It covers indoor and outdoor cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell and a door lock. Apple has not listed which items make up the \"select\" group.\n\nPrices:\n\n- LG Video Doorbell: $249.95, with a 2.5K front camera and a full HD camera aimed at packages\n- LG Outdoor Cam: $299.95\n- LG Indoor Cam: $199.95, which tilts up when people are home and down when they leave, based on geofencing (a location trigger)\n- LG Floodlight Cam: $399.95\n- LG Smart Deadbolt Lock: $349.95, with UWB (ultra-wideband, a short-range radio) for hands-free unlocking\n- LG Thermostat: $199.95\n- Schneider Electric Thermostat: $199.95\n- Temperature and humidity sensors: $39.95\n\nThe pricing shows where the money goes. A doorbell and lock together run $599.90, and a thermostat with two sensors comes to $279.85. Apple said the doorbell and lock can work as one unit, so you can see a visitor and open the door.\n\nThe lineup also continues Apple's habit in the home category of leaning on partners for hardware. Here, though, Apple says it designed the products, which is a step beyond certifying someone else's gadgets.\n\nThe two thermostats share a price and both support Adaptive Temperature, but their listings differ. Only the LG model is described as able to run heating and cooling during lower-cost periods, and that applies in the U.S. to users with a compatible utility plan. Whether the Schneider Electric model gets the same feature is the question to answer before choosing between them.","[\"apple\",\"smart-home\",\"homeview\",\"lg\"]","2026-11-12T14:00:08.000Z","2026-11-12T15:05:05.048Z","2026-11-12T15:05:05.662Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The source says only 'select' Home Collection accessories open for order November 13, so the headline and lede overstate availability for the whole line; also cut the process note 'none of it has been tested here', and remove or source the claims that Apple 'sets the design and price itself' (the source says only 'designed in collaboration') and that the HomeKit ecosystem 'has been uneven'.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"The closing claim that the LG and Schneider Electric thermostats differ only by brand is unsupported and partly contradicted by the source, which lists the lower-cost-period energy feature only for the LG model, so fix that comparison.
