SmartThings

Connected home platform

SmartThings is Samsung's smart home platform, connecting and controlling devices like lights, locks, thermostats, and sensors through a central app or hub.

It works with products from many manufacturers, serving as a unifying system for home automation: I set up SmartThings to turn off the lights when I leave.
