LG Unveils Innovative Smart Home Solutions at IBS 2025
At the recent NAHB International Builders' Show® (IBS) held in Las Vegas, LG Electronics demonstrated its commitment to the professional market by showcasing its state-of-the-art LG ThinQ® smart home platform. This innovative technology aims to redefine the living experience for both builders and homeowners by enhancing connectivity and convenience.
The LG ThinQ platform leverages advanced AI-powered technology, allowing smooth integration across various LG products. Builders and consumers alike can enjoy personalized features that not only prolong the life of appliances but also simplify future upgrades, thus empowering builders to create homes that are not only stylish but highly efficient.
According to Guy Minnix, the head of LG's Pro Builder division in the U.S., the benefits of LG ThinQ extend beyond convenience. Builders can expect fewer repairs and mitigated damages thanks to seamless management of smart appliances. Homeowners, on the other hand, gain access to independently tailored features, software updates, and custom services that optimize appliance performance while reducing carbon footprints throughout their lifespan.
"As a leading provider of smart living solutions, LG is uniquely positioned to deliver ThinQ-enabled smart appliances and energy-efficient technologies that allow builders to design and construct ultra-connected, high-performance homes," Minnix stated. He emphasized that leveraging such advanced technology helps enhance the overall ownership experience by allowing users to remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot products with ease.
The ThinQ platform includes a wide range of appliances—from refrigerators and washing machines to ovens and cooktops—all equipped with the ThinQ software. The platform also helps make cooking smarter through its app that provides step-by-step video tutorials, enabling users to send cooking instructions directly to compatible appliances. Homeowners can conveniently manage their devices from anywhere, adjusting temperature settings or monitoring energy use right from the app. The ThinQ application is also compatible with popular virtual assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home, further streamlining the smart home experience.
Home technology expert Carley Knobloch praised ThinQ for its user-friendly capabilities, stating, "ThinQ allows you to stay informed about your appliances throughout the day—knowing when tasks will be completed or if maintenance is required—all from the palm of your hand, making household chores exceedingly simple."
Moreover, LG's ThinQ platform integrates seamlessly with smart apartment systems thanks to its open architecture. This feature endows property managers of multi-family units with a comprehensive control system for managing LG appliances and HVAC systems through a centralized portal. This not only enhances operational efficiency via remote monitoring and automated controls but also encourages proactive detection of issues, such as water leaks.
Minnix highlighted the dual benefits of this technology: reduced operational expenses for property management teams and improved tenant satisfaction.
Exclusively available through LG is the ThinQ Care™, a service that proactively manages appliance maintenance by offering diagnostic alerts and real-time support to users. This innovative feature helps users address potential issues before they escalate, ultimately saving both time and money. Additionally, the ThinQ UP™ software adapts to a homeowner’s routine to ensure that appliances evolve with their needs, providing the latest improvements and security updates effortlessly.
At the IBS, LG welcomed guests to experience their extensive portfolio of smart life solutions at booth #W2931. The show also featured the New American Home® (TNAH), showcasing LG appliances alongside HVAC solutions and consumer electronics. For further details on LG's builder market offerings, you can visit
