Samsung Gulf Electronics is pushing significant updates to its SmartThings platform. Leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI), these enhancements introduce advanced features designed to revolutionize home management, energy efficiency, and family care.
The UAE’s smart home market is experiencing rapid growth, with increasing adoption of home automation technologies. Samsung’s latest SmartThings innovations align with this trend, offering intelligent solutions that cater to the evolving needs of modern households.
One of the key highlights is the new Smart Energy Saving feature, which uses AI to automatically activate energy-saving modes without compromising comfort. The Save Energy While Away function detects when residents are out and prompts users to adjust connected devices to minimize energy consumption. These features not only reduce energy costs but also contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle.
SmartThings also introduces new scenarios focused on family care. The Safe and Comfortable Welcome feature prepares the home for arrival by adjusting lighting, temperature, and even activating appliances like air purifiers. Working parents can also utilize SmartThings to ensure their children’s safety and comfort when returning home from school. For pet owners, the Keep Your Pet Safe and Healthy scenario allows for remote monitoring, communication, and feeding.
Security remains a top priority. Samsung’s Knox platform has been enhanced to provide robust protection across all layers of the SmartThings network, safeguarding against cyber threats.
Furthermore, the updated SmartThings platform contributes to broader smart city initiatives. By optimizing energy consumption and providing valuable data, these intelligent homes can play a role in enhancing urban services and contribute to the UAE’s vision for smarter, more sustainable cities.
