Apple and LG team up on new smart home gear, starting with a lock, doorbell, and thermostat
Apple and LG are secretly cooking up a new line of smart home devices, including a video doorbell, thermostat, and indoor camera, under a 'second-party' development arrangement, according to a report from The Verge. The devices will reportedly feature LG branding but integrate with Apple's rumored smart home hub, expected to launch on October 13th.
The collaboration marks Apple's deeper dive into the smart home space, with the company expected to take the wraps off its Siri AI-enabled smart home hub later this month. The devices will also support smart home protocols Thread and Matter, which could make them more compatible with other smart home systems.
The new smart home devices from Apple and LG are expected to be a big deal, with the company's rumored smart home hub potentially revolutionizing the way we control our homes. The devices will reportedly come with advanced features like ultra-wideband technology and support for multiple smart home protocols, making them a major player in the smart home market.
