More “2nd-party” Apple Home devices leak.
Following the news that LG may be making devices for Apple’s smart home platform, leaker itspdfu spotted evidence that Schneider Electric is developing a smart thermostat and temperature sensor. Schneider has played a major role in developing the Matter standard and recently bought smart home device manufacturer Shelly — a move that suddenly makes more sense.
The leak suggests more 2nd-party products are coming, and they’ll differentiate from Matter-compatible products by adding extra features that make them easier to use in Apple Home, including NFC-based tap-to-pair without power and setup animations.
