LG ThinQ Devices integration for HomeAssistant

A HomeAssistant custom integration to monitor and control LG devices using ThinQ API based on WideQ project.

  • Air Conditioner
  • Air Purifier
  • Dehumidifier
  • Dishwasher
  • Dryer
  • Fan
  • Range
  • Refrigerator
  • Styler
  • Washer
  • Water Heater

Important: The component will not work if you have logged into the ThinQ application and registered your devices using a social network account (Google, or Amazon). In order to use the component you need to create a new independent LG account and make sure you log into the ThinQ app and associate your devices with it. If during configuration you receive the message No SmartThinQ devices found, probably your devices are still associated with the social network account. To solve the problem perform the following step:

  • remove your devices from the ThinQ app
  • logout from the app and login again with the independent LG account
  • reconnect the devices in the app

Important 2: If you receive an Invalid Credential error during component configuration/startup, check in the LG mobile app if is requested to accept new Term Of Service.

Note: some device status may not be correctly detected, this depends on the model. I’m working to map all possible status developing the component in a way to allow to configure model option in the simplest possible way and provide update using Pull Requests. I will provide a guide on how update this information.

You can install this component in two ways: via HACS or manually.

Option A: Installing via HACS

If you have HACS, just go in the Integration Tab and search the SmartThinQ LGE Sensors component and install it.

Option B: Manual installation (custom_component)

  • Clone the git master branch. git clone https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors.git
  • If missing, create a custom_components directory where your configuration.yaml file resides. This is usually in the config directory of homeassistant. mkdir ~/.homeassistant/custom_components
  • Copy the smartthinq_sensors directory within the custom_components directory of your homeassistant installation from step 2. cp.R ha-smartthinq-sensors/custom_components/smartthinq_sensors/ ~/.homeassistant/custom_components
  • (Optional) Delete the git repo. rm.R ha-smartthinq-sensors/ After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.

└──. └── configuration.yaml └── secrects.yaml └── custom_components └── smartthinq_sensors └── init.py └── config_flow.py └── const.py └──.

Once the component has been installed, you need to configure it using the web interface in order to make it work.

  • Go to Settings-Devices Services.
  • Hit shift-reload in your browser (this is important!).
  • Click Add Integration.
  • Search for SmartThinQ LGE Sensors
  • Select the integration and Follow setup workflow

Important: use your country and language code: SmartThinQ accounts are associated with a specific locale, so be sure to use the country and language you originally created your account with. Reference for valid code:

In this example, My [insert thing] will just be the placeholder

LG Air Conditioner Wi-Fi Password

As the weather gets warmer, many of us are starting to think about cooling our homes with an air conditioner. But not all air conditioners are created equal. Some air conditioners now come with Wi-Fi capabilities, which can be a great convenience.

But what is Wi-Fi and how do you use it? Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that allows devices to connect to the internet without being connected by wires. So instead of having to plug your air conditioner into a wall outlet, you can simply connect it to your home’s Wi-Fi network.

Once your air conditioner is connected to Wi-Fi, you can control it using your smartphone or tablet. This means you can turn on the AC before you even get home, so that your house is nice and cool when you arrive. You can also set timers and schedules, so that the AC turns off automatically when you don’t need it.

And if you have multiple air conditioners in your home, you can control them all from one app! Sounds pretty great, right? There are just a few things to keep in mind when using an AC with Wi-Fi:

Make sure your home’s Wi-Fi network is secure. The last thing you want is for someone else to be able to access and control your AC! Be sure to choose a strong password for your network and keep it confidential.

Keep your AC’s firmware up to date. Like any other device that’s connected to the internet, there’s always a risk of security vulnerabilities. Manufacturers regularly release updates for their products’ firmware (the software that runs on the device) which address these vulnerabilities.

So be sure to check for updates periodically and install them as soon as they’re available. Use caution when sharing access with others. If you give someone else access to your AC through the app (for example, if they’re housesitting while you’re away), be sure to remove their access once they no longer need it. Otherwise, they’ll continue to have control over your AC even after you’re back home! Wi-Fi enabled air conditioners can be a great convenience – just be sure to use them safely and securely!

LG Smart Refrigerators: Smart Features and How They Work

Like a normal refrigerator, a Smart fridge keeps your perishables cool and fresh. But these high-tech appliances have plenty more to offer. Smart refrigerators from major appliance manufacturers such as LG, Samsung and GE can provide recipes, store custom profiles for individual family members and deliver grocery lists right to your smartphone. Some models even feature clear door panels so you can peek inside without letting out the cold air.

Here, we take a look at how LG Smart refrigerators work and explore the features they offer.

What Is a ‘Smart’ Refrigerator?

Smart refrigerators are sometimes referred to as connected refrigerators because they connect to the internet through your home Wi-Fi and can usually be accessed through your smartphone or a digital home assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. A Smart fridge may also be able to connect with your home’s other Smart devices, including televisions, speakers and other Smart appliances such as dishwashers and microwaves.

These appliances are usually available in traditional styles, such as counter-depth, French-door and side-by-side. Smart fridges typically offer homeowners advanced features that can tell you if you’ve left the door open or if you’re out of bread. However, these features may come at a cost, as Smart refrigerators are generally much more expensive than a garden-variety model.

What Can You Do With an LG Smart Fridge?

If you’re looking for an appliance with advanced features, an LG Smart fridge may offer the functionality you want. LG’s line of Smart refrigerators is designed to streamline your household’s food storage and shopping routines while ensuring energy-efficient operation that’s backed by the Energy Star label. Most models let you control your appliance remotely via the LG ThinQ smartphone app or by directing simple voice commands through your digital home assistant.

LG’s ThinQ system uses AI and predictive analytics to recommend settings based on your usage and behaviors and offer helpful maintenance tips. ThinQ automatically regulates the fridge’s interior temperature and adjusts the speed of the ice maker to meet your household’s needs. It can also tell you if you’ve left your fridge door open and when it’s time to replace the water filter.

What Features Does an LG Smart Refrigerator Have?

LG’s ThinQ line of Smart refrigerators includes an array of advanced features, many of which are designed to interface with the brand’s ThinQ smartphone app. These features, which can vary depending on the model, may include:

  • Remote independent temperature control for fridge and freezer
  • Illuminated glass panels that offer a view into a door-in-door compartment
  • Customizable cooling levels, including designated door-cooling vents
  • Cubed, crushed or slow-melting ice options
  • Smart diagnosis
  • Smart Tag technology to track stored food and beverages, including expiration date alerts
  • A wide-angle panoramic camera for remote viewing of the interior via smartphone

Do LG Smart Fridges Have Screens?

Some LG models, such as the LG InstaView refrigerator, feature a touch-screen display that transforms into a transparent window, offering a peek inside the fridge. The transformation is initiated by knocking twice on the screen.

When the refrigerator is in display mode, the screen may feature information such as the date, time, temperature and weather. Users may also access recipes using stored ingredients, create shopping lists or use the Smart Tag system to view information on current food items.

Can You Connect an LG Smart Fridge to Your Phone?

LG refrigerators that use ThinQ technology offer convenient smartphone connectivity. Using the downloadable smartphone app, users can perform these interactions with their fridge:

  • Changing ice maker settings
  • Adjusting the temperature of the fridge or freezer
  • Viewing items inside the refrigerator through the panoramic camera
  • Accessing shopping lists generated on the refrigerator’s touch screen display
  • Receiving open-door and filter replacement alerts
  • Viewing Smart Tag information, such as products nearing their expiration date
  • Shock Hazard Sparks Recall of 25,000 National Presto Smokers
  • Broken Wrists Cited in Recall of 10,000 Log Splitters With Briggs Stratton Engines

LG Washer keeps dropping Wi-Fi connection, solved!

Frankie. 12 Dec 2020

After a dreadful experience with a Bosh dishwasher and a great with an LG Refrigerator, when it came to upgrade my clothes’ washer, I went with the LG F4DV910H2. The machine is a thorough cleaner, but there is a nasty bug that I suppose affects all washers in the F4DV series. Wi-Fi drops and will not reconnect.

After some trial and error I found that:

  • the network card overflows when there’s too much traffic on the LAN
  • on reboot, falls back to 192.168.1.80

Given this you have two options:

  • put the washer in a private VLAN
  • reserve the 192.168.1.80 IP to the washer on your DHCP server

Putting the machine on a separate VLAN is the most elegant solution. It will simply prevent the network card from overflowing (and rebooting) thus creating stability. If you simply reserve the 192.168.1.80 IP, it’s possible that the card will overflow/reset and not alert you when a cycle ends.

There has been debate LG forums, with very detailed explanations. Unfortunatelly, as of 2022, LG decomissioned the forum.

My home network would probably be on the busy end of the spectrum as I have more than 40 devices constantly on, but taking into account the foreseeable boom of IoT (internet of things; thermometers, appliances, lightbulbs, etc) and the expected lifetime of the machine, this is nasty bug.

I honestly hope LG gets their hands on it and fix it. If not, at least you know there’s a way out. I have had my machine running happily for over a month.

I call it the hermit washer.

April 2021; 6 months later, the machine keeps running without incident.

I’ve had two Archer C7 routers fail on me and decided to upgraded my Wi-Fi to the professional segment. To get excellent signal I need 3 access points and, in the past, I hooked up 3 routers. However, what we call a router is actually a router switcher access-point. My thought was, what if I just bought dedicated equipment?

Well, TP-Link has a professional offer that gives you just that. Specialized tools.

So what I needed was a switcher and 3 access points. I highly recommend the access points from the professional line. They were a breeze to set up and have been rock-solid. They also come with the possibility to add VLANs out-of-the-box, which is ideal in the scenario of this washer machine.

TL-SG2008P 1Gbps switch with 8-Port PoEIf I’m being honest, I have two of these, but most people will only need one. The switcher does one thing and one thing only. But what it does, It does great! Serves only as a way to interconnect the modemrouter that your ISP hooked to your house to everything else.

TP-Link EAP245 for indoors. I have one mounted on a wall and another on a ceiling. They are PoE which means you only have to hook them up to a single cable, saving a transformer. These have really made a difference.

TP-Link EAP225-OutdoorThis funny fella, that my 2 year-only nicknamed the rabbit, is hooked up with zip ties to a gutter. Survived the winter rains and covers both the garden and garage.

August 2021, 10 months later, it finally crashed!

There is definitely an overflow. The one thing we’re doing by isolating the machine on its own network is to delay the inevitable crash. I already suspected it, just didn’t know how long it would take before the Wi-Fi card buffer would run out.

After the machine stopped responding on Wi-Fi, I unplugged it. That was enough to get it back on.

I’ll keep you updated on this. If, on its own VLAN, the machine only overflows this sporadically, I’ll probably connect it to a TP-Link HS100 (they support 16A) and I already own several, and program it to power the washer down once a month.

October 2022, no crashes but a minor flood.

The washer has been solid for a while. I did get a minor flood, but no fault of the machine; pipes were clogged. LG service was spot on and very professional.

What saved me from damage was an early alert by these alarms (the WER ones). I’ve had one below the sink, one near the washer and one on each bathroom for the last two years. It was the first time they acted, but just paid themselves many times over!

Seamless Streaming: Fixing Wi-Fi Disconnects on LG TVs

A common LG Smart TV problem makes the TV disconnect from the network or loses its Wi-Fi connection at random times. Read on to find out what causes each of these issues and how to resolve them if you are experiencing one of them.

One of the top producers of electronics in the world, LG Electronics, has long provided customers with cutting-edge, award-winning goods.

To give customers the greatest experience possible, LG has incorporated cutting-edge technology into its products, which range from mobile devices to home entertainment goods, including televisions, audio, and appliances.

The first step to do if you experience an issue with your LG TV is to determine whether it’s a hardware or software problem.

There are a few quick fixes that can help you get back on track if your LG TV keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi. Let’s get to know what those are!

There are a variety of reasons why LG TV remains disconnected from Wi-Fi.

Common causes include weak signals, out-of-current firmware, inaccurate date and/or time, Wi-Fi connection-blocking features, and use of the 5GHz spectrum.

The following are some of the most frequent causes of Wi-Fi disconnections on LG TVs:

Your Wi-Fi signal is insufficient

One of the reasons why your LG TV may keep losing Wi-Fi connection is because the Wi-Fi signal is insufficient. This means that the Wi-Fi signal is not strong enough to maintain a consistent connection between your TV and router. This can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Distance: If your TV is located far away from your router, the Wi-Fi signal may not be strong enough to reach it.
  • Obstacles: Thick walls, furniture, and other obstacles can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal and cause it to weaken.
  • Interference: Other wireless devices, such as baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwaves, can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal and cause it to weaken.
  • Bandwidth: If there are too many devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, it can cause the bandwidth to become congested and slow down the Wi-Fi signal.

To address this issue, you can try moving your router closer to your TV, removing any obstacles between your TV and router, reducing the number of devices connected to your Wi-Fi network, and upgrading your internet plan with your service provider to increase your bandwidth. Additionally, you may want to consider using a Wi-Fi extender or booster to strengthen your Wi-Fi signal and improve connectivity.

The firmware on your LG TV is out of date

Another reason why your LG TV may keep losing Wi-Fi connection is because the firmware on your TV is out of date. Firmware is the software that runs on your TV, and outdated firmware can cause various issues, including connectivity problems.

To check if your LG TV’s firmware is up to date, go to the settings menu on your TV and look for a “software update” option. If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.

Installing the latest firmware update can help improve your TV’s performance, fix bugs and glitches, and address connectivity issues. It is recommended to regularly check for firmware updates and install them as soon as they become available to ensure the best possible experience with your LG TV.

Wrong Time/Date

It is unlikely that the wrong time or date on your LG TV is the cause of it losing Wi-Fi connection. However, incorrect date and time settings on your TV can cause other issues, such as preventing you from accessing certain apps or services that require accurate date and time information.

To set the correct time and date on your LG TV, go to the settings menu and look for an option to set the time and date. You may also be able to set the time and date automatically using the internet by enabling the “Auto Date/Time” option in the settings menu.

If your LG TV is still losing Wi-Fi connection despite having the correct time and date settings, it is more likely that the issue is related to your Wi-Fi signal strength, outdated firmware, or other connectivity problems as mentioned earlier.

smart, thinq, wi-fi, conditioner

You are using the 5GHz frequency

One possible reason why your LG TV keeps losing Wi-Fi connection is because you are using the 5GHz frequency. While 5GHz frequency can provide faster internet speeds compared to 2.4GHz frequency, it has a shorter range and is more prone to signal interference.

If your LG TV is located far away from your Wi-Fi router, or if there are obstacles such as walls and furniture in between them, the 5GHz frequency may not be able to reach your TV consistently, causing the Wi-Fi connection to drop.

To address this issue, you can try switching your LG TV to the 2.4GHz frequency, which can provide a more reliable connection over longer distances and through obstacles. You can do this by accessing your Wi-Fi router’s settings and changing the frequency Band to 2.4GHz. Alternatively, you can try moving your router closer to your TV or removing any obstacles that may be interfering with the signal.

You have enabled Wi-Fi-blocking features (Quickstart/Simplink Features)

Enabling Wi-Fi-blocking features such as Quickstart or Simplink on your LG TV can potentially cause issues with Wi-Fi connectivity.

Quickstart is a feature that allows your TV to turn on quickly by keeping certain components of the TV powered even when it is in standby mode. However, this can consume more power and potentially interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.

Simplink is a feature that allows you to control multiple devices connected to your TV using a single remote. This feature can sometimes interfere with the Wi-Fi signal and cause connectivity issues.

If you have enabled either of these features on your LG TV and are experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues, try disabling them to see if it resolves the problem. You can usually disable these features in the settings menu on your TV. Additionally, you may want to try resetting your TV to its default settings to clear any issues that may be causing Wi-Fi connectivity problems.

How to Troubleshoot LG TV Keeps Losing Wi-Fi Connection?

If your LG TV keeps losing Wi-Fi connection, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

Restart your router and TV

The initial step in troubleshooting your Wi-Fi connectivity issue is turning your TV and router on and off again.

This can be explained rather simply by the fact that devices lose effectiveness over time the longer they are hooked.

Debugging common errors and glitches can be done by unplugging devices from the power socket randomly. Not the Ethernet wires, but the power cords should be unplugged, it should be noted. The connectivity issue typically goes away on its own following a full shutdown.

Wait around 10 minutes after unplugging both devices before plugging them back in and turning them back on. Before connecting to Wi-Fi and making sure it is operational, let both devices finish booting.

Power cycling helps to refresh the network connection by clearing temporary cache and resetting network configurations, potentially resolving issues related to IP address conflicts or network congestion.

Permit complete access to the network

If your LG TV keeps losing the Wi-Fi connection, you may need to permit complete access to the network to ensure that it can connect and stay connected to the Wi-Fi network.

To do this, you can try the following steps:

  • Access your router’s settings menu and look for a section related to “access control” or “firewall settings.”
  • Look for any settings that may be blocking your TV’s access to the network, such as “MAC filtering” or “port blocking.”
  • If you find any such settings, either disable them or add your TV’s MAC address to the allowed list.
  • Make sure that your TV has the correct Wi-Fi network password saved and that it is connected to the correct network.

If the above steps do not work, you can also try resetting your router to its default settings and reconfiguring it from scratch. This can help to clear any network settings that may be interfering with your TV’s connectivity.

Remove USB

Put the Ethernet cable in place

You can always connect your TV to the router via an Ethernet connection rather than a wireless one. In this situation, the internet speed can be continuously raised.

You will need a second Ethernet cable, which will add to the number of cords in your house.

The following procedures will enable you to connect an Ethernet cable to your LG TV successfully:

  • Attach the Ethernet cable’s one end to the (Local Area Network). The LAN port of the Wi-Fi router connects the other end to the LAN port of your LG TV.
  • To enter the Home Menu, press the Smart button on your remote control.
  • Go to the Network option, then choose Network Connection after selecting the Settings option.
  • Tap Smart Connection.
  • To the wired network, your LG Smart TV ought to connect instantly.

Examine for updates

Like smartphones, LG software needs to be updated. A device that is out of date is more likely to be broken. You can boost network connectivity by updating your software. Keep an eye out for firmware updates that demand internet access.

You can do the following to check for automatic updates:

  • Choose All Settings under Settings on your remote.
  • After selecting General, go down to About This TV.
  • Choose Check For Updates, then proceed with the installation process.
  • Make sure the Enable Automatic Update option is turned on if no updates are required.

Mobile hotspot testing

You can test whether your TV can connect to a Wi-Fi signal other than your home network in the meantime if you have a smartphone with a reliable internet connection.

Then, check to see if your phone has three or more bars of signal. If it does, you are prepared to test your LG Smart TV.

All that’s left to do is link your Smart TV to your hotspot from here. There is nothing wrong with your television if you can connect without a hitch. If it doesn’t work, there can be a problem with the hardware or software of your TV.
