LG and Lumi to collaborate on AI smart home services

LG Electronics and Lumi United Technology will collaborate on artificial intelligence (AI) smart home services, the companies have announced.

The South Korean electronics maker is a global powerhouse in home appliances and the rising Chinese tech firm makes smart home sensors and devices.

The two will sync their devices together for new services. For example, customers will be able to use Lumi’s humidity and temperature sensor at their home and LG’s AC will maintain the temperature set on the sensor automatically.

They will also be able to attach door sensors made by the Chinese firm on windows and LG’s appliances will alert them on whether it is opened or closed.
