Cupertino – October 21, 2026 -- Apple Home Collection, a new lineup of smart cameras, thermostats, temperature sensors, a video doorbell and a door lock, goes on sale starting in December, with select accessories following in early 2027. Apple designed the products with LG Electronics and Schneider Electric. Each one sets up with a single tap on an iPhone and runs entirely in the Apple Home app, with no separate app or account.

Four LG cameras store video in iCloud+ instead of a subscription

LG supplies a Video Doorbell, Floodlight Cam, Outdoor Cam and Indoor Cam. Every camera records up to 2.5K video and recognizes people, familiar faces, pets, vehicles and packages. Footage goes to the user's iCloud+ plan, so there is no separate camera subscription. Each camera keeps 10 days of event history, and a home hub such as HomePod, HomePod mini, Apple TV 4K or Apple HomeView is required.

Cupertino – October 21, 2026 -- Apple has introduced HomeView, a 7-inch Liquid Retina smart home display that recognizes up to six people by face. Pre-orders start today, and the device ships November 13.

Two designs: a tabletop model and a wall-mounted model

The tabletop HomeView pairs an aluminum-framed display with a domed speaker base through a stainless steel hinge that tilts the screen. It comes in silver, starlight, rose pink and space gray, each with a matching cable.

A separate wall-mounted model, available in space gray and silver, has the same display. It attaches with three purpose-built mounts from Schneider Home, and buyers can install it themselves or hire a professional.

Automatic brightness runs from 500 nits down to 0.3 nits for nightstand use. The interface shows simpler information from across the room and more detail as users step closer.

Atlanta – October 19, 2026 -- Students across the United States can apply for $3,000 scholarships to fund technical education and training, with an application deadline of Tuesday, Nov. 10.

Schneider Electric and SKILLED Nation, an organization that expands access to training for high-demand skilled careers, are adding $100,000 in scholarships to the Schneider Electric SKILLED Scholarship Program.

Scholarships cover training for building and energy careers

The program is now in its fourth year. Schneider Electric has put more than $300,000 into it so far. The money helps pay for postsecondary education and training in building automation, energy management, HVAC, electrical systems, facilities engineering and maintenance, green building and sustainability, security and related technical fields.
