The Door That Opens Itself: LG and Apple's Seven AI Home Devices
It tells you when a parcel lands on the doorstep, and the indoor camera switches to privacy mode when you walk in. LG Electronics and Apple unveiled seven co-developed AI home devices in New York on the 13th, US time.
The seven-piece lineup
An indoor camera, two outdoor cameras (with and without a floodlight), a video doorbell, a smart door lock, a thermostat and a temperature sensor.
LG and Apple hosted the event together in Manhattan. The colors are Essence Graphite, White and Silver.
What the cameras can tell
The vision AI in the cameras and doorbell separates people, animals, vehicles and deliveries. A parcel left at the door, for instance, triggers a notice.
Indoor cameras also pick up sounds such as a baby crying or glass breaking, and slip into privacy mode when residents come home. The outdoor cameras and doorbell are rated IP65 for dust and water.
A lock that reads your intent, a thermostat that reads the room
The door lock carries several sensors that read movement and entry intent, then open the door without a hand on it. Tampering or forced entry sends an alert.
The thermostat reads the user's location, schedule and the weather to run heating and cooling. It works with iPhone and Apple Watch.
One tap with your iPhone
Hold the device to an iPhone or iPad and it pairs in one go. History is stored in the cloud, and security combines LG Shield with Apple's data encryption.
Reports say the products ship under the LG brand, with LG handling manufacturing, sales and support and Apple joining design and feature development. They work with both LG ThinQ and Apple devices.
Will they come to Korea?
They launch this year, first in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. No Korean launch date or price has been given.
LG's Jung Ki-hyun, head of the HS Platform Business Center, said: "We will combine LG's expertise in appliances and living spaces, Apple's unmatched user experience and both companies' strong security to deliver a safe, intuitive AI home experience."
