Apple has launched a new Apple Home Collection, a lineup of smart home accessories, according to a post by Beebom on X on October 13, 2026. The list includes cameras, a video doorbell, a smart lock and sensors, with prices starting at $39.95, or about Rs 3,799.
Beebom also asked readers whether Apple should launch these products in India, which suggests there is no confirmed Indian launch yet.
Apple Home Collection Prices at a Glance
| Product | Price (USD) | Approx. price (INR) |

| Floodlight Cam | $399.95 | Rs 38,040 |

| Schneider Home Smart Thermostat | $199.95 | Rs 19,015 |
What the Lineup Includes
The post lists seven products. Most are security-focused, such as the doorbell, floodlight camera, two plug-in cameras and a deadbolt lock, while the temperature sensor and the Schneider thermostat cover climate. In the post, most items are labelled with LG branding and the thermostat with Schneider, which indicates the collection is built with partner brands rather than made only by Apple.
The Rs prices in the post are conversions of US prices, so they do not include Indian taxes or import duty, and they are not an official Indian price list.
Why This Matters
Apple’s smart home push is built around its Home app and the Matter standard, so third-party accessories that work well with Apple devices are a growing category. A curated collection helps buyers pick products that are known to work with Apple Home. Read about the platform on HomeKit and the company on Apple Inc.. For more, see our Apple news.

- Whether the collection will launch in India and at what prices.
- The exact brand name on each product, as the post uses LG and Schneider labels.
- Which products need Apple hardware such as a Home hub or HomePod.

How This Compares With Other Smart Home Gear
Camera, doorbell and lock prices in the US often start near $200 for mainstream brands, so the prices in this list are in line with premium smart home products. Converted to rupees, a video doorbell at about Rs 23,770 and a floodlight camera at about Rs 38,040 would sit well above popular Indian options from brands that sell similar devices for a fraction of that price. That gap is one reason many readers will wonder whether an Indian launch makes sense.
Another factor is compatibility. Apple’s smart home features work best when you already use iPhones, iPads and a Home hub, and products that support the Matter standard can work across different ecosystems. If you are planning to buy smart home gear, check whether each item supports Matter, whether it needs a monthly subscription for video storage, and whether it runs locally or relies on the cloud.
What Indian Buyers Can Do Now
Since no India launch is confirmed, the best step is to wait for an official announcement and Indian pricing, which would include GST and import costs. Importing smart locks and cameras from abroad can lead to warranty and voltage problems, so it is usually not worth the risk. Meanwhile, you can browse existing Matter-compatible products sold in India if you want to start building a smart home today.
