IoT for Temperature Control
LG U+ announced on May 22 that it has signed a memorandum of agreement (MOU) with Honeywell Korea to research and develop an indoor temperature control and monitoring system using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
Honeywell provides solutions in various industries, such as household, building and factory automatic control systems, security systems, turbo engine parts for spacecraft and specialty chemical and plastic products. The global company established Honeywell Korea here in 1984.
With the new built-in smart thermostat system, users will be able to monitor and control indoor temperatures remotely through the LG Uplus mobile IoT platform.
LG U+ and Honeywell Korea have decided to establish the system, which allows users to monitor and control indoor temperatures remotely through the IoT platform, with the new built-in smart thermostat in residential and office buildings.
The companies said they will push to provide the built-in systems in new small and medium-sized apartments, studios and office buildings to be established from the second half of this year. They also plan to develop an intelligent IoT service that automatically controls and sets optimal indoor temperatures according to outdoor temperatures without human involvement.
Starting from the collaboration for smart thermostat products, LG U+ and Honeywell Korea will jointly build a comprehensive home energy management service by converging the telecom company's network capabilities to Honeywell's sensor technology and system products in diverse industries.
