Samsung SmartThings has entered more than 100000 families in South Korea

CTOnews.com November 9, Samsung announced that the SmartThings Internet of things solution has been used in more than 100000 households in South Korea. SmartThings allows users to control connected devices through their smartphones. Thanks to some automation features, it can also be used to save power.

In November 2020, Samsung used SmartThings for the first time in the Samsung Centro T Raemian Leaders One Building in Seoul's Ruicao district. Later, the SmartThings platform was used in 112 buildings built by 18 construction companies in partnership with POSCO Eternal C, Daewoo Eternal C, Hyundai Eternal C and Kolon Global.

On that basis, Samsung is planning to expand its SmartThings to 250000 families in its 300 complex, which is ready to move in. CTOnews.com learned that the company's vision is to continue to expand SmartThings to partner construction companies.

Households who support SmartThings can use the application to control not only household appliances, but also a variety of other devices, such as lighting, air conditioners and heaters, ventilation, and electric blinds and curtains. It also helps to manage a variety of convenience information and provide device-related information directly on the application.

Thanks to the energy-saving automation function driven by artificial intelligence, power consumption can be reduced. Users can also check electricity consumption and charges, so as to help users use household appliances effectively. It was recently reported that more than 10 million Samsung home appliances are connected to SmartThings, and that number will grow further.
