Hi folks. I’m 5 years old user of OpenHab. I can say… this open source project is amazing !
However, in the past year, I missed a binding to integrate OpenHab with LG Thinq API. After a long research and study, I developed once, and I gonna be very happy to contribute in this project.
To do so, I read the contribution doc, opened a fork from the addons repository and put my biding on it (I’m still working on the documentations and some useful unit tests). Than I created an enhancement issue (as described in the contribution doc) and I believe the next step is to create a PR in the public addons repository to start the review process. Is that right ? Are there some other tips or missing steps ?

Thanks for your effort an willing to contribute a new binding, highly appreciated.
As I added to your issue on github, I would suggest to rename it to LGThinq binding, to be extendable to more devices using Thinq API.
Next step then will be the pull request, which you can mark ad [WIP] - work in progress, until you finished the docs.

Look forward to this binding so I can connect my washing machine and dryer.
I´m not aware how much info is available through the api. But will power monitoring be possible?
This is already possible through a MQTT bridge, but a native binding will make things easier…
Hmm wasnt aware the ThinQ could be setup using MQTT.
I would however, always prefere a native binding.
No, you need a Thinq-MQTT-Proxy, I will post the link later…
Here it is …

Hi, Kim. Actually, I’m still working on the WM device integration and I planning to release a PR for tests tomorrow to control Power and Course. But as I don’t have any LG’s WM, I need help to validate it. Currently, only Air Conditioners are relatively tested and should be working.

I can do some testing if you like, both washingmaskine and dryer, both are connected to the ThinQ app. 
Great. Right now, I think you can help providing the capability file created by the binding in your OH3 intallation. Please, look at $OPENHAB_USERDATA/thinq and attach here all thinq-*-cap.json.
Regards,
Nemer.
He needs a working kar file for that …

Just post the link to the binding, and I´ll attach the info you need
Ohhh sorry. It was my fault. We are still in PR tests Kim. It’s not officially available.
OK, I will build the kar later on and publish it here…
Here is the link to the last version :
https://github.com/hmerk/lg-thinq-binding/raw/main/org.openhab.binding.lgthinq-3.3.0-SNAPSHOT.kar
No worry… Seems like Hans-Jorg is on it
I´ll give it a try asap, (just got home from work).
Thanks alot Hans-Jorg.
You‘re welcome, just had to upload it to github.
Hmm, am I missing somehting in my OH3.2 (I´m still trying to get used to OH3, used to use 2.5).
I get this error when installing the binding:

I move it to /srv/openhab-addons/ which I use to in OH2.5.
Depending to your installation it needs to be put in
/usr/share/openhab/addons
