LG has recently established a dedicated developer portal, smartsolution.developer.lge.com, marking a significant move to expose its 'ThinQ API' to a broader audience. This initiative aims to foster innovation within the smart home sector by allowing external developers to integrate LG's artificial intelligence-driven appliance features into their own applications and systems.
The 'ThinQ API' is bifurcated into two distinct streams: one catering to individual consumers and another, the 'ThinQ Business API', specifically designed for corporate collaborators. This dual approach suggests a strategy to simultaneously encourage grassroots development and facilitate more complex, enterprise-level integrations.
LG's foray into opening its API is not entirely new. The company also maintains a presence for webOS developers, emphasizing the creation of content and services for its smart TV and digital signage products. This platform encourages developers to "add values to webOS products with creative ideas," including customized solutions for commercial televisions via 'Pro:Centric Smart'. The availability of the 'webOS Open Source Edition' further signals an ongoing commitment to external collaboration and ecosystem expansion.
