However if you go this path, i believe you can ONLY control your system with the LG App (update: it seems this might have changed now, ive yet to investigate though - see )… which if you are anything like me rubs me the wrong way, we of course wish to integrate with home-assistant directly so we don’t need to manage all those bespoke apps, one per vendor/device. Ive attached a screenshot of the LG dry contact units, highlighting the ones relevant to us.ģ/ get the LG wifi dongle (part: PWFMDD201).

I have a bunch of docs the LG tech has sent that i need to spend some time understanding, if anyone wants to help me let me know! The LG tech has strongly advised this is the best and most reliable way to go. This setup gives you control over MOST of the things you would probably need: on/off temp fan speed (on 500 only). There is modbus support in home-assistant i see ( ). The 500 is modbus protocol, so i think this assumes you have a “thing” (not sure what exactly yet) that speaks modbus to your A/C system on one side, and something (z-wave? IP?) on the other side where home-assistant can plug into. In our case the switch could be flipped by a z-wave switch (such as the Aeotec Z-Wave Nano Switch), which would complete the circuit on the LG dry contact switch (either PDRYCB400 or PDRYCB500, probably the 400). This is like hotel rooms where the A/C only springs to life when you flip a switch (such as inserting hotel keycard into slot). But this should give you a LOT of control over all the functions (anything the IR remote can do basically), its cheap, and its low fuss.Ģ/ a dry contact switch setup. Apparently not all wall control panels have an IR sensor... then theres always the risk that the sensibo doesn’t speak the exactly correct IR codes that my wall panel is expecting... wont know until i buy probably. For my AC unit, which is ducted, there is still some confusion is if could use this. Sensibo is home-assistant capable (a ‘component’ has been written). Not the standalone wall units, the advice is probably very different there)ġ/ smart IR relay (such as ). (I should note that my system is DUCTED system (B55AWY-7G5A). Updating this thread in case it helps anyone... in the last 2 months ive done quite a bit of research into this, including finally getting a hold of the right person at LG who knows what he is talking about (on his HVAC side of the fence anyway - perhaps less so on the home automation side, but thats ok as thats my job here and i think i can bridge that gap). Developers can visit the site to apply for a partnership and can gain access to the platform’s application programming interface (API). LG has opened a dedicated website for its smart home platform SmartThinQ for developers. I saw one more person looking for the integration, his however was for an LG Air Conditioner > LG Smartthinq Air Conditioning Maybe that information can also be pulled. It even works as a diagnostic tool for the fridge.

Would like it to be able to monitor it via HA, to alert me when sudden drop in temperature or when the door is left open. I just recently bought a new LG fridge and in their App I can set the fridge temperature, start express freezing etc. Please Integrate LG SMART THINQ appliances to work with HA. They are such big brand names and their “smart appliances” have been around for a while now. With all the integrations and components so far, I honestly was surprised an integration did not already exists. From Fridges and Washing machines to Air Conditioners. LG, BOSH and SAMSUNG have been leading the way getting home appliances online and therefore smart.Īll of them usually have one App to control their products.
