LG released its first dedicated smart home center ThinQ ON on the eve of the IFA 2024 technology show. This product was unveiled at CES. ThinQ ON is a small, round white hub that integrates smart speaker functions and LG's AI voice assistant, and can control LG appliances and other smart home devices through Matter, Thread and Wi-Fi connections. It supports multiple network connection methods and is compatible with an increasing number of LG devices and smart home devices from other manufacturers. It aims to build a more powerful smart home ecosystem and provide users with a more convenient and intelligent home experience. The device's Matter certification also improves security and privacy.
ThinQ ON uses advanced artificial intelligence technology to control LG home appliances and other smart home devices through connection methods such as Matter, Thread and Wi-Fi. This means that users can monitor the usage of devices at home through LG's ThinQ smart home platform and make adjustments according to personal habits. LG's AI assistant can not only understand natural language, but also parse context and learn user preferences, making home life more intelligent.
The biggest highlight of this smart home center is its Matter certification. LG says that ThinQ ON supports multiple network connection methods and is compatible with an increasing number of LG devices and smart home devices from other manufacturers. This allows ThinQ ON to collaborate with various smart devices to enhance the user experience.
Matter is a new smart home interoperability standard designed to provide a unified communication language for a variety of smart devices. Through Matter, users can communicate locally at home without relying on cloud services, which not only improves security and privacy, but also simplifies the device setup process. Matter's developers include well-known companies such as Apple, Amazon, Google and Samsung, and it already supports more than 30 device types, including lighting, thermostats, smart locks, robot vacuum cleaners, etc.
LG’s launch of ThinQ ON also marks an important progress in the smart home field. LG hopes that through this hub, it can not only integrate its own devices, but also connect with other brands of smart home products to form a more complete smart home ecosystem.
However, the price and launch time of ThinQ ON have not yet been announced, and LG said it will provide more details at the IFA show. By then, everyone can also personally experience the functions and design of this new product.
