Company Enhances Smart Home Connectivity With Open API
SEOUL, Dec. 17, 2024 â 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 LGâs 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. Athomâs 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 Athomâs 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.
âWith 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,â said Kim Kun-woo, vice president of LGâs Home Appliance Solution Company.

Samsung has made fridges with touchscreens before. LG has made fridges with doors that turn transparent to show you the inside. This year at CES 2018, those two ideas are finally merging into one with LGâs new InstaView ThinQ smart refrigerator, which features a 29-inch touchscreen that becomes transparent if users knock on it twice.
LGÂ actually tried this two years ago, with a version called the Smart InstaView Door-in-Door that ran a full version of Windows 10, but itâs not clear that the company ever shipped the Windows version.
This version uses the touchscreen to manage your food using LGâs webOS software and Amazonâs Alexa, which will let you tag food with virtual stickers and expiration dates and get automatic reminders when things are running low or about to go bad. Thereâs also a wide-angle panoramic camera on the inside of the fridge that will let you remotely view your fridge while youâre out and about to check and see if youâre actually out of milk or not.
Unfortunately, the only image that LG has shared showing the fridge is a low-resolution shot on its YouTube page banner, but it seems that youâll be able to still use the screen while itâs translucent, allowing you to tag food directly in a vaguely augmented reality-esque move.
LG is also touting how all of its ThinQ kitchen gadgets can talk to each other to make kitchen tasks easier. So your ThinQ fridge can talk to your EasyClean oven, which will help you cook food through step-by-step instructions from the recipe app from your fridge. Then, your EasyClean oven can notify your QuadWash dishwasher about the kind of meal you cooked, so it can more efficiently select a wash cycle for that dish. Of course, all this requires spending thousands of dollars replacing every appliance in your kitchen (and if this all works as well as LG claims it does), but itâs still an intriguing vision of a Jetsons-like future utopia.
No price or release date for the InstaView ThinQ refrigerator or any of LGâs other new appliances have yet been announced.

It is unprofessional on part of LG TV that they do not resolve the basic issue of adding app gCmob in their app store.
My 50UT80506LA LG WebOs TV does not support my office security camera system via wifi to TV. Â We need (gCmob app) in list of app.
I can't connect my office camera via Wi-Fi to LG-TV. No body in LG TV technical team is proactive in resolving the issue of customer. They are more happy to befool the customers, rather than looking for technical solution through wider thinking.
Please talk to you top management and make a visit to our office to understand the customers plight..
Please respond to customers needs.

I am lifetime LG CUSTOMER.
I have a fridge, air conditioned etc. all with THINQ can be accessed remotely (WAN ACCESS)
Some years ago I purchased 65UM7100PLA but this device is accesible only in LAN/WLAN via THINQ
I though this is because old WEBOS version, but I have purchased a new 32LQ63006A with WEBOS22 and I am not able to acces the TV via WAN. It,s the same. THINQ works only in LAN, at home
I question if there is any way to remotely (WAN) access to my TV,s???
This can be for security reasons (turn on /off away home etc.
If fridge, air conditioned can be accesible by WAN whyy tv not????

Question
Raato
LG TV 50UM7600PLB and language settings Finnish đ«đź
I have a big button on the remote control that I sometimes accidentally press.Â
I understand that I can use it to command TV. But what commands can I give and  where can I find the command list? When I press the button, the TV will say "Puhu nyt" (Speak now).  Then I say "Sulje TV" (turn off the TV) and TV repeats "Sulje TV"  but TV searches the command from Youtube?! Is the Thinq AI only for searching entertainmentt online or do the TV commands (something like more sound, switch to channel 5  etc) work in English only?Â
I don't see any sense here.
