.95. The outdoor camera costs $299.95, while the model with a light costs $399.95.
At the front door, LG’s Smart Deadbolt uses ultra-wideband, or UWB, to detect an approaching user. With a compatible Home Basic on an iPhone or Apple Watch, it can unlock automatically. Owners can also open it from either device, with a keypad or using an emergency basic. The lock detects when the door opens or closes and can register tampering. It sends an alert if the door is left open, even when the deadbolt is engaged.
LG’s video doorbell has two cameras, giving separate views of visitors and parcels. It also has a light. When someone rings, HomeView can play an alert, as can HomePod and HomePod mini. An iPhone or iPad receives a notification, and the user can view the visitor and speak to them. The door can then be opened with a tap or through Siri. The lock costs $349.95; the doorbell costs $249.95.
The collection includes one thermostat from LG and another from Schneider Electric. Apple’s Casa app can adjust temperatures based on whether someone is home. It can also account for sleep preparation or an empty home without a manually programmed schedule. The thermostats and separate temperature and humidity sensors support Matter and work with different heating and cooling systems.
HomeView sensors can measure temperatures in multiple rooms, as can HomePod and HomePod mini. Schneider Electric has also developed the Power Mount wall attachment for Apple HomeView.
Each thermostat costs $199.95. LG’s temperature sensor costs $39.95, the same as Schneider Home’s room sensor. Apple says users configure the accessories on an iPhone and control them through the Casa app or Siri, without separate apps or accounts. The accessories use end-to-end encryption.
