Imagine a home that watches over you, not intrusively, but intelligently, beyond mere convenience. Samsung is quietly turning that vision into reality, crafting a smart living ecosystem where safety and ease go hand in hand from your living room chill to your kitchen thrills.
1. Smart Screens, Smarter Safety
Samsung’s “Screens Everywhere” approach embeds 7- and 9-inch AI Home touchscreens into appliances like fridges, washers, dryers, and ovens. These are more than flashy displays, they serve as centralised command centres for home control, bringing living room functionality into the kitchen, showcasing recipes, checking the weather, and even answering phone calls directly from your appliance. And despite worries about ads creeping in down the line, Samsung currently promises ad-free interfaces, offering utility while avoiding intrusive marketing.
2. From Cooking to Security: Everyday Convenience
In the kitchen, the Family Hub™ and AI Home screens are true workflow companions. The Daily Board provides quick access to your schedule, weather updates, and notes to family members, right where you grab your morning coffee. With AI Vision Inside, the fridge recognises up to 37 fresh ingredients and suggests recipes based on what’s inside and even pushes instructions to your oven or cooktop via SmartThings.
3. Always On Guard: Intelligent Security
Safety isn’t just about locking doors, it’s about awareness. Samsung’s Home AI platform brings intruder detection and monitoring to life. If movement is detected in the living room, the Bespoke Jet Bot Combo™ AI robot vacuum can navigate to that area, use its built-in camera to assess the situation, and send alerts straight to your SmartThings app. In certain cases, it can even notify security services. Meanwhile, Samsung’s Knox and Knox Matrix safeguard your smart home: if one device is compromised, it can be isolated from the network, and you get notified.
4. Quietly Observant: Ambient Sensing for Efficiency & Safety
On the horizon: a home that senses more than we do. Samsung is rolling out ambient sensing capabilities, so devices like TVs, fridges, and speakers can detect motion or sound, adjusting lights, air purifiers, or notifications accordingly. Importantly, all that sensitive data stays locally stored on your SmartThings hub, preserving privacy while enhancing responsiveness.
5. Always Improving: Updates That Add Value
Samsung’s Smart Forward updates bring new life, and safety, to older appliances. Through over-the-air enhancements, even refrigerators from as far back as 2017 now support convenient features like Quick Share (send photos/recipes to your fridge), Buds Auto Switch, and Fridge Call, so you can reply to calls, or continue cooking, without picking up your phone.
6. Stronger, Together: Arlo Integration for Enhanced Security
Samsung hasn’t gone it alone. A recent collaboration with Arlo brings powerful upgrades to SmartThings security. Expect two-way audio between SmartThings and Arlo cameras/doorbells, AI-driven object detection (identifying people, vehicles, or packages), and event snapshot previews, all visible in one place for seamless monitoring.
Why This Matters
• Safe and Intuitive: From robotic sentries to ambient sensors, innovations protect without overwhelming.
• Leveraging What You Already Own: Smart Forward updates boost the value and longevity of older appliances.
• Secure by Design: Knox, local data storage, and intelligent monitoring lend peace of mind.
• Efficiency Meets Elegance: Homes that cook, clean, and respond to you—not just programs.
Samsung’s vision reshapes home life, not by adding more gadgets, but by making appliances feel more intuitive, safe, and seamless. It’s less about sci-fi spectacle and more about living freely, with confidence and connection in every room, especially the living room.
