The 2016 will be a year that will see many innovations in technology. One of these is certainly the explosion of devices IoT (Internet of Things). LG has already presented its platform SmartThinQ order to interconnect all of the smart home appliances, but will present at CES 2016 even the newcomer: the SmartThinQ Hub, which is a metal cylinder that will work as the nerve center for sensors and smart appliances.
SmartThinQ Hub is a device that collects and distributes data to and from appliances and sensors connected (hence the “hub” of the name), allowing us to control them easily via smartphone. In addition, it can notify a few events in the personal calendar, or voice through the 3.5-inch display on the top. If the utility were to stop here, probably would not do anything more than a normal app for smartphones, but This metal cylinder , available in Black and Champagne Gold finish, encloses within a speaker for listening to music through the most popular music services or simply doing streaming from your phone or tablet.
Lo SmartThingQ Hub, will not be missed by many, seems to be the twin brother of Amazon Echo, another device was recently presented with very similar functions. The selection of Amazon, however, can not rely on the advantage of being able to operate as a real hub for smart appliances that every smart-home-respecting must accommodate. In addition, this must give about LG, The Korean company has wisely married a format of communication open , the AllJoyn® Alliance open source framework, that will provide the ability to integrate as many devices do not manufactured by LG itself, and to propose complete packages for specific purposes, such as for the health-care, energy savings or checking the air quality.
All devices that exploit the platform SmartThinQ will be present, of course, at CES 2016.
