IoT Air Quality Measurement Device and Home IoT Infrastructure at Newly Developed Junghung S-Class Apartment Complexes
Real-time Monitoring of Fine Dust and Harmful Substances in Residential Areas via Smartphone

LG Uplus has agreed with Junghung Construction to jointly promote home IoT platform infrastructure at new apartment complexes through a home IoT system construction agreement.

LG Uplus will begin with 576 units at "Sejong Junghung S-Class Centumview" supplied by Junghung Togeon in the Sejong residential area and 482 units at "Danggin Daeduk-sucheong District Junghung S-Class Parkhill" supplied by Junghung Construction in the Daeduk-sucheong District of Danggin, South Chungcheong Province, and plans to build home IoT platforms and install outdoor IoT air quality measurement devices at future newly developed Junghung S-Class apartment complexes.

The IoT air quality measurement device is equipped with a total of five sensors that detect fine dust, ultrafine dust, temperature, humidity, noise and harmful substances, along with a communication module. Measured values are transmitted to LG Uplus's IoT platform server and can be checked in real-time on customers' smartphones via the 'IoT@home' application and PC.

Residents can check the air condition around the apartment complex in real-time through IoT air quality measurement devices within the complex, and when linking with purchased IoT air purifiers and indoor IoT air quality alert devices, they can compare indoor and outdoor air conditions to receive notifications about ventilation timing and ventilation impossibility, and utilize total air quality care services such as air purifier operation.



The home IoT platform built within apartment units is an integrated system that allows residents to use existing home networks and LG Uplus's home IoT service through a single application. Through the smartphone app, residents can not only control built-in systems such as lighting, heating, and gas installed at move-in, but also integrate and control IoT home appliances from LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, and other manufacturers purchased individually.

LG Uplus's dedicated IoT app 'IoT@home' not only provides integrated control but also analyzes usage patterns of connected IoT appliances to recommend various device control scenarios such as commuting, weekends, and travel, inducing optimized appliance usage according to situations. Additionally, it provides convenience by automatically executing device operations during departure and arrival based on smartphone location information.

Meanwhile, as residents' interest in urban air pollution due to recent fine dust has increased, LG Uplus is building outdoor IoT air quality measurement devices at new apartment complexes developed by companies such as Hoban Construction and Hwaseong Industry to provide accurate atmospheric environment information.

Based on differentiated services such as customized wall pads tailored to construction companies, LG Uplus has signed business agreements with 58 construction partner companies—the most in the domestic market—and is rapidly expanding home IoT infrastructure in the housing construction market.

Ryu Chang-soo, Senior Executive in charge of IoT customers at LG Uplus, stated, "We will continue to supply home IoT platforms and air quality measurement devices to more apartment complexes in the future to enhance resident convenience."
