With the release of One UI 7 stable update, Samsung has also been rolling out new features and enhancement capabilities to its products and apps. Just previously, we shared with you that the brand has upgraded its Good Lock app with new customization features.
Apart from this, the brand has also released a major upgrade for SmartThings to deliver a more seamless connected lifestyle for users.
According to Jaeyeon Jung, Executive Vice President and Head of SmartThings at Samsung Electronics, “SmartThings’ latest update represents our ongoing efforts to make the smart home more intuitive, connected, and personalized. Weˈre excited to continue pushing the boundaries of smart home innovation by empowering users through enhanced personalization and automation, including sleep wellness.”
SmartThings: New update
Smarter Sleep environments with Samsung Health Integration
When paired with a Galaxy Watch or Galaxy Ring, the latest update enables SmarThings to automatically adjust the environment based on the user’s actual sleep and wake times. 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.
Smart Things routines
SmartThings now supports automation routines based on recurring schedules- weekly, monthly, or annual- offering added flexibility for a variety of scenarios. For example, users can automatically change the color of smart lights to celebrate special occasions like family birthdays. 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, like setting the TV to turn on news in the morning or switching to a favorite channel at a preset time.
Broadcasting via SmartThings- Connected speakers
A new broadcasting feature allows users to send voice messages across SmartThings connected speakers. For example, if a parent is away and sends a voice message through the SmartThings app, it will automatically play on the designated home speaker.
Expanding Calm Onboarding to more devices
In the latest SmartThings update, Samsung is expanding Calm Onboarding beyond its products to include compatible third-party smart home devices. Users who purchase SmartThings-compatible smart home devices directly from Samsung.com will now receive purchase and delivery updates within the app.
Additionally, users will receive step-by-step onboarding instructions to simplify product setup. The rollout will begin in Korea, with plans to expand to other countries.
Matter 1.4 support
SmartThings expands its support for Matter 1.4. The latest version of the standard includes a wide range of energy management devices such as water heater, heat pump, solar power device, battery storage device, mounted on/off control switch and mounted dimmable load control device. These newly supported device categories build on existing popular devices like lights, thermostats, switches, air conditioners, air purifiers, fans, door locks and more.
