Samsung Electronics has unveiled a 'Smart Home' service at the CES 2014 event in Las Vegas. The new service gives a single integrated platform to connect and manage your Smart TVs, home appliances and smartphones. The Smart Home service will be commercially rolled out for Samsung appliances and devices in the first half of 2014.
Samsung Smart Home service will enable users to manage and control their home devices through a single application.The application will connect Home and personal devices including Smart TVs, refrigerators, washing machines to digital cameras, smartphones and even its GALAXY Gear smartwatch.
Device Control will let you monitor and control home devices - for example, lights and air-conditioning - via Smart Home apps for mobile devices and TVs. You will be able to do this no matter where you are situated. This lets you define a profile for different occasions, for example leaving your house or going to bed, and have your appliances and lights switched on and off by speaking a related command, such as "Going out." or "Good night!".
Wonpyo Hong, President, Media Solutions Center, Samsung Electronics stated, “With Samsung Smart Home, we are bringing our capabilities as the world’s number-one manufacturer of smart devices to make the connected home a reality for consumers today. In the coming days, we will continue to roll out better home services to our consumers to enable them to keep enjoying a brand-new experience of ‘Smart Living and Beyond.”
