Xi Apartments to Add AI Home Services With LG ThinQ ON Hub
LG Electronics and GS Engineering & Construction are jointly developing a next-generation AI home system for Xi apartments. ThinQ ON will connect appliances and apartment infrastructure, learn resident routines, and suggest convenient services. LG CLOi robots may expand the model into delivery and serving tasks.
LG Electronics and GS Engineering & Construction are bringing next-generation AI home functions into Xi apartments. The core system links home appliances, cooling, heating, lighting, and residential services through the ThinQ ON AI home hub. When a resident is on the way home, the system can ask whether to turn on the air conditioner in advance and can recommend services based on repeated daily patterns.
ThinQ ON Meets Xi Infrastructure
The project goes beyond simple remote control through a smartphone. ThinQ ON acts as an AI hub that reads appliance status, indoor conditions, time patterns, and repeated resident behavior. Once connected with Xi home networks, community facilities, and building operation systems, functions such as climate control, lighting, visitor response, and living alerts can work as one service flow. In summer, if the home is hot and the resident’s return pattern is confirmed, pre-cooling can be suggested. The aim is to improve comfort while reducing unnecessary energy use.
Robots for Delivery and Serving
The AI home model can also extend beyond the unit. LG CLOi home robots can be used for in-complex delivery, serving in community spaces, and carrying convenience items to residents. Korean apartment complexes are becoming lifestyle platforms where parcels, food delivery, security, and community services overlap. Robots can reduce repetitive labor and provide more predictable non-contact services. Elevator integration, access control, privacy protection, and safety rules will be key requirements.
Impact on Korea’s Housing Market
Smart home capability is now a core part of apartment brand competition in Korea. With higher interest rates and construction costs pushing up sales prices, buyers compare energy savings, management efficiency, security, and care functions more closely. AI home services can strengthen Xi’s premium positioning. Builders are moving from hardware-focused housing supply to service-based residential operation, while appliance makers are becoming whole-home platform providers.
