It has recently come to our attention that users of this integration utilize either LG accounts or social network logins when prompted for authentication.

Some users have found success in utilizing different authentication methods, however, the results aren't consistent. In an attempt to remedy this to document and provide a better experience to users, We'd appreciate if you filled out the bellow template with details regarding how you set up the integration. This will allow us to find the correlation [If any] between what authentication method is used and its success or lack thereof.

Account Type: LG Account or Social, If social, Please specify the social network

The template contains examples, please adjust values to match your setup!

Any Further Comments: When recently reconfiguring I had to setup again. It failed as LG wanted me to accept new terms and conditions first, which the redirect doesn't take into account. After accepting terms in the mobile app the redirect method worked again.

Question: do I need to install the Wideq libraries before the SmartThinQ sensors will work, or does installing the SmartThinQ sensors integration auto-load the Wideq libraries/dependencies?

  3. Added washing machine to LG Account. After this, redirect url was accepted and washing machine appeared!

Any Further Comments: When signing into https://us.m.lgaccount.com/spx/login/signIn?country=US&language=en-US&svc_list=SVC202&client_id=LGAO221A02&division=ha&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fkr.m.lgaccount.com%2Flogin%2FiabClose&state=a3dd524a4ece11eb9b8ff44d3066368a&show_thirdparty_login=GGL%2CAMZ%2CFBK , I would get this error: "ID or password is not correct".

Strangely, when I tried signing in via https://www.lg.com/us/mylg, I would sign in, and immediately get sent to a second page where it asked me: " LG Account Authentication -- You have an LG account with [email protected]. Please sign in with your LG account password." I would try to sign in there and it kept redirecting back to that same page with the same screen to sign back in ... to which I never really could. Oddly, even though it appeared that I was not signed in, I could hit my account icon at the top and see my products.

I figured I would try signing out of my LG ThinQ iOS application, and sign back in there. When I tried that, it told me my password was over 3 months old, and that I needed to reset it. Odd that logging into the website did not reveal that same information.

All that said, once I reset my password, I was eventually able to login into the first URL (the one above) to get the second URL to plugin to the Redirection URL for the Home Assistant integration. All is now working as expected.

OK Here is the most hideous thing about the LG Password Rules

I create a password as follows: QwedcVqp58
This is just not accepted at all but if I create a password as follows it is magically: HelloPassword at least is longer than 8 characters and no one will ever be able to crack this one don't you think?

This sort of IT thinking drives me insane...

Is there any sort of documentation to actually read regarding the LG thing that was working just fine this morning and for the last 2 years but about 2 hours ago some IT guy had some bee in his bonnet to bring the LG account to a halt?

and now I have to start the registration of my products all over again

So I will rather just stop using any LG devices any longer this is hilariously ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, you don't. This is normal behavior, every time (once a year approx.,) the Terms and Condition are changing. Like almost every big company does.
All that you have to do is go to the phone app, accept the conditions and after that reload the integration. Nothing is lost. Everything works as it was before. Actually I would recommend LG, because their API works fine and reliable.

I am having to login to that stupid app almost monthly to accept new terms and conditions. Its super annoying. Once a year would be reasonable. Every few weeks is not. LG needs to not block API access based on changes to terms and conditions. I'm looking at other appliances to replace the LG ones because of this annoyance.

LG changed the terms, you need to accept the terms in the mobile application.

Any Further Comments: No luck with a fresh Canadian LG account: logged in LG ThinQ mobile app, accepted the terms and added my refrigerator. Getting "Invalid SmartThinQ credentials" regardless whether "Share Home Assistant connection" is ticked off or not. Tried "Use URL redirect authentication method" but got "This account already used to subscribe in Canada. To use services of USA please subscribe with a new account". Country "Canada" and language "English" matches the settings used to create the LG account and to sign in mobile app. Created a separate US LG account, and still was not able to sign in - same error message, "Invalid SmartThinQ credentials" (I can use the credentials with LG ThinQ mobile app).

NOTE: Both account ask to add phone number every time I sign in into mobile app even though I added and verified the phone number in both cases (not sure it affects anything). I see no other prompts. Using Home Assistant 2023.1.7 (Core) deployed on Synology DS418play.

UPDATE: The integration works with the same LG account on Home Assistant OS (standalone)

I don't know if it has been discussed before or not, but LG account with ThinQ SmartTV and LG Smartworld accounts are getting integrated into each other to have one single ID for all of them. Check to make sure because your LG account could have a different ID than your ThinQ account.

PS: we need a discussion section

A week ago I have received an notification what Integration need to be reconfigured. All devices had no access.
I tryed to re-authenticate and receive an notification "Error connecting to SmartThinQ. Try again, and make sure you can access the ThinQ app on your phone". Access through mobile has no problems.
2nd step I tryed to authenticate through URL redirect and received this notification: "Your LG Account is registered for Russian Federation only. Please sign up for a new account for the country of this service".
I thing, this problem, that autentification proccess is going through https://us.m.lgaccount.com/, because then I try to visit https://ru.lgaccount.com/ autentification proccess is success.

Then I try to change "us" to "ru" in the bottomline https://"US".m.lgaccount.com/spx/login/signIn?country=RU&language=en-EN&client_id=LGAO221A02&svc_list=SVC202&svc_integrated=Y&show_thirdparty_login=LGE%2CMYLG%2CGGL%2CAMZ%2CFBK%2CAPPL&division=ha&callback_url=https%3A%2F%2Fru.m.lgaccount.com%2Fspx%2Flogin%2FiabClose&oauth2State=bc81f025b0211ee8f04000c292a9b8d&show_select_country=N I receive a same error.

upd: updated from 0.3.56 to 0.3.60. Than trying to autentificate I receive an notification "No SmartThinQ devices found. Component setup aborted."

upd2: updated from 0.3.60 to 0.3.61. Everything works again. Thanks ollo69!

Any Further Comments:

I was concerned with the details about using a social account. So I logged into the LG app to see. Under the MENU, clicked my profile to view 'My Page'. Then I clicked the EDIT PROFILE link which opens an LG website in app. LG told me that I had logged in using a social and that I needed to create an LG account as well to edit my profile. So I filled in the LG account details with my yahoo email. Which 'linked' my social account login to a LG account.

Then I logged into the addon using the new LG account details and everything worked great!
