LG Electronics and Apple have partnered to develop seven smart home accessories designed to make home automation more convenient, connected, and secure. Announced on October 13, 2026, the new devices will be part of Apple's Home Collection, combining LG's expertise in home technology with Apple's smart home ecosystem. The new range focuses on home security, access control, and temperature management. LG and Apple have collaborated on hardware, software, and user experience to ensure the products work together seamlessly. Users can set up compatible accessories with a single tap on an iPhone and control them through the Apple Home app or Siri. The devices can also work together through automated routines, helping simplify everyday household activities. For example, a morning routine can adjust the thermostat and change an indoor camera's viewing angle. Users can also automate home security and temperature settings when leaving or returning home. The new smart home accessories support modern connectivity technologies, including Matter and Thread, helping improve compatibility and reliability across connected home devices. Matter support in the thermostat and temperature sensors also helps these products work within supported smart home environments. The devices are designed to simplify installation and everyday operation, reducing the need to manage multiple applications and separate accounts. Their integration with Apple Home provides a more consistent control experience across compatible Apple devices. Home security is a major part of the new product range. LG's cameras support video recording at resolutions of up to 2.5K and are designed to help users monitor people, pets, vehicles, and packages. The video doorbell offers separate camera views for visitors and deliveries, while the smart lock provides multiple entry options. The new accessories are scheduled to begin launching in December 2026 in selected markets, including the United States and Canada, with some products planned for early 2027. Availability will vary by product and region.
The product lineup includes indoor and outdoor security cameras, a video doorbell, a smart lock, a smart thermostat, and a temperature sensor. The devices are designed to work with Apple Home and Siri, allowing users to manage multiple home functions through a unified platform.Seven Smart Home Devices for Connected Living
