Apple will open preorders for some of its new smart home collection tomorrow.

Apple spokesperson Emily Ewing told The Verge that preorders will launch for “select” accessories in the Apple Home Collection — which includes security cameras, thermostats, a video doorbell, and a door lock — but didn’t specify which ones. Availability begins in December, however, which is when Apple previously said it would launch the LG deadbolt lock and both thermostats.
