LG has unveiled the new ThinQ ON AI smart home hub featuring its Affectionate Intelligence technology that connects with a wide range of appliances and IoT devices.
According to LG, its new AI home hub seamlessly connects with a vast array of devices and is marketed as a personalized AI-powered smart home hub. It is powered by LG’s unique Affectionate Intelligence, making the ThinQ ON continuously learn from individual usage patterns and broader usage trends to tailor customers’ daily experiences. The company says this accelerates the vision of ThinQ ON Uses AI to Facilitate Natural Language Commands.
The compact and lightweight ThinQ ON, which was showcased at IFA 2024, comes in a cylindrical form factor and a muted color palette designed to blend into any environment. The device comes with an AI speaker that facilitates conversations with LG’s AI voice assistant. These AI features are driven by the company’s AI chipset, LG says.
This allows homeowners to use their voice to control appliances and living spaces with spoken commands in a natural, conversational manner. LG says this experience is like speaking with friends or family for more human interaction with their smart home.
The company says the AI home hub can also understand the context of conversations and determine user preferences for each connected appliance, IoT device and service. The ThinQ ON autonomously monitors all elements within the smart home ecosystem, informing users when a task like a washing machine cycle is completed.
The ThinQ ON hub also allows users to check or change “nearly all” appliance settings using voice commands, and they can configure routines and automation.
LG says ThinQ ON is Matter-certified and supports Wi-Fi and Thread, making it compatible with a wide range of LG devices and third-party devices from other manufacturers.
“An AI voice assistant and hub that serves as the center of the smart home, ThinQ ON brings us significantly closer to realizing our vision of the Zero Labor Home,” said Lyu Jae-Cheol, President, LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solution Company. “LG aims to make the ‘AI Home Lifestyle’ accessible to everyone, and will continue to deliver customized comfort, care, and convenience through its Affectionate Intelligence solutions.”
