FCC filings reveal three upcoming LG smart home accessories co-developed with Apple, offering a glimpse into their designs and features. The first is a round, puck‑like thermostat (TMCTAW5W) with a 24‑V AC power supply, supporting 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, Thread, and a built‑in 60 GHz radar for presence detection. It includes a "Far Sight Display," humidity monitoring, and temperature calibration options. The second is a compact temperature sensor (TMST2A6W) powered by a 3‑V CR2477 coin cell, measuring temperature and humidity with magnetic mounting and replaceable battery alerts. The third is a smart deadbolt lock (TMCDD15G/S) that uses four AA batteries, Bluetooth, Thread, NFC, and ultra‑wideband (UWB) for proximity‑based automatic unlocking. Each device bears the Matter logo and follows Apple‑inspired design cues, signaling deeper integration between LG and Apple’s home ecosystem.
The thermostat’s radar and advanced display options suggest a focus on precise environmental control, while the sensor’s magnetic backing offers versatile placement. The deadbolt’s multi‑band connectivity and UWB positioning provide a seamless, secure entry experience. Together, these accessories indicate Apple’s expanding role in shaping next‑generation smart home hardware, leveraging LG’s manufacturing expertise to deliver cohesive, interoperable products under the broader Matter standard.
All three units feature Apple‑like minimalist aesthetics, with clean housings and intuitive setup via Matter QR codes. The collaboration underscores a strategic push to unify smart home experiences across platforms, delivering devices that blend functionality with sleek design.
