LG acquires Athom

Not using Athom myself, but I stumbled on this PR

Boooo. I need to buy a bunch I. Guess before they wreck it.

I love their tasmota enabled plugs for au/nz

They acquired Athom, the Dutch company that makes the Homey

They did not acquire Athom Technology Co, the Chinese company that sells Tuya stuff flashed with Tasmota or ESPHome.

Aaahh thanks for the clarification!
I was confused as well

Good that HA is now property of a foundation. If you have a homey, bye-bye privacy

LG also hasn’t clarified how Homey’s connectivity and integrations will be embedded into its products but notes that the deal will allow it to “gain deeper insights into customers’ lifestyle and usage patterns” — which may not mesh well with Homey’s “privacy first” ethos.
