LG’s strategy for the future: advanced smart home devices

• Learn what smart home devices are.
• Discover how LG is innovating accessible and smart home devices.
• Explore LG's top-rated smart appliances.
• Dive into the advanced technologies behind LG’s smart home solutions.

Smart home technology continues to evolve, offering new ways for people to interact with the appliances and systems in their homes. From connected devices to integrated platforms, the modern home is becoming more intelligent and responsive.

LG’s ThinQ™ integrated home solutions use NFC Tag, Bluetooth and wi-fi connectivity for smarter home management and accessible living.

By joining the Board of Directors of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA)³, LG is working to advance smart home solutions, enhance connectivity and improve energy management in consumer homes.

LG home smart devices and appliances carry the A grade* (according to EU energy grade A to G). The energy label was revised in 2021⁴ and encourages innovations in power efficiency. Updated labels also include QR codes to help consumers make informed choices about LG products, like:

LG's Core Tech technologies in refrigerators include LinearCooling™, which minimises temperature fluctuations to keep food fresh for up to 7 days (maintains temps within +0.5℃ over time by circulating cold air) while enhancing energy efficiency. LG’s washing machines' design core, performance-defining innovation lies in technologies such as Inverter DirectDrive™.⁸

LG demonstrated new technologies for smart TVs at CES 2024.⁹ The WebOS Experience zone featured LG’s first LG OLED M4 4K 144Hz wireless TV, powered by Alpha 11, a totally unique processor which is dedicated to OLED.¹⁰ This innovative TV also incorporates an energy-saving mode that minimises power consumption by adjusting brightness, contrast and backlight intensity.¹¹

At IFA 2023, LG also unveiled its Home Energy Platform, integrating the Energy Storage System (ESS) and Therma V™ R290 Monobloc air-to-water heat pump (AWHP).¹² These solutions integrate with LG ThinQ Energy, allowing users to monitor energy use, manage HVAC systems, and control appliances remotely, while Energy Saving Mode helps optimise efficiency.¹²

A: LG is transforming the smart home industry with appliances that use reduced energy. Cutting-edge technologies, such as the Inverter Linear Compressor and AI Direct Drive motor, greatly lower energy use while improving functionality. LG is leveraging innovative technologies to cut carbon emissions by 20%, aiming to reduce emissions from its global production sites from nearly 2 million tons in 2017 to 960,000 tons by 2030.^13,14

A: LG ComfortKits apply universal design to make home appliances easier to use for all customers, regardless of their gender, age, or disability status, by integrating smart home technology into everyday appliances. Features include Style Easy Hanger, Rotate Shelf Kit, and easy handles for various appliances, offering convenience for all users.¹⁵

LG is committed to revolutionising smart home devices with advanced power management and assistive technologies. By integrating these technologies into their homes, consumers can enjoy a smarter lifestyle.
