Quick summary
LG’s webOS 24 platform now plays nicely with Matter, AirPlay 2, and ThinQ routines. We bridge those capabilities with dedicated control processors so scenes feel polished and serviceable.
Choose the right control stack
Decide how sophisticated your control environment needs to be. Homes that only require on/off, input changes, or Art Mode triggers often succeed with LG ThinQ paired with Google Assistant, Alexa, or Siri shortcuts.
Larger residences or boutique offices benefit from Control4, Savant, URC, or similar processors where we map discrete IP commands, feedback strings, and macros. This keeps handheld remotes consistent and allows advanced scheduling.
Conference rooms and hospitality spaces typically integrate webOS with Crestron, Q-SYS, or AMX so presets recall inputs, audio levels, and lighting scenes in one button press.
Matter and Thread considerations
LG’s 2024–2025 TVs can operate as Matter controllers for select devices. Inventory existing Thread border routers—Eero, HomePod, Nanoleaf—and confirm channel alignment to avoid interference with Wi-Fi or Zigbee networks.
Plan the onboarding order carefully. Pair shades, lighting, and plugs room by room so devices land in the correct Matter spaces. Take screenshots and store QR codes or setup keys in your project binder for future service.
When you mix Matter with legacy protocols, document where bridges are located, how they are powered, and which automations depend on them. Firmware updates are much less stressful when you know the physical topology.
Automations that clients actually use
Design scenes that mirror everyday routines. Examples include Start Movie (dim lights, close shades, power the AVR, set Filmmaker Mode), Morning News (raise shades, switch to cable input, cap volume), and Kids Gaming (enable Game Optimizer, turn on console, set a session timer).
Store these routines inside the control processor and in a shared SOP. Document brightness levels, input names, and audio routes so any change can be made without dismantling the entire workflow.
For voice assistants, craft natural phrases and test them with the household. Consistency between Siri, Alexa, and Google prompts keeps guests or staff from guessing commands.
Hardware pairings
Match the display to the environment. Bright multipurpose rooms may call for a Mini LED like the QNED90, while cinematic spaces still shine with Evo OLED panels such as the G4 or C4. Capture viewing distances, seating arrangements, and window placements before you finalize the choice.
For audio, pair streaming sources with a Sonos Arc, an Amp driving architectural speakers, or other voice-enabled soundbars so announcements remain clear throughout the home. Group the audio zones strategically to keep automation scenes intuitive across rooms.
Service and documentation
Provide an IP map, port assignments, and credential vault entries for every integration. List Matter codes, ThinQ accounts, controller IPs, and automation logins in one secure location that owners and service partners can access.
Whenever new gear is added or automations change, update the diagram and SOP immediately so future technicians know which scenes and schedules need attention. A well-documented system is far easier to support over the long term.
