Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced an update to its global connected living platform, SmartThings, further enhancing the AI Home experience. SmartThings introduces new features and improvements each quarter to deliver a more convenient and seamlessly connected lifestyle for users.
The highlight of this update is the integration of SmartThings with Samsung Health, designed to improve users’ sleep environments while enabling more personalised automation experiences. The update also expands Calm Onboarding to support a wider range of devices and adds compatibility with the Matter 1.4 standard.
Deborah Honig, Chief Customer Officer, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland, said: “The home should be a sanctuary where our technology is intuitively designed to give our customers value. Our SmartThings platform is the not-so-secret ingredient that enables this — helping you control your products, your energy use and turning your house On and Off at the touch of a button.”
“These latest updates to SmartThings are about real, everyday improvements — from creating a more restful sleep environment by adjusting lighting and temperature automatically based on your sleeping schedule, to sending a voice message through the house via the SmartThings App when you’re running late. It’s all about making smart living feel simple, seamless and truly personal.”
Smarter Sleep Environments with Samsung Health Integration
Sleep environment reports from Samsung Health on Galaxy devices help users create optimal conditions for rest by providing detailed insights into key factors — such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide levels and light intensity — through connected devices and sensors. These reports summarise the previous night’s sleep conditions and offer personalised suggestions for improvement.
When paired with a Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, the latest update enables SmartThings to automatically adjust the environment based on the user’s actual sleep and wake times.[2] For example, routines can be set to turn off lights and the TV at bedtime or to open curtains and play music in the morning.
Greater Flexibility with SmartThings Routines
With the latest update, SmartThings now supports automation routines based on recurring schedules — weekly, monthly or annual — offering added flexibility for a variety of scenarios. For instance, users can automatically change the colour of smart lights to celebrate special occasions like family birthdays.
In addition, SmartThings routines now integrate with Samsung TV Plus on 2025 Samsung TV models. This allows users to include entertainment preferences in their smart home routines — whether it’s setting the TV to turn on the news in the morning or switching to a favourite channel at a preset time to ensure they don’t miss a show.
Broadcasting via SmartThings-Connected Speakers
A new broadcasting feature allows users to send voice messages across SmartThings-connected speakers, making in-home communication more convenient. For example, if a parent is away and sends a voice message through the SmartThings app — “I’ll be home soon, but have a snack from the fridge if you’re hungry” — it will automatically play on the designated home speaker. With real-time message delivery, families can stay connected no matter where they are.
