LG ADVANCES SMART HOME ECOSYSTEM\u00a0WITH SMARTTHINQ\u2122 HUB AT CES 2016<\/h2>\n

New LG Smart Hub Sends Notifications from Appliances and\u00a0<\/em>Sensors, Displays Schedule Reminders and Streams Music<\/em><\/p>\n

SEOUL, December 30, 201<\/strong>5<\/strong> \u2014 LG Electronics(LG) willunveil its newest addition to its IoT ecosystem, SmartThinQ\u2122 Hub, at CES 2016. LG SmartThinQ Hub serves as a gateway to smart sensors and connected appliances in the home but is more than that, with the ability to display reminders from personal calendars and stream music from its built-in speaker. The elegantly designed SmartThinQ Hub includes a 3.5-inch color LCD display and connects to a smartphone app to facilitate two way communication with smart appliances and smart sensors in the home.<\/p>\n

The SmartThinQ Hub expands LG\u2019s SmartThinQ platform to monitor and control home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, ovens, robotic vacuum cleaners, air conditioners and a variety of sensors. The SmartThinQ Hub plays a central role in LG\u2019s smart home platform by collecting information from smart appliances as well as conventional devices connected to SmartThinQ sensors via Wi-Fi, Zigbee and Bluetooth. Data is displayed in the form of notifications on the LCD screen or announced through its embedded speaker, acting as the central \u201chub\u201d of the smart home.<\/p>\n

As like all other LG home appliances and consumer products, the LG SmartThinQ Hub is designed to look great in the home. The unit features a metallic body in two attractive color schemes: Champagne Gold and Black. The LCD display is tilted at an angle to be easily readable and the high-quality speaker can stream music from thousands of free stations from iHeartRadio or play whatever is on a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

The SmartThinQ Hub is compatible with a number of devices from other manufacturers and service providers that support the AllJoyn\u00ae<\/sup> Alliance open source framework. LG recently formed a partnership with Lowe\u2019s, the world\u2019s second-largest hardware retail chain, to integrate LG\u2019s smart devices with Lowe\u2019s Iris smart home services. LG\u2019s partnerships with other service providers are a key advantage of LG\u2019s smart home system, which prioritizes compatibility across multiple brands. Such partnerships allow LG to offer packaged bundles that enhance safety, energy savings, air care or convenience that might include a SmartThinQ Hub, a SmartThinQ sensor and a variety of smart appliances and devices from other manufacturers such as smart lighting, motion sensors and moisture detecting sensors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe LG SmartThinQ Hub is just another example of the open approach we believe is the future of the smart home,\u201d said Jo Seong-jin, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. \u201cOpenness and strong partnerships with industry leaders is what will make smart home technology more accessible and more convenient to consumers. And at the end of the day, that is what our smart home strategy is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n

The LG SmartThingQ Hub, SmartThingQ sensor and other intelligent products from LG will be on display at Central Hall Booth #8204 of the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 6-9. For more information about LG products at CES, please visit www.LGnewsroom.com\/ces2016.<\/p>\n
