Does the manual include a link to the API?? I found the LG developer site () but that doesn't seem to have content related to controlling an appliances.? I've been writing a lot of drivers lately as part of the articles I've been doing and would be interested in taking a look at this API.

?

Thanks

That’s where the documentation in the owner’s manual about the API gets a little vague.

?

Biggest thing I think I’ll do is a vacation mode to cut energy consumption because (when the world is operating normally) I travel enough that it would be nice that for that to kick in ‘automatically’ when I put my house enters “long away” mode* and return to normal when the house is in “normal”.

?

I’m not sure if I’d implement it but you can also tell it you’re going to use more ice than normal which I might tie to activating when the house is in Party Mode

?

It can generate an alarm if the door is open for longer than X minutes which seems like a not awful thing to tie to some other logic

?

Other interesting options that don’t really apply to me but could be useful to people in different situations are control of “Sabbath Mode” (have the Crestron system put the refrigerator into/out of that mode automatically based on calendaring rather than making the user do it manually) and Smart Grid/Demand Response control where the refrigerator will delay things that require more electricity (making ice, defrosting, etc.) during peek demand times or for areas with TOU/RTP/VPP/CPP ?metering when costs are the highest… for homes with generators or battery backup, I could also see forcing this mode when utility power isn’t available to reduce/control the load on the emergency power system.

?

*= My house, via the Crestron ecosystem, has essentially four states – Normal (energy usage managed but not to the point of inconvenience), Short Away (slightly more aggressive energy management and some time to “recover” to normal), Long Away (heavy energy management, significantly longer recovery to normal), or Party (“screw energy management we’re going to have some fun” otherwise known as “don’t scare the guests by allowing too many things to turn on and off automatically” )
