LG Electronics is a South Korean maker of home appliances and TVs. Its connected refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, air conditioners, air purifiers, robot vacuums and TVs are set up and controlled through the LG ThinQ app, with an optional ThinQ ON hub.
LG appliances connect over Wi-Fi to LG's ThinQ cloud, and the ThinQ app is the main way to control them. No hub is required. LG also sells ThinQ ON, a Matter-certified hub with Wi-Fi and Thread, and has opened a ThinQ API that Home Assistant and Homey use. Every integration we found goes through LG's cloud rather than a local connection.
That suits owners who want remote control and status alerts for LG appliances, with Google Home, Alexa, Home Assistant or Homey as add-ons. It is weaker for anyone who wants Matter on the appliances themselves, because we found no confirmation that LG appliances are Matter devices, or who wants Apple Home, where LG's own pages do not document support.

The main app for LG's connected appliances and TVs. It handles remote control, Smart Routines, energy monitoring, Smart Diagnosis, service booking and an AI assistant called Chat with LG. LG says feature availability depends on the model and country. Appliances without Wi-Fi can be registered by scanning a QR code. The iPhone listing is published by LG Electronics, needs iOS 18.0 or later, and lists Siri and HomeKit. A third-party app-data site gives the Android package as com.lgeha.nuts and reports about 139 million downloads. We could not load the Google Play page itself to confirm either detail. LG's ThinQ account is separate from an LG.com account.

What it means
Sources
Connection
Wi-Fi
Yes
LG's Alexa setup page tells owners to place the appliance near the router and to avoid 5 GHz networks, which it says may not be supported. The App Store listing says appliances without Wi-Fi can be registered by QR code, so they get ThinQ features only in a limited form.
None of these are mentioned in LG's ThinQ ON announcement or on the LG pages we read, so we could not confirm support. The ThinQ ON coverage names Wi-Fi and Thread only.
ThinQ ON is described as Matter-certified, but the announcement does not say whether it acts as a Matter controller or bridge. A Google developer case study says local Matter control currently works over Wi-Fi on select LG TVs, and that Matter and Google Home APIs for the ThinQ app were still coming soon. We found no page confirming that LG appliances are Matter devices.
LG's US support page lists washers, dryers, refrigerators, air conditioners, robot vacuums, air purifiers, ranges and ovens, dishwashers, a Styler model and TVs. Direct control is added in the Google Home app by choosing LG ThinQ under Home Control, using the same login as the ThinQ app. TVs are conversation-only and need webOS 4.0 or later.
LG publishes two Alexa skills. The Basic skill covers air conditioners, air purifiers, robot cleaners and webOS 4.0 TVs. The Complete skill adds washers, dryers, refrigerators, ranges and dishwashers. Only listed ThinQ-logo models work, and LG says some features, such as turning on a range, cannot be voice controlled.
The ThinQ iPhone listing shows HomeKit among its permissions and for adding IoT-based products, and mentions Siri. It does not say which LG appliances are supported. A Homey forum thread describes a Homey Siri integration as experimental and has no official LG statement. We could not confirm Apple Home support for appliances.
Search results listed community forum threads about linking LG fridges and washer-dryers into SmartThings, but we did not open them and found no LG page documenting a SmartThings link.

LG ThinQ ON hub
Official
LG's own AI home hub with a built-in speaker and LG voice assistant. LG says it works with a growing number of third-party appliances and IoT devices and gives no list. Tom's Guide says the coverage does not name Alexa, Google, Apple or SmartThings integrations.
A built-in LG ThinQ integration works through LG's cloud (IoT class Cloud Push) and needs a personal access token from an LG ThinQ account with six scopes, plus the right country. It covers air conditioners, air purifiers, dishwashers, dryers, ovens, refrigerators, robot vacuums, washers, water heaters and more. Legacy models are polled every 5 minutes, and many properties are read-only. It is maintained by the Home Assistant project, not by LG. An older community add-on, ha-smartthinq-sensors, existed before LG opened its API.
Homey's own news page calls LG ThinQ an official integration for Homey Cloud (Free and Premium) and the Homey Pro family. It covers washers, dryers, air conditioners and robot vacuums, and devices must first be set up in the ThinQ app. The page does not mention Homey Bridge. LG announced in 2024 that it had acquired Athom, the company behind Homey. A secondary report says LG took 80 percent, which we could not confirm on LG's own page.
An LG ThinQ binding is listed in openHAB's add-on docs. It needs an LG account added as a cloud-account bridge and covers air conditioners, heat pumps, washers, dryers, towers, refrigerators and dishwashers. It names no local mode. The page does not name a maintainer, and the vendor is not described as maintaining it.

LG ThinQ Connect API
Official
LG opened its ThinQ API in late 2024. ThinQ Connect is a cloud REST interface for partners running their own IoT services, and it needs a partnership agreement with LG and service certification. Individual users can create a personal access token at connect-pat.lgthinq.com with a ThinQ account. A business API adds a demand-response interface limited to air conditioners and TVs. The API is cloud based and no local API was found.
Checked 11 November 2026 against the brand's own pages, app store listings and each project's own page. “Not found” means we searched and found nothing, not that it is impossible. Compatibility changes often. Spot an error? Tell us and we will fix it.
