Apple unveiled its AI smart home device, "HomeView (HomeView)," on the 13th (local time) and began its push into the home AI market. HomeView is a product that serves as a screen- and voice-based hub for controlling in-home devices.
Through HomeView, Apple will handle control of in-home devices and has moved to expand its smart home ecosystem by jointly developing security cameras and door locks with LG Electronics and linking jointly developed devices. HomeView is equipped with a 7-inch display and "Siri AI (Siri AI)," and integrates music playback, video calls, and smart home management functions. It will be released in tabletop and wall-mounted versions.
HomeView provides individualized home screens for up to 6 people based on facial recognition. It can also connect with iPhones and iPads that support Apple Intelligence, and when connected, it supports responses that use personal schedules and messages.
LG Electronics has expanded not only the control hub but also the smart home devices that connect to it. LG Electronics and Apple jointly developed 7 types of smart home devices, including indoor and outdoor cameras, video doorbells, smart door locks, thermostats, and temperature sensors. The key point of this announcement is the simultaneous expansion of the control hub and peripheral devices. LG Electronics said it went beyond simple compatibility by combining its own residential space and product experience with Apple's platform capabilities.
The lineup forms the "Apple Home Collection." HomeView is equipped with Siri AI. Users can check visitors with Apple devices such as HomeView, manage access, and control indoor temperature. The photo credit is Apple.
For LG Electronics, it became an opportunity to expand touchpoints for smart home products aimed at Apple users. The security camera combines video viewing functions with AI analysis functions. For supported iCloud+ plans, it provides event video recording. Some iCloud+ plans support AI's video-content description function, and they also support a function for searching recorded video based on everyday language.
The indoor camera stops recording when family members return home. The indoor camera's privacy-protection method is to tilt the lens downward.
HomeView will be sold in the U.S. for USD 299 and will begin sales in the U.S. and some other countries from November 13. However, South Korea was not included in Apple's initial list of launch countries, and the initial language support for Siri AI on HomeView is English. As a result, for domestic consumers, the timing of the South Korean launch and Korean language support are seen as key variables, and the timing of the South Korean launch and Korean language support is expected to determine the scope of use going forward.
