I have to share here what else have I found. I found a work around for this stale mate.
TL:DR - This isn’t perfect and Homekit controler seems to have trouble exposing all the HVAC machines Homebridges is connected to.
I actually use Homebridge as a translator for multiple things so they show up at my Homekit app on my Apple iPhone. I then share this things in the simplified interface with my family iPhones. This allows me to use Siri, which I considerer a better interperter for my voice commands. (My experience with Google Android didn’t went that well. End of subject)
Go to Supervisor and install Portainer add on. Make sure you disable protection mode for this add on and wait for it to start.
Go to your Homeassistant internal URL at the port 8581 (http://myinternalhomeassistant:8571/). Enter user admin and password admin (Change this later).
At the top bar, choose the Plugin menu.
Search for homebridge-lg-thinq-ac at the plugin management page. This is a Homebrigde plugin to connect ia LG Thinq V2.
Follow the instructions for homebridge-lg-thinq-ac, entering the country code and language configuration in the plugin configuration. Ignore the URL fields by now. You need to restart Homebridge for them to show the correct information (I know. this seems dumb)
Restart Homebridge.
Go back to the homebridge-lg-thinq-ac plugin at Homebridge and get the URL to authenticate over at LG Api v2. Wait for the redirect and get the authentication URL.
Go back to the homebridge-lg-thinq-ac plugin at Homebridge and paste the URL. (Yes! You need to restart Homebidge AGAIN!)
(By now you guessed what comes next) Add Homekit controler to your Home-assistant integrations.
Add the Homebridge hub to the Homekit controller… et voilá. You have it.
But not yet! Unfortunately, even if this works great for my iPhone if I pair the Homebridge with my Homekit app, the Homekit controler seems to have trouble exposing my multiple HVAC internal machines or get commands correctly sent to LG API thing.
Any way, the all thing works great in the iPhone with HomeKit app.
So I’ve worked through the Readme on Samsyo’s Github and it all seemed to install ok, but when I try to input the information into Configuration.yaml and reboot I get an “Component error: smartthinq_sensor - Integration ‘smartthinq’ not found.” error.
Below is the entry I added to configuration.yaml
#Smartthinq
smartthinq:
token: [redacted]
region: ca
language: en-us
Also posting in here in case someone can help:
This fork of the component works for v2 devices:
Is based on both @no2chem (hass-smarthinq v2) component @ollo69 (wideq v2) library versions
HOWEVER: If you have mixed v1 and v2 devices it might break you setup. I installed this fork and tried to keep the original component but seems that there is only one wideq version possible so there are issues in one or the other.
If somebody knows how to keep both wideq versions to co-exist so we can use both components at the same time please let me know!
Boiiiiiii!!! This works, finally after months I can see my LG aircon in home assistant.
It’s still not 100% because I cant get current temp and stuff but I can adjust temp and change modes.
So now my LG HVAC on api2 is finally working, does anyone know how we might get my zone motors to open/close via the api as well? I can control which rooms are open/closed from the LG app just in the “Zone” section.
Was just planning to put sensors in certain rooms and perhaps control the flow a bit
I see many query on eic.lgthinq.com, several per minutes (every 30 seconds?), on my pihole logs. Is it normal? Can’t it be lowered to something to one ping each each 5 minutes? Or only when one of the appliance is active?
My old washer dryer finally died () which means I can now justify a smart replacement lol. Had a LG FWV685WSE washer dryer delivered, installed ollo69’s component from HACs according to instructions and everything worked first time. Thanks to everyone involved!
For installation I have choosen Option B: Manually installation (custom_component), because I couldn’t find SmartThinQ LGE Sensors in the Integration tab. After that I rebooted HA. For the configuration I want to use the Option A: Configuration using the web UI [recommended]. But again, I can not add SmartThinQ LGE Sensors as a new integration. What I am doing wrong?
Hi @samps and @wkd8176, would it be possible for you guys to add Jet Mode, Energy Control and Air Purifier to this codes of yours? I would like to volunteer if needed as Alpha tester. Thanks! More power to you guys!
I have two of the new LG thinQ Ceiling Fans, was hoping to integrate them with my Home Assistant.
i managed to install and configure https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors
It seems like there’s no support for the Fan device type. What is the best way to try and get this device type added ?
i get this message in my logs:

Add fan should not be really complicated.
Please open an issue in integration repository as feature request add attach the fan JSON device information.
First of all install new version that I just released today, I have added device type 405 so that is not unknown any more.
After reboot open the HA logs, you should find a web link to download JSON info. You should have a couple of lines like this:
This workaround works.
