Homebridge LG ThinQ

Overview

A Homebridge plugin for controlling/monitoring LG ThinQ device via their ThinQ platform.

⚠️ This library works with v2 of the LG ThinQ API. But some v1 device may backward compatible, please check table Implementation Status below.

A plugin for interacting with the "LG ThinQ" system, which can control new LG smart device. API used in this plugin is not official, I reversed from their "LG ThinQ" mobile app.

Installation

npm i -g homebridge-lg-thinq

Configuration

✔️ I highly recommend using homebridge-config-ui-x to make these changes.

1. Navigate to the Plugins page in homebridge-config-ui-x.
2. Click the Settings button for the LG ThinQ plugin.
3. Login to your LG account
4. Add or remove which devices you want
