I’m just getting started with Home Asisstant and it’s really cool . But after adding some sensors to Home Assistant I was adding other devices in my home to Home Assistant and I was missing LG integration for my vacuum cleaner (LG VR9647PS). I can access it using the SmartThinq app, but it would be cool to access it from Home Assistant.
Any news on this? Bought a new fridge from LG and was surprised when it had wifi and could be controlled and supervised using an app. Would love to implement this in HASS. LG:s Smart ThinkQ software seems to be open source.
I believe that a API key is required to use their API. I requested a key, explaining i would like to integrate smart thinq into home assistant, but got a reply that said “Thank you for applying for the partnership. However, we are sorry to say that we cannot pursue this partnership due to the differences in our perspectives”
I guess they won’t let anyone into their partner program unless they directly can make profit.
At least I won’t be buying any more LG appliances…
I won’t be buying LG appliances either unless the communication from LG servers to appliances can be reverse-engineered using a packet sniffer such as tcpflow or tcpdump…
Pardon me for being negative, but all I want is to be able to control my devices locally. I do bet in the fact that Internet is an unreliable infrastructure. We get Internet outages in our rural town in northern Florida (west of Tallahassee and east of Pensacola, FL).
