[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]At IFA 2013, LG Electronics (LG) will showcase its smart appliance lineup, offering upgraded efficiency and convenience. By simply touching their smartphones to the NFC Tag-on symbol on one of LG’s smart appliances and through Smart Control, customers can easily register and control their refrigerator, washing machine, robotic vacuum cleaner or oven and remotely monitor the appliances.

“At this year’s IFA, LG will demonstrate its most advanced, convenience-enhancing smart home appliances,” said Seong-jin Jo, president and CEO of the LG Electronics Home Appliance Company. “LG’s upgraded smart technology gives users the ability to control their appliances, no matter where they are. Owners can begin their evening’s wash while driving home from work so wet laundry doesn’t sit in the washing machine all day. They can also tell their robotic cleaner to vacuum the floor to receive unplanned guests or bring up a list of food items in the refrigerator that are nearing their expiration dates. LG’s enhanced device-to-device connectivity offers incredible convenience, as users can monitor household appliances through their TV while still watching their favorite shows. It’s a smart home for those who want the ultimate smart lifestyle.”
