I can’t help think that Athom were doing work for LG, long before the acquisition had been done….
Yeah, you would think so
Also noticed by @ralfvd on Slack:
And for the Dutch Readers :
(With links to two small LG Matter Devices on the https://csa-iot.org/ site LG Smart Button (2 Button) and LG Door and Window Sensor)
and including speaker and “LG” AI, wow. That was indeed “fast”.
Now LG, literally, starts to listen
We don’t yet know how much the ThinQ ON will cost or when it will be available. We’ve contacted LG for more details and will be at IFA next week to see the new device in person.
Wonder if it’s still CM4 based and utilizing Athom ecosystem / apps etc.
This in Abe’s description looks more like a Bridge 2.0
(Maybe operates also standalone? )
but able to connect to Homey (Homey Pro) and provide Matter ++ AI ?
Who knows
I’ll have a look if we can touch upon the subject in the next episode of the podcast
Funny to see this. I was thinking exactly the same. Even said it in the Hdashboards discord yesterday.
Not sure why it says “1,000+ Hub apps” when @Doekse just said that only verified apps will be made available on the Thinq ON. I can’t imagine that there are more than 1000 of those
@robertklep I wonder what the specs are. I see they added Powerview to the apps on the wall. however Powerview is local LAN only.
Yeah I wonder
The app store has 935 apps in total
Including SDK2 ?
It’s the number of apps that I can get to load on the app store, so I assume that list also contains SDK2 apps. But even if they weren’t counted, the LG Homey won’t support them so it would be a bit, um, dishonest to count them anyway.
verifiedApps: 219
cloudApps: 159
localApps: 935
This also includes SDK2 apps
So should be then ~1000 apps*
(*specific rules might apply and the count might be changing over time)
Enough jokes - I meant - that number is simply wrong.
Yeah, and “localApps” also includes both “verifiedApps” and “cloudApps” (assuming that there aren’t any apps that are exclusively cloud).
You start to wonder if “more than 50,000 supported devices” isn’t true either…
It should be “~219 apps*”, because @Doekse said only verified apps will run on the LG Homey.
