Can I use my product nicknames to control LG appliances with Amazon Alexa?

Yes. If you have named air conditioner “Living Room AC” in LG ThinQ App, say “Alexa, ask LG to turn on Living Room AC” to Alexa. Make sure that you set up product nickname with the space where it is located, such as Bedroom Purifier and Hallway Dryer so that it can be easily memorized and called.

For TV, you can set nickname when you register TV from the Set Up TV for Amazon Alexa app on your TV. You can register multiple TVs with the same LG account, but each TV should have a different nickname.

Some features of LG ThinQ are not supported by voice control. For example, you cannot turn a range on with a voice command.
What does "Sorry, that device is either not registered or is not compatible with LG ThinQ" mean?

Your product is not supported by LG ThinQ or is not registered in the app.
What does Sorry, I can’t find the right product. Please launch LG ThinQ app and check your device list and product nickname. Or, if you are looking for a TV, check the app on your TV called Set Up TV for Amazon Alexa and try again." mean?

Alexa is not able to understand product nickname or device type. Check if your product nickname is appropriate for voice assistant service.
