LG Expands Google Assistant Across its Smart Appliance Portfolio
87 Wi-Fi connected LG smart home appliances - including washing machines and dryers, refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers, vacuums, air purifiers and more - are now compatible with the Google Assistant on Google Home, eligible Android phones and iOS smartphones.
LG smart appliance owners can now have the Google Assistant help them around the house with their connected LG appliances, all hands free. For example, they can use simple voice commands on their phone or anywhere within range of the Assistant on Google Home to check the time remaining during wash cycles on their washing machine, tell their LG refrigerator to make more ice, turn off their range after cooking, adjust thermostat settings on their LG air conditioner and even check the air quality level in the home using their LG air purifier. The Assistant on Google Home can also distinguish one voice from another so it can be personal to each family member.
Setup is simple with the free LG SmartThinQ app, available for Android or iOS. With just one app, users will be able to control the entire lineup of LG smart appliances.
LG SmartThinQ learns more about a consumer's usage patterns and helps predict their needs. By using adaptive technology to interpret usage habits and data, LG smart appliance will know when to alert owners to order filter refills for the refrigerator or air purifier and it can troubleshoot lint build-up in the dryer - all through the LG SmartThinQ app.
