[Asia Economy Reporter Joesulgina] LG Uplus announced on the 18th that it has signed a smart home business agreement with Daewoo Industrial Development and agreed to mutually cooperate in building a smart home platform within the ‘Iaan’ apartments, which are known for their distinctiveness.


LG Uplus plans to establish a smart home platform in the Daegu Gamsam-dong mixed-use complex near Jukjeon Station in Daegu Metropolitan City, which Daewoo Industrial Development is scheduled to launch by the end of this year. Furthermore, LG Uplus intends to expand the application of its smart home system to other projects supplied by Daewoo Industrial Development in the future.


The smart home platform installed inside the apartments is an integrated system linking the existing home network with LG Uplus’s smart home services and AI platform. Residents can use IoT services within their homes not only through a dedicated smart home application but also via AI speakers.


Accordingly, residents of Daewoo Industrial Development apartments will be able to control not only the wired-based existing systems such as lighting, heating, and gas installed at move-in through the dedicated smart home app ‘U+ Smart Home’ but also individually purchased IoT home appliances in an integrated manner.


Additionally, the system analyzes usage patterns of connected IoT appliances and recommends various device control scenarios such as commuting, weekends, and travel to users. It encourages optimized appliance use depending on the situation and provides convenience by automatically executing device operations based on smartphone location information when leaving or returning home.


In particular, subscribers to LG Uplus’s ‘Smart Internet’ plan can use AI speaker functions such as ▲smart home control ▲music and media ▲knowledge and lifestyle information ▲foreign languages ▲kids content ▲shopping, as well as an AI remote control function that can operate old appliances controllable only via infrared remotes through the AI speaker.


Through this agreement, LG Uplus has established a foundation to provide various smart home services that enhance the convenience of Daewoo Industrial Development apartment residents, while Daewoo Industrial Development can improve its brand image with advanced convenience facilities and a smart home platform.


Jae-seok Ko, Head of Home Sales at LG Uplus, said, “Currently, by linking home networks within apartment complexes with LG Uplus’s smart home services, we are providing customers with convenience and value beyond expectations,” adding, “This will be an opportunity to expand smart home services to more apartment residents in the future.”



Jaehyun Jo, Executive Director in charge of Product Outsourcing at Daewoo Industrial Development, stated, “Through this agreement, we will not only provide differentiated residential services to customers but also strengthen our competitiveness in the expanding smart home market.”
