SmartThings with AI

SmartThings is Samsung’s consumer smart home platform that connects TVs, appliances, and other compatible devices into a unified, AI-enhanced home experience. It’s aimed at households that want to control and automate their home environment from one place, with a particular focus on comfort, care for loved ones, and energy efficiency.

You get started by installing the SmartThings app and pairing supported devices such as Samsung TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and other compatible hardware. From there, you can create an “AI-powered home” that responds to your routines—covering areas like care, security, saving time and energy, and entertainment—without needing to write any code.

The standout agentic capability highlighted is AI Energy Mode, which actively controls and optimizes the energy use of connected devices to reduce power consumption and lower bills. The platform also emphasizes four use pillars—Care, Secure, Save, and Play—suggesting it’s built for automated routines that look after family members, secure your environment, manage energy, and control media devices from your phone.

However, the site does not explain which AI models are used, how personalization works under the hood, or how data and privacy are managed. Technical setup details beyond “one app” and “compatible devices” are also light, so you’ll need to consult Samsung’s documentation for specifics on device support, regional availability, and data policies. This is not a developer framework or a business workflow tool; it’s best suited to consumers already invested in or considering Samsung’s device ecosystem. Pricing is not publicly available on this page, and it’s unclear whether any advanced AI features require additional subscriptions or hardware purchases.
