LG showcases its Home Connectivity Alliance experience at CES 2023
LG Electronics (LG), a board member of the Home Connectivity Alliance (HCA), has showcased a seamless smart home experience at CES 2023.
Along with other HCA member companies, LG demonstrated the interoperability enabled under the new HCA Specification 1.0, whereby smart home solutions from different brands work together to deliver true connected convenience in the home.

Inside HCA’s booth at CES, LG will exhibited its latest smart home appliances – including the refrigerator with MoodUP, WashTower laundry solution, ARTCOOL Gallery air conditioner and PuriCare AeroTower – together with products from other alliance members. Visitors will be able to see the realisation of HCA’s “Any app to any device” vision, which presents users with the ability to manage each brand’s products via each brand’s smart control app, such as the LG intuitive ThinQ app. This new level of interoperability is currently supported by HCA member companies including LG.
Utilising existing industry standards to define Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) interoperability guidelines, the new HCA Specification 1.0 has been established to allow home appliances, TVs and HVAC systems to interoperate seamlessly with one another, irrespective of brand. In addition to newly launched models, consumers can continue using the smart home appliances and HVAC solutions that they already own which are covered by HCA Specification 1.0, without having to install any major firmware updates.
“As a member of HCA, LG is contributing to the realisation of a safe, secure and interoperable connected home ecosystem,” LG president of the home appliance and air solution company Lyu Jae-cheol says.
“Through collaboration and open innovation, we will continue to provide consumers with solutions for a smarter, more convenient way of living.”
