The line will include several categories of devices, including smart thermostats, security cameras and video intercoms. However, Apple has not yet announced which accessories will be included in the first batch and promises to reveal additional details later.
One of the main advantages of the new accessories will be close integration with the Apple ecosystem. The devices were designed so that users could configure them directly from the Home app, without installing third-party software or creating additional accounts.
In addition, the accessories will support modern Apple Home technologies. In particular, smart thermostats have an Adaptive Temperature function, which refers to new capabilities for controlling temperature in a smart home.
The launch of the Apple Home Collection is timed to coincide with the release of other new products from the company for the home ecosystem. In particular, starting today, HomeView and the new generation of Apple TV 4K will appear in stores. On the same day, pre-orders for some Home Collection accessories will open on the Apple website. Their deliveries will begin in December.
