Apple is expected to unveil a smart home device called HomeView at an event in Tribeca, New York, on October 13.

The device is also rumored to include an intercom function and could be part of a system with several units in one home.
Apple has announced an event called “Welcome Home,” but has not confirmed the product’s name or features.
