[NO LONGER MAINTAINED] LG ThinQ integration attempt?

Unfortunately I had to revert the firmware as I was getting daily drops, even with a reboot scheduler. It’s the first time in years (ever) I’ve encountered this and had to rollback the FW.

I don't think a scheduled reboot helps with this. The problem can occur whenever the cloud service changes IP addresses. It could happen 5 minutes after your scheduled reboot.

I have Node Red listening to my Hubitat logsocket, so I was able to set up a flow there that reboots only when the error occurs.

I killed all my NR and HA servers as it was getting too much to manage, and prefer a simpler approach.

The disconnects were intermittent but we mostly noticed it after I went to sleep. Occasionally it would occur during the day but in the mornings my family would encounter issues with using voice (Alexa) to activate lights, etc.

Having a reboot in the morning allowed the family to get up and the kids out the door before it would act up again. One person in my household who was recently in critical condition at a hospital is extremely lucky to even be back, so being able to operate everything with voice and not having to get up due to an unforeseen disability has proven more important than ever. This just really came at a bad time.

Anyone see that LG is finally opening up to third parties?

Looks like it's only B2B partners, so still no good for a community app... but hubitat could it would seem

LG bought out Homey and there new LG hub looks strangely like a rebranded Homey as many suspected they would do, this will be a mess for sure!!!

Since yesterday my washer and dryer information are not refreshed anymore. I tried to change my password, rerun the app and regenerate the connection but I still have the problem. My LG HVAC is working fine. Any idea ? It is updated in HA.

It would be great if Hubitat could integrate LG natively.

It would be... there are rumors that after the next major release, Hubitat developers will focus on integrations, this one might be on the list :wink:

What a great NEWS !!!!!!!!!

I'm in the beta and obviously have some LG, so HMU if you need a tester for a few of these.

Specifically, the 5-burner gas over electric dual-fuel oven (LSD4913ST) and a dishwasher (LDT7808ST). Our fridge, micro and dryer are dumb, but have a recent smart washer (WM5500HWA) as well.

LG app used to show each burner on the cooktop but dumbed it down to a single "cooktop."

The per-burner info still appears to be in the API, so perhaps HE could smarten it back up. :grin:
