LG really, really wants
you to have a good chat with your washer/dryer and robotic vacuum cleaner. It just announced you'll soon be able to use the Line messaging app and a new service called Home Chat to give natural
language commands to its 2014 Smart Appliance lineup. If you tell the system
"I'm going on vacation," for instance, it'll put your refrigerator
into power-savings mode and program the robotic vacuum cleaner. The app will
also update you as to what's in the fridge, show a history of your robotic
vacuum's cleaning trips and recommend recipes via the smart oven, to name a few
other features. LG also announced NFC tagging and smart diagnoses for its
upcoming smart appliance lineup, a scheme that'll help you avoid unnecessary
repair visits, download new washing machine cycles and more. All of this will
arrive in the flesh at CES
2014, but if you're interested, maybe avoid seeing Maximum Overdrive in
the meantime.
