With the maturity of the mobile Internet and Internet of Things technologies, the industry chain has become more and more perfect, and smart homes have once again become the focus of global manufacturing transformation and upgrading. International manufacturers Samsung and LG have brought new products and networking breakthroughs in the latest smart homes. Domestic manufacturers Lenovo and Haier have also demonstrated the characteristics of their own products.

In the era of Internet of Things, the intelligent connection of all household appliances constitutes a smart home environment, but in terms of the current development of home intelligence, it is far from the height expected by people.

In 2016, LG released the SmartThinQ Hub's Smart Home Automation Control Center at CES, which was unveiled with other products such as monitors and notebooks.

LG IoT appliances, like the desktop audio LG SmartThinQ Hub is actually a smart home control center, it can not only be used as a gateway for smart sensors and connected home appliances in the home, but also display schedule reminders; of course, it does have audio functions.

The LG SmartThinQ Hub works on the LG SmartThinQ platform, which monitors and controls home appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, ovens, robotic vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, and a variety of sensors. To put it simply, it is the chief conductor of home appliances, which conducts “conversation” with appliances through different protocols such as WiFi, Zigbee or Bluetooth.

In appearance, the LG SmartThinQ Hub is very similar to Amazon's voice control assistant Echo. LG said the new product will be positioned as a control center for sensors and connectable devices, and will also support online music streaming and built-in The display can also be used to display calendars and reminders.

In 2017, LG took another big step forward in smart home control. First, realize the internal Internet of home appliances; second, not only can achieve platform control, but also move toward human-computer interaction voice control.

And Alexa's integration means that users can navigate through voice. Its flagship device, Instaview, is the best example of this promise. This smart phone with a network connection supports Amazon Alexa and the camera, and integrates with other services.
