Unveiled to the public at the CES show in Las Vegas 2022, the HCA (Home Connectivity Alliance) aims to improve the connected home experience through open innovation and collaboration, and more concretely to create a home ecosystem connected safe, secure and interoperable by ensuring perfect compatibility between various devices and services of different brands.
Home Connectivity Alliance 1.0 or connected interoperability of brands
Alliance member LG Electronics announced the first commercial implementation of the HCA 1.0 specification, allowing devices from different brands to be connected via the LG ThinQ connected home platform. By the end of the year, users of the ThinQ application will be able to control devices from different brands, such as Samsung and Vestel, from a single interface. Initially, only appliances such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers will be affected, but other types of products will later be integrated.
