Before I begin, please note that I’m Korean and the ThinQ PLAY and ThinQ ON interfaces shown to me are in Korean. I apologize that the screenshots are therefore also in Korean. This post was translated into English with the assistance of AI. After connecting my ThinQ ON to Homey, I started setting …

Being a Dutch company or at least a Netherlands based operation of LG they have to comply with the european General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)! I am pretty sure you can grill them big time if you like to. At least you have under GDPR the right to force them to exactly tell you, what data th…

Thank you. That is precisely why I have already contacted both Athom and LG and asked them to explain what personal data relating to me was shared, how it was shared, for what purpose and on what legal basis, and why I was not informed in advance. I am currently waiting for their responses. I do no…

Update: Since I did not receive a response to the inquiry I submitted through the LG ThinQ app, I contacted LG Electronics Korea by phone yesterday and raised the same issue again.

Update: LG has sent an interim reply I got an interim reply from LG about the questions I raised earlier. I had asked LG to confirm six things: The contractual and copyright basis for the distribution, plus the name, version and clause of the relevant terms When and how my consent as a developer…

What really bothers me personally about all of this is that when Atom was acquired by LG, this discussion had already come up once before. Back then, however, Atom solemnly promised us that no community knowledge or development would be diverted toward LQ. And that is exactly what has happened now. …

I agree with your point. I was also upset about the issues you mentioned, which is exactly why I raised this concern in the first place. [image] ChrisG: They can’t read those ‘weird’ characters anyway, so let’s just do it. However, even if you did not mean it in a derogatory way, as a Korean…

[image] ChrisG: I don’t want to see any of my apps on a platform other than Athom/Homey. Too late, I guess [Screenshot_20260901_120946_LG ThinQ] Add device → Other brands in the ThinQ app. You can see for yourself, download the ThinQ app from the Playstore and there you can see it in the “…

[image] dohun0310: I found your reference to the Korean language as “weird characters” quite offensive. I didn’t mean to be dismissive, but as a “regular” European, you just don’t learn the Korean writing system in school. Or can you, for example, read Egyptian hieroglyphs?
