A HomeAssistant custom integration to monitor and control LG devices using ThinQ API based on WideQ project.
Supported devices are:
- Air Conditioner
- Air Purifier
- Dehumidifier
- Dishwasher
- Dryer
- Fan
- Hood
- Microwave
- Range
- Refrigerator
- Styler
- Tower Washer-Dryer
- Washer
- Water Heater
Important: The component will not work if you have logged into the ThinQ application and registered your devices using a social network account (Google, Facebook or Amazon). In order to use the component you need to create a new independent LG account and make sure you log into the ThinQ app and associate your devices with it. If during configuration you receive the message "No SmartThinQ devices found", probably your devices are still associated with the social network account. To solve the problem perform the following step:
- remove your devices from the ThinQ app
- logout from the app and login again with the independent LG account
- reconnect the devices in the app
Important 2: If you receive an "Invalid Credential" error during component configuration/startup, check in the LG mobile app if is requested to accept new Term Of Service.
Note: some device status may not be correctly detected, this depends on the model. I'm working to map all possible status developing the component in a way to allow to configure model option in the simplest possible way and provide update using Pull Requests. I will provide a guide on how update this information.
You can install this component in two ways: via HACS or manually.
If you have HACS, just go in the Integration Tab and search the "SmartThinQ LGE Sensors" component and install it.
Prerequisite: SSH into your server. Home Assistant Add-on: SSH server
-
Clone the git master branch.
git clone https://github.com/ollo69/ha-smartthinq-sensors.git -
If missing, create a
custom_componentsdirectory where yourconfiguration.yamlfile resides. This is usually in the config directory of homeassistant.mkdir ~/.homeassistant/custom_components -
Copy the
smartthinq_sensorsdirectory within thecustom_componentsdirectory of your homeassistant installation from step 2.cp -R ha-smartthinq-sensors/custom_components/smartthinq_sensors/ ~/.homeassistant/custom_components -
(Optional) Delete the git repo.
rm -Rf ha-smartthinq-sensors/After a correct installation, your configuration directory should look like the following.
└── ... └── configuration.yaml └── secrets.yaml └── custom_components └── smartthinq_sensors └── __init__.py └── config_flow.py └── const.py └── ... -
Reboot HomeAssistant
Once the component has been installed, you need to configure it using the web interface in order to make it work.
- Go to "Settings->Devices & Services".
- Hit shift-reload in your browser (this is important!).
- Click "+ Add Integration".
- Search for "SmartThinQ LGE Sensors"
- Select the integration and Follow setup workflow
Important: use your country and language code: SmartThinQ accounts are associated with a specific locale, so be sure to use the country and language you originally created your account with. Reference for valid code:
- Country code: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code
- Language code: ISO 639-1 code
In this example, "My [insert thing]" will just be the placeholder

Charles, mitmproxy, and Fiddler are examples of software that can be used to perform this mitm 'attack'/observation.
This can be done using a physical or virtual device that can run the LG ThinQ app. While it is theoretically possible with iOS, it is much easier to do this using Android.
Windows 11 enables the ability to run Android apps on most modern machines, making this process more accessible by eliminating the need for a physical device or separate emulation/virtualization software.
For information on how to do this with Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) on Windows 11 using mitmproxy, please see the repo zimmra/frida-rootbypass-and-sslunpinning-lg-thinq (Method tested August '23, LG ThinQ Version 4.1.46041)
If you like the component, why don't you support me by buying me a coffee? It would certainly motivate me to further improve this work.
