Contribution - LG ThinQ Binding

Yeah, that’s what I thought too. We’ll be waiting for the update!
Thank you so much!
By the way, it’s possible this isn’t just on RU servers; maybe LG uses similar options elsewhere.

I was really looking forward to version 5 of OH, just for this extension. Then, when I updated to version 5, the extension didn’t work… I waited for several months, thinking the problem would resolve itself…
…But I couldn’t wait any longer; my fingers were itching to do something, so I decided to do a little research :grinning_face:

Please try this new test version with the fix I implemented to check whether you can now connect to LG API in your region. Notice that the binding will only works in openhab >= 5.1.X (millestone trunk).

Sorry for the long wait. I was on vacation.
I installed release 5.1.1 and the specified jar.

Very cool! Everything works!
