[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]LG Electronics showcased the convenience-enhancing features of its Smart Home Service at the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The advanced system combines the sophisticated media sharing technolo-gies of SmartShare with the integrated home appliance management capabilities of SmartControl, enabling the user to take complete command of their smart home envi-ronment.

Consumers can start their laundry, check what’s in the fridge, or have the floor vacu-umed, all while they’re away from home. Additionally, it’s possible to control the washer or range oven from the couch with LG’s Smart TV and Magic Remote. Thanks to LG’s SmartControl app, household chores no longer have to get in the way of watch-ing a favorite movie or show.

“The Smart Home Service is a perfect example of LG’s commitment to bringing true technology convergence into the consumer’s home,” said Dr. Scott Ahn, Chief Tech-nology Officer of LG Electronics. “SmartShare offers a variety of ways to share digital content between devices. SmartControl lets the user take charge of their LG home ap-pliance and entertainment products from a single location using the SmartControl appli-cation for smartphones and Smart TVs.”
