LG Electronics announces Google Home-compatible appliances

At “Google I/O 2017” in Mountain View, California, LG Electronics yesterday announced a line-up of smart appliances that are fully compatible with the Google Assistant on Google Home.
Google Home compatibility will begin rolling out this month in the United States on LG’s premium portfolio of connected smart devices, including the LG Signature washing machine and dryer, refrigerator, oven range and air purifier, as well as an LG air-conditioner and robotic vacuum. 
With Google Home, users will be able to access the full range of the Google Assistant’s features on connected LG appliances. Compatibility with Google Home provides tangible benefits while enhancing usability for connected devices, LG says. 
For example, users can check the time remaining during wash cycles on their washing machine, tell their refrigerator to create more ice, or adjust thermostat settings on their air-conditioner through simple spoken commands from anywhere within range of Google Home.
“Our partnership with Google demonstrates just how easy it is to smart-enable one’s home with friendly, approachable products. You don’t have to earn a degree in rocket science to design your very own smart home,” said Song Dae-hyun, president of LG Electronics Home Appliance & Air Solutions Company.
“We look forward to expanding our working relationship with Google and other innovators in this dynamic market in the years to come to make the smart home a reality for all.”
