If you are a user of any LG smart appliance, be it a refrigerator, a washing machine or even an air conditioner, soon you won't even have to navigate through the LG Smart ThinQ app to manage all the operation of these devices. All you have to do is give a voice command for everything to start up. And it is that LG has decided to renew its application, which is now called only ThinQ, to improve the ways in which the user can interact with it.All this taking advantage of the advantages of Google's intelligent assistant.
For now the application will remain as we know it until next year And the changes will come gradually in the coming months. First in Korea, then in the United States, and then in parts in Europe. When the new update arrives, not only will we find an application that works as the nerve center of all the appliances connected by WiFi that we have at home, but it will also facilitate the user's tasks and doubts just by asking out loud.
The key lies in the Google Assistant and its voice recognition capabilities. In addition, according to LG, it seems that it will be in charge of collecting user requests to resolve their doubts. And it is that the idea is not only to be able to ask the LG smart washing machine to start washing with a simple voice command.This application will be able to do much more for users. For example, you may be asked what the yellow light on the refrigerator means in order to receive an answer. As if it were an interactive instruction manual. All this using the voice, with a more natural interaction than a written search, and with more agility than browsing through different menus of the application.
Of course, the application also solves doubts for the user about the status and operation of the linked household appliances. Ask for the time remaining in the washing machine program or adjust the air conditioning temperature is still present. And, again, these are questions that no longer only appear as buttons on ThinQ, but can also be asked or requested out loud. Whether from home, or miles away.So that everything is as we expect when we get home.
For now we will have to wait to have these functionalities operating in Spain. We will be able to see a preview of its operation at the next IFA technology fair in Berlin at the beginning of September, where the manufacturer will show the details.
