@robertklep I think it should be 159. Because if this Hub is the same as Homey bridge, it only can do cloud apps 😛 ---

Does Shelly have such a strong presence in South-Korea? 😛 And when can we expect the Shelly app’s Korean internationalisation? 😉 ---

Seems we got the picture wrong, the presentation on the wall is about Homey Pro, it’s not about LG ThinQ ON AI - that was another presentation, shortly shown on the video… ![LGHomeyPro](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/a/aaced60762bac3d47445a1df08ce28cc41c3e147.jpeg) ---

Called _Homey G_ from now on 😛 ---

Yeah, remember when a 512MB _Homey_ suddenly was called Homey Pro? They call every device just Homey Pro 🤣 ---

Fair point. Both Shelly and DoorBird aren’t I guess. Makes you wonder which official apps are actually interesting for the Korean market … 🤔 ---

That’s why I don’t think it’s going to be a Korean-market-only device 😉 It might get an initial release in Korea only, but it doesn’t make sense to me to limit it to that market. ---

> [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > Homey bridge, only with Matter+Wifi, in a white box with some LG gadgets on top. This is brand-new, powerful hardware that can run parts of the AI directly on the device itself. In addition to supporting Matter, Thread, and Wi-Fi, it also includes Zigbee 😉 > [@robertklep](#): > > it doesn’t make sense to me to limit it to that market. They’re likely to start competing with us in markets beyond Korea. In the EU, for example, people associate Homey with smart homes, whereas ThinQ is just ‘_the app that came with my washing machine._’ The situation is entirely different in Korea. ---

If LG were to launch their ThinQ On hub in the Netherlands, for example, they would become a competitor to us, Homey. ---

I guess I misunderstood the news about LG **acquiring** Athom. I would think there’s no “they”, just “us” 😛 [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/lg-thinq-on-ai-home-hub-a-familiar-looking-device/115164.md?page=1) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/lg-thinq-on-ai-home-hub-a-familiar-looking-device/115164.md?page=3)
