Company Enhances Smart Home Connectivity With Open API
SEOUL, Dec. 17, 2024 — LG Electronics (LG) has fully opened the Application Programming Interface (API) of its smart home platform, LG ThinQ, enabling developers to easily create smart spaces with LG appliances.
Recently, LG launched the LG Smart Solution API Developer website (

Developers can utilize the open API to integrate various features from LG AI appliances into their programs or systems, enhancing their services. The LG ThinQ API is divided into two categories: the ThinQ API for individual users and the ThinQ Business API for corporate partners. The ThinQ API allows for remote control of LG devices installed in homes or buildings and facilitates integration with various platforms.
For individual users, the ThinQ API supports the control and monitoring of AI appliances registered in the LG ThinQ app from various smart home platforms. By utilizing the ThinQ API, anyone can easily create a customized smart home that fits their lifestyle. For example, users of the global smart home platform Home Assistant can now connect and control 26 types of LG AI appliances, including refrigerators and washing machines, within their existing smart home environment. Home Assistant is a community-based open platform with about one million users worldwide who collaboratively develop various smart home functions such as device automation and feature expansion.
For enterprises, the ThinQ Business API supports partners operating office or residential buildings in integrating and managing various LG products, from appliances to commercial equipment like HVAC and signage, with their existing apps. For instance, large residential buildings can integrate LG appliances with their existing management apps for more convenient use. Residents can reserve the use of LG washers and dryers in common areas through the building management app, or administrators can detect abnormal conditions in the building using LG’s temperature and humidity sensors and quickly respond to issues through alert functions.
Meanwhile, LG has accelerated the integration of external products and services into the LG ThinQ platform by acquiring the smart home platform company Athom, known for its extensive IoT device connectivity. Athom’s smart home hub Homey currently connects over 50,000 types of appliances and IoT devices, and the Athom app store features around 1,000 apps that connect and control products and services from global brands like Philips and Aqara. LG plans to integrate Athom’s extensive open ecosystem and IoT device connectivity into the AI home hub LG ThinQ On, aiming to realize an AI home where generative AI better understands customers and provides optimal space solutions.
“With the official launch of ThinQ AI, we aim to deepen engagement with open-source community smart home power users in the open-source community and broaden our collaboration with B2B partners. This initiative will bolster our efforts to create smart home ecosystems powered by LG appliances, enhancing customer experiences across multiple touchpoints,” said Kim Kun-woo, vice president of LG’s Home Appliance Solution Company.

Hello!
Newbie here!
I have an LG OLED65B7A. It works well enough connected via ethernet cable to my network.
I want to use my LG OLED65B7A as another monitor to my laptop.
I know this can be done using some kind of wireless technology, Miracast, etc.
But do I need to have my LG OLED65B7A connected to my WiFi to set this up?
However, my LG OLED65B7A will not connect to my WiFi even though the WiFi router is just 3 feet away !
I know the WiFi is good: I have several pc's and my cellphone connected.
There is a "SCREEN SHARE" (Miracast) option in the LG OLED65B7A, but when
I select it (using the LG's remote and pressing the input button) this message
pops up:
"The device cannot be connect to your TV.
Please try again. If the issue persists, please restart you TV or
check your device."
So I'm taking this to mean that my pc laptop cannot connect to my LG OLED65B7A ?
More: when I go to the full display of options in the OLED65B7A, and go down to Network,
it tells me the Wi-Fi Connection is "Not Connected. When I then go into the Wi-Fi
Connection, it tells me,
"Wi-Fi is turned off. Turn it on to see the list of available networks that you can
connect to and additional related menu items."
Again, I know the WiFi is good: I have several pc's and my cellphone connected
to it and they work perfectly.
I've tried manually entering the SSID of my WiFi: the OLED65B7A will not see it, & will not connect.
Any hints?
What am I missing?
I have previously used an HDMI cable from my laptop into an HDMI port
of the OLED65B7A and this works for me to use the TV as a giant monitor
for my pc laptop.
Must I disconnect the wired connection first to get the OLED65B7A connected to WiFi ?
Any suggestions much appreciated!
