LG ThinQ integrates LG smart appliances with Home Assistant through the LG cloud API. This covers washing machines, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioners, and air purifiers — providing status monitoring, cycle tracking, and some remote control capabilities.
The integration gives Home Assistant visibility into appliance states: wash cycle progress, refrigerator temperature, AC mode, and energy consumption. This enables automations like running the washing machine during off-peak electricity hours or alerting when a cycle completes.
HA DocumentationHow LG ThinQ Works with Home Assistant
Getting LG ThinQ connected to Home Assistant and running reliably.
Connect your hub
Add LG ThinQ through the integrations panel. Hub-connected devices, network clients, and system health metrics appear as entities in Home Assistant.
Device tracking & presence
Use LG ThinQ network data for presence detection. Know who's home based on which phones are connected to your network — no app required on their devices.
Network-aware automation
Build automations based on network state. When a specific device connects or disconnects, trigger scenes, adjust settings, or send notifications.
Common LG ThinQ Issues
The problems installers run into with LG ThinQ and Home Assistant — and how a managed setup prevents them.
Cloud API authentication changes
LG periodically changes their ThinQ API authentication flow, breaking the Home Assistant integration. Region-specific API differences add complexity.
Limited remote control features
While monitoring works well, remote control capabilities are limited. Most appliances require physical 'Remote Start' activation and can only be started — not fully configured — through the API.
Slow status updates
Appliance status updates can lag by several minutes due to cloud API polling. Real-time monitoring of cycle progress isn't practical through this integration.
Why installers choose managed LG ThinQ setups
- Authentication management with proactive token refresh
- Energy-aware laundry scheduling integrated with electricity rate data
- Multi-channel notification workflows for cycle completion alerts

Appliances
7 devicesTop Control Smart Dishwasher with QuadWash
The LDP6797ST is LG's quiet top-control dishwasher at 44 dB, with QuadWash, a height-adjustable third rack, and Glide Rail upper rack. It connects to Home Assistant through the cloud lg_thinq integration for cycle monitoring and completion notifications.
Smart Top Control Dishwasher with QuadWash Pro
The LDPS6762S is LG's flagship top-control dishwasher for 2026: QuadWash Pro high-pressure jets, TrueSteam, and Dynamic Dry behind a height-adjustable third rack. Home Assistant reaches it through the cloud lg_thinq integration, which is a genuinely good monitoring surface: cycle, status, remaining time, door, and rinse aid level all report as entities.
24-inch QuadWash Top Control Dishwasher
The LDTS5552S is LG's value smart dishwasher: 46 dB QuadWash cleaning, Dynamic Dry with TrueSteam, and a third rack, at roughly half the price of the QuadWash Pro models. It still speaks ThinQ, so it gets the same cloud lg_thinq entities in Home Assistant as the flagship.
27 cu. ft. Smart InstaView Counter-Depth MAX French Door Refrigerator
The LRFGC2706S is a 27 cu. ft. Counter-Depth MAX French door refrigerator with an InstaView window, dual freezer drawers, and an internal water dispenser instead of a through-the-door one. It reports to Home Assistant through the cloud lg_thinq integration with the same entity set as the rest of LG's smart refrigerator range.
26 cu. ft. Smart InstaView Counter-Depth MAX French Door Refrigerator
The LRFOC2606S is a 26 cu. ft. Counter-Depth MAX French door refrigerator with an edge-to-edge InstaView window, dual ice makers, and an external ice and water dispenser. Home Assistant reads it through the cloud lg_thinq integration: compartment setpoints, door state, and filter life all arrive as entities.
23 cu. ft. Counter-Depth French 4-Door Refrigerator with Full-Convert Drawer
The LRMVC2306S is a 23 cu. ft. counter-depth French four-door refrigerator with Door-in-Door, an InstaView window, dual ice makers with Craft Ice, and a Full-Convert drawer that switches between fridge and freezer across five temperature settings. It reports to Home Assistant through the cloud lg_thinq integration.
26 cu. ft. Counter-Depth MAX French Door Refrigerator with Mirror InstaView
The LRYKC2606S is a 26 cu. ft. counter-depth French door refrigerator with a Mirror InstaView panel that returns to a mirror finish, four ice types including Craft Ice, and a tall dispenser sized for pitchers. Home Assistant connects through the cloud lg_thinq integration for setpoints, door state, and filter tracking.
Recipes that use LG ThinQ
Selora AI installs each of these as a ready-made Home Assistant automation, built on the entities this integration already exposes. There is no YAML to write.
Kitchen
7 recipesLG Dishwasher: Cycle Finished
Sends a Home Assistant push notification the moment your LG dishwasher finishes its cycle, so clean dishes get unloaded while they are still warm and dry instead of sitting overnight. Add a speaker and it announces the finished cycle out loud. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
LG ThinQLG Dishwasher: Machine Clean Reminder
Turns your LG dishwasher's machine-clean reminder into a Home Assistant push notification, so you run the tub-cleaning cycle on time instead of letting grease and odour build up. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
LG ThinQLG Dishwasher: Rinse Aid Low
Turns your LG dishwasher's built-in rinse-aid sensor into a Home Assistant push notification, so you are told the moment the dispenser runs low instead of finding out from spotty glasses. Built around the LG ThinQ integration.
LG ThinQLG Fridge: Door Alert
Installs a Home Assistant automation that watches your LG fridge and freezer doors, straight from the ThinQ integration, and alerts you when one is left open longer than a grace period you set. Add lights and it flashes the room; add a speaker and it announces the warning out loud.
LG ThinQLG Fridge: Filter Reminder
Turns your LG fridge's built-in water filter sensor into a Home Assistant push notification, so you are told the moment the fridge reports the filter needs replacing instead of having to notice it in the app or on a dashboard. Optionally add the months-in-use sensor for an earlier heads-up.
LG ThinQLG Fridge: Ice Boost
Installs a Home Assistant automation that switches your LG fridge's rapid cooling on ahead of events on your calendar, so there is plenty of ice and cold drinks when guests arrive, then switches it back off when the event ends.
LG ThinQLG Fridge: Vacation Mode
Creates a Fridge vacation toggle. Flip it on before you travel and Selora AI eases your LG fridge and freezer setpoints up to an energy-saving level and switches rapid cooling off. Flip it back and everything returns to exactly what it was.
