LG acquires Athom

I know because I’m the one responsible for managing these partnerships. :wink:

Firstly, as mentioned before, we won’t be selling any data. Period. Community Developers and Talks With Homey partners can rest assured that data that can possibly be collected via their Homey Apps will never be sold to third parties.

Furthermore, it’s entirely up to each brand to decide whether they want to continue their Talks With Homey partnership. So far, I’ve had only positive conversations, with partners expressing excitement about the merger. They are here to stay. We aim to remain a neutral party, providing a welcoming platform for every brand.

In my opinion, the smart home industry can only thrive when all brands collaborate instead of working in isolation. We’ve emphasized this point in our discussions with LG, and they fully agree.

LG also understands that Homey can only flourish if it supports a wide range of brands. If they wanted a platform exclusively for LG products, they wouldn’t have acquired us anyways.

Lastly, to help you relax, I highly recommend this video :pray:
