After doing some searching it looks like this might be a starting point
though I'm not seeing much for a refrigerator.? I also checked and LG doesn't support a refrigerator through the IFTTT service, only clothes washers and dryers.? That isn't a good sign for finding the functionality you described below that you want.
If you know Python, which I don't, then this might be useful though it looks like it might only support air conditioners.
Hope this helps
Jay

It does not ?-- only ¡°Please check the detailed specifications on the notice page on us.smartthinq.com¡± but that doesn¡¯t really go anywhere.

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.

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 ¨C 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¡± )

Out of curiosity,? what exactly can you do with the api?? Always wondered what the point of it was??
