Comment Comment by wonko1 Looking through their site the cheapest home applicances that LG sells are microwaves.They cost on the order of 100USD for the cheapest models. The cheapest Wifi "IoT" microcontrollers are on the order of 1USD.Seems like it might be a reasonable business move, even if it's just a box ticking exercise.I'll be surprised if they do put them in their lowest end products though. Perhaps those product lines are stable and won't be updated in 2017? parent wonko1 9 years ago
