LG Electronics Launches 'SmartThinQ Hub 2.0,' AI That Converses with Users
Two IoT-connected devices that help manage indoor air were also unveiled.


Targeting the smart home market with smarter home IoT devices.

LG Electronics has launched the 'SmartThinQ Hub 2.0', as well as the 'Air Station' and 'Solar Cell Temperature & Humidity Sensor', which help manage indoor air.

The 'SmartThinQ Hub 2.0' (model name: AIHC71G) is equipped with artificial intelligence capable of conversing with users. This product is a version of the 'SmartThinQ Hub' introduced by LG Electronics last year that adds natural language processing capabilities through voice recognition. Using this, users can easily operate home appliances and view their status using only their voice. For example, if a user says, "Start washing," the washing machine starts immediately, and if they say, "When will the washing be finished?", it informs them, "20 minutes remaining." Users can also easily connect home appliances and home IoT devices to the 'SmartThinQ Hub 2.0' via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and other means.

Two home IoT devices, including the 'Air Station' (model name: AIAC71W) and the 'Solar Cell Temperature & Humidity Sensor' (model name: AITC71W), which enable effective management of indoor air quality, were also released. These products help maintain a comfortable indoor environment by monitoring indoor air conditions in real time and recommending product operation in conjunction with LG Electronics air conditioners, air purifiers, and other devices.

The 'Air Station' measures indoor air quality by being equipped with four sensors that detect fine dust, temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration, respectively. If the 'Air Station' determines that the indoor air is poor, it recommends that the user operate the air purifier in the living room via the 'Smart ThinQ' app. The 'Solar Cell Temperature and Humidity Sensor' is a product specialized in temperature and humidity management that suggests appropriate temperature and humidity levels for five basic situations.

The company stated, "It notifies the user via smartphone when indoor temperature and humidity fall outside the 'comfortable range.' It utilizes sunlight or indoor lighting as energy, so no separate batteries or power connection are required."

Prices based on ex-factory price are 399,000 won for SmartThinQ Hub 2.0, 280,000 won for Air Station, and 59,000 won for Solar Temperature & Humidity Sensor.
