LG Electronics expands Apple Home lineup with new smart security and climate accessories built for Apple Home Collection

LG says it will sell a set of new smart home accessories designed in collaboration with Apple, targeting both indoor and outdoor security and connected comfort.

LG Electronics announced a new slate of smart home accessories that it says were designed in collaboration with Apple for the Apple Home Collection. The announcement, published by Yahoo Finance, positions LG as a hardware partner in Apple’s smart home ecosystem, aligning new security and control devices with Apple’s home experience.

According to the announcement, the product line includes cameras for indoor and outdoor use, a video doorbell, and an additional layer of home access control with a smart lock. LG also said it is launching a smart thermostat, extending the collaboration beyond cameras and entry devices into heating and cooling management.

LG’s move follows a broader industry push to bundle consumer smart home hardware into tighter, app-based ecosystems. For Apple, third-party devices in its Apple Home Collection are a way to broaden device choice for customers without building every component in-house, while for manufacturers like LG, Apple certification and compatibility can help reduce customer friction when setting up multiple devices.

The specific devices LG named highlight common pain points in home security and automation. Indoor and outdoor cameras and a video doorbell address perimeter and package-protection scenarios, while a smart lock targets the replacement of traditional keys with controlled access. A thermostat, meanwhile, moves the collaboration into day-to-day energy and comfort routines.

Even without technical specifications in the announcement, the lineup suggests LG is aiming at a coordinated “multi-device” home setup, where security hardware and automation are expected to operate together through a single home platform. In practical terms, Apple Home Collection branding typically indicates that devices are intended to integrate within Apple’s smart home framework, rather than requiring separate, manufacturer-only setup for every product.

LG did not disclose in the posted announcement any pricing, exact release timing, or detailed feature sets for the devices, such as supported video formats, storage options, or compatibility specifics beyond the stated Apple Home Collection design collaboration. It also did not provide information on regional availability, retailer partners, or whether earlier LG smart home products will receive software updates to match any new integration.

What to watch next is how LG and Apple describe the deployment experience for these accessories, including setup steps for Apple users and the user-facing controls customers can expect. Additional disclosure on availability, cost, and supporting services would also clarify how LG’s new Apple-aligned offerings will compete in the smart home accessory market, where buyers often compare installation complexity and ongoing subscription requirements.

Why It Matters

  • An Apple Home Collection partnership can make it easier for customers to mix multiple brands inside Apple’s smart home experience.
  • LG’s focus on both security (cameras, doorbell, lock) and comfort (thermostat) indicates a push toward multi-device home ecosystems rather than single-purpose gadgets.
  • The announcement highlights the ongoing strategy among consumer electronics firms to build compatibility with major smart home platforms as a differentiator.
  • Without disclosed pricing and availability, the competitive impact will depend on how quickly these products reach shelves and what feature set LG ultimately offers.
