Code in iOS 27.2 reportedly lists two Schneider products as "second-party" Apple Home accessories: a smart thermostat and a temperature and humidity sensor. Developer pdfu posted the findings on X, and 9to5Mac reported the leak. Neither Apple nor Schneider has announced the products, so the code does not confirm a partnership or a launch plan.
The names add Schneider to the companies linked to Apple’s rumored smart home expansion. Separate reporting has described a larger group of accessories developed with LG, but the Schneider clues are limited to two database entries.
The code names two products
The entries are called "Schneider Home Smart Thermostat" and "Schneider Electric Temperature/Humidity Sensor." According to the report, the thermostat is the only one with setup assets in the software. Those graphics are placeholders, and the setup configuration mentions "Proximity Settings." The code does not show what that setting would do or whether it would appear in a finished product.
The label "second-party" appears to distinguish these entries inside Apple’s Home accessory database. 9to5Mac says devices with that designation may receive special treatment from the operating system, but neither the code nor the report explains what that means for people using Apple Home. It does not confirm that Apple designed the products with Schneider, as it reportedly did with LG.
The report leaves basic product details open
There is no public design, price, release date, country list, or compatibility information for the Schneider entries. The names alone do not establish whether they refer to retail products, internal variants, or prototypes. The placeholder thermostat setup graphics also do not reveal how the hardware will look.
The names point to their apparent roles: one could regulate a home’s temperature, while the other measures temperature and humidity. The leak does not say whether they would work together.
The earlier Apple and LG accessory report described a lineup that reportedly includes cameras, a lock, a doorbell, a thermostat, and sensors. The Schneider code mentions only a thermostat and a temperature and humidity sensor. Apple’s rumored screen-equipped Home hub could provide a wider role for compatible accessories, but no connection between the hub and these Schneider entries has been confirmed.
For now, the iOS code is a sign that Apple may be preparing to support more partner accessories in Home. It does not show what Schneider will sell, when it might arrive, or whether the products will be available to consumers at all.
