The partnership will focus on IoT solutions that detect changes in indoor environments, such as humidity level, temperature and movement of doors.
LG’s smart home products will be embedded with Lumi’s Aqara sensor technology to increase safety, save energy and permit problem-solving responses, such as the air conditioner turning on to adjust to a preferred temperature.
LG will be showing a dehumidifier using Lumi technology that will maintain clothes in optimal condition by automatically regulating humidity. It will also demonstrate the WK7 intelligent speaker connected to an Aqara LED light bulb that changes the lighting in the room when it hears the words “cinema mode.”
LG will demonstrate those technologies at IFA 2019 taking place September 6-11 in Berlin.
