Apple has opened preorders for the initial batch of smart home devices developed in collaboration with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Customers can now purchase select items through the official online store, with deliveries scheduled to begin between December 11 and December 17.
The available preorder lineup includes the LG Outdoor Cam for $299.95, the Indoor Cam for $199.95, and the Video Doorbell for $249.95. These devices support the Thread protocol to maintain connectivity during network outages and feature an automated credential update system.
Other products in the collection, such as the LG Floodlight Cam at $399.95, the Smart Deadbolt Lock at $349.95, and the LG Smart Thermostat at $199.95, are currently listed without specific preorder or shipping dates. The same applies to the Schneider Home Smart Thermostat priced at $199.95 and the Room Sensor at $39.95.
The launch coincides with the release of the new Siri-powered HomeView smart display. Apple aims to simplify the installation process for these devices, allowing users to configure them by tapping the hardware with an iPhone.
