When Samsung imagines the homes of the future, it imagines them filled with smart devices, be they TVs, security cameras, lights, you name it. All of these devices will be monitored and controlled by an integrated platform. That platform is called Samsung Smart Home, and the company is working to make that future a reality.
The problem with most connected home products is that the reality usually doesn’t live up to the name. It’s not your whole home that’s connected—your Wi-Fi scale talks to one app, while your lights are controlled by a different app. So is that fancy smart smoke detector. Samsung wants to change this with Samsung Smart Home, an integrated platform that will let you connect and control all your smart devices (TVs, appliances, lights, security cameras, you name it) from a single Smart Home application. The electronics giant announced Samsung Smart Home on Sunday, one day before its press conference at CES 2014, and plans to roll out the product during the first half of this year.
