The App that gives you control while quietly transforming your everyday life.
We live in an era where, in addition to convenience, people seek comfort, safety, and peace of mind. The Samsung SmartThings app delivers all of that, and more. More than just a smart home app, SmartThings has evolved into an intelligent lifestyle assistant. Working in the background to simplify life, SmartThings is helping us care for our loved ones, human or furry, and make our homes more responsive to who we are and how we live.
From supporting pet owners with peace of mind while they’re away, to empowering elderly family members to live independently with dignity, SmartThings is redefining what it means to live in a connected home. It’s no longer just about automation but about meaningful, everyday support.
With SmartThings, you discover a new way to enjoy your home, turning it into a smart, thoughtful home. Powered by AI, automation, and seamless integration across Samsung devices and compatible third-party gadgets, SmartThings creates a home that adapts to your needs.
Let’s explore how SmartThings is quietly reshaping real lives across various moments and milestones.
Pet Care – When you’re away, SmartThings stays close
Whether you’re a dog-dad rushing to work or a cat-mom on a weekend getaway, SmartThings can help you stay connected to your pets and their wellbeing.
- Set automated feeding times using connected smart feeders.
- Use sensors and cameras to get instant alerts if your pet sneaks into the pantry or opens the front door.
- Adjust the room temperature remotely to keep your pet comfy during heat waves or cold fronts.
- Treat your pet from afar using smart treat dispensers you can control via voice or app.
Elderly Assistance – Supporting Independence Safely
For families with elderly loved ones living alone or in care facilities, SmartThings offers peace of mind and practical support – without intruding on their independence.
Devices that include a built-in SmartThings Hub include: Samsung TVs (models released after 2022: QN900*/ QN800*/ QN700*/ QN95*/ S95*/ QN90*/ QN85*/ Q80*/ Q70*/ Q60*/ *U8/ The Serif / The Frame / The Sero), Smart Monitors (Models M50* or higher for models released after 2022), Sound Bars (HW-Q990* and HW-LS60* for models released after 2022), Family Hub refrigerators (USA after 2017 and Korean release models, excluding RH9000), SmartThings Stations, and SmartThings Hubs v2/v3. For 2022 or earlier models, a separate accessory called a SmartThings Dongle is required to connect Thread and Zigbee devices. Most models after 2023 have a built-in SmartThings Dongle, so a separate accessory is not required. Please check the detailed information about each product.
To use SmartThings, download the App from the Galaxy Store, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store. The SmartThings App requires Android OS 10↑ with a minimum of 3GB RAM space or iOS 15↑. Supported OS specifications and app screen configuration may change with app updates.
- Motion sensors can track activity and notify family if there is no movement in the morning for example.
- Smart buttons allow older users to call for help with a single press.
- Voice commands and automated routines make it easier to control lights, call family, or adjust blinds – ideal for people with mobility issues.
- Medication reminders and evening lighting routines help establish structure and reduce the risk of accidents.
With SmartThings, elderly care becomes less about constant monitoring and more about empowerment.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
The SmartThings Energy dashboard makes it possible to track appliances that use a lot of energy, and helps your home optimise them for you.
- Monitor energy use across connected devices.
- Set up “Away” routines to switch off unused appliances and lights when you’re not home.
- Use AI to optimise air-conditioning or heating based on room occupancy and outside weather.
- Even better, shift high-energy appliances like washing machines to run during off-peak hours to save money and reduce grid load.
SmartThings is turning sustainability from a responsibility into an easy lifestyle habit.
Security – Because Peace of Mind Matters Most
SmartThings offers a robust set of features that help keep your home and the people in it secure. Sync with smart locks and door sensors6 to get notified if a door is opened unexpectedly. SmartThings lets you monitor live feeds from your smart cameras in real-time, whether you’re in the next room or across the country. You can also automate lights to switch on at sunset, even when you’re not home, to deter would-be intruders. It’s like having a personal security assistant, working 24/7 in the background.
Emotional Wellness and Daily Flow – Your Home, Your mood
SmartThings doesn’t just automate, it harmonises. With custom routines, it helps create intentional moments of calm or energy depending on what your day demands. From creating a “Wind Down” routine that dims the lights, lowers the thermostat, and plays ambient sounds or calming music, to connecting with meditation apps that help your home’s environment adjust to you.
SmartThings is quietly building homes that are intelligent and compassionate – homes that notice, help, and adapt. Whether you’re looking out for your golden retriever, your grandmother, your toddler, or just trying to make life run a bit more smoothly, SmartThings offers a universe of connected possibilities.
Things to note:
- Only dogs and cats can be recognized. The recognition capabilities may be limited by the posture or position of a pet. The ability to recognize your pet may vary depending on the type of animal and the living environment. It only recognizes a pet presence based on generic visual indicators and cannot identify individual pets.
- The availability of SmartThings Pet Care’s monitoring feature may vary by region and is only supported on the Jet Bot Combo AI and Jet Bot AI+ model.
- SmartThings is integrated with advanced connected sensors.
