OhmConnect and LG Electronics have partnered to integrate their demand response program with the ThinkQ App, using intelligent air conditioners to reduce energy consumption during peak demand periods. The collaboration introduces a gamified reward system to encourage consumers to conserve energy. OhmConnect is a gamified energy management platform. Users earn rewards by optimizing their LG air conditioners during peak demand. The program aims to create grid-connected homes by collaborating with other companies in renewable energy, energy storage systems, HVAC technology, and smart home tech. The LG ThinQ App lets users remotely control their LG room ACs to reduce energy usage during grid stress. This partnership with OhmConnect contributes to a sustainable ecosystem, improving grid reliability, saving energy bills, and reducing carbon footprint. Cisco DeVries, CEO of OhmConnect, stressed the importance of the LG partnership in helping millions manage energy use.
