(thank goodness for that extra day, eh?) is the promised release this month for the user interface widgets. The release, as noted on the EnyoJS blog also brings the Enyo framework to beta 2 status, which comes with fuller cross platform support for "a wide range of desktop and mobile browsers, from IE 8 to iOS 5."

The UI widgets set takes after the already-established look of webOS 3.0, maintaining the three-dimensional rounded buttons and text fields aesthetic. The only easily discerned difference is in the slider grab handles, which have morphed from virtual slots to more subtle virtual grooves. The new/old look has been dubbed Onyx by the Enyo team - while it may look practically the same, the widgets were built from the ground-up for Enyo 2. This is just the initial release for Onyx, with additional updates to come in the months ahead. If you're wanting to try it out while you're waiting for developers to deploy Enyo 2.0-based apps, they've put together an that shows how it all looks in your browser (and that's using Enyo 2.0 code to boot).

The beta 2 release for Enyo 2 also includes a new layout library meant to help developers build flexible layouts to fit the available space of  the screen. Considering that Enyo 2.0 is meant to be deployed across multiple platforms and the web, flexibility will be a key component. With new FittableColumns and FittableRows controls, developers will be able to choose a section of their app to expand and contract to fill available space while the rest maintain their sizing. This is all done with minimal JavaScript and CSS styling limitations for developers - it's highly flexible while also seriously lightweight on the processing front.

Apart from layout and UI widgets, the Enyo 2 beta 2 release also includes improved event handling, unstyled base UI controls, and updates to improve performance for Enyo apps on and . The right now - go get it, developers!

      Delivering the First Commercial Implementation of HCA Specification 1.0,
      Company Expands Smart Home Ecosystem Through Partnerships With Other Brands
       
      SEOUL, Aug. 29, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) is set to present the first commercial implementation of the Home Connectivity Alliance’s HCA Specification 1.0, enabling cross-brand appliance connectivity through the LG ThinQ smart home platform. By the end of this year, consumers will be able to control appliances from diverse brands, such as Samsung and Vestel, with the intuitive-to-use ThinQ app, providing seamless interconnectivity and a smarter, more convenient home.
      With a firm commitment to customer experience innovation, LG has joined with other brands to bring the elegant simplicity of cross-brand compatibility to major markets worldwide, including South Korea, the United States and Europe. The partnership will initially cover major appliance product categories, such as washing machines, dryers and dishwashers, and will gradually be expanded to other types of appliances in the future.
      The widespread adoption of HCA Specification 1.0 to development makes it possible to monitor and control various brands’ home appliances and air solutions using a single application. With the ThinQ app, users just have to register their compatible products, and then they’re ready to enjoy the ease and time-saving freedom of one-stop device management. Those with an LG washing machine and a Samsung dishwasher in the home, for example, will no longer have to switch between each manufacturer’s app to set their preferred wash cycle and cleaning settings.
      The arrival of true cross-brand interconnectivity is the realization of the HCA’s vision for a seamlessly unified smart home experience. Founded in January 2022 and comprising a number of smart home solutions manufacturers, the HCA aims to provide cloud-based interoperability between the smart home platforms of its member companies. As a board member of the alliance, LG has been working closely with other appliance makers, including Samsung and Vestel, to drive the adoption of HCA Specification 1.0, with the ultimate goal of enhancing user convenience.
      Committed to expanding the smart home ecosystem, LG has also actively supported the work of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA), a global organization dedicated to developing open communication protocols for smart home devices. LG contributed to the development and standardization of the Matter protocol, an Internet Protocol-based home IoT communications standard led by the CSA.
      “LG ThinQ enables a seamlessly interconnected home appliance ecosystem that will provide new smart home experiences to customers around the globe,” said Jung Ki-hyun, executive vice president and head of platform business center. “LG will continue to expand compatibility between ThinQ and other HCA members’ smart home platforms.”

      I have recently purchased an LG 43UH610T television.  I am located in Bali, Indonesia.  Everything seems to be working fine, but when I click on any of the options, such as LGTV, YouTube etc, it tells me I must first consent to the LG Smart TV user agreement.  However, I then get a message saying "Unable to load user agreements - a server error has occurred ......"
      Can you help?

      I am searching for a wireless outdoor camera to display on my LG TV for my wife to keep an eye on the grandkids in the yard while she's working form home. Does the camera need to support the ThinQ App on the TV? I want to use one camera but don't know what to buy. I have a wireless wifi router in the house, if that helps.
