From Sci-Fi to Wi-Fi: the magic of IoT and Samsung devices

[Discover]

Imagine being the person whose coffee brews itself before you roll out of bed, your lights dim when it’s Netflix time and your front door practically waves at you when you walk through it. With Samsung SmartThings and the Internet of Things (IoT) at your fingertips, this is what your reality can look like in 2025 – and it’s easier to set up than you think!

What is IoT and what does it do for you?
The Internet of Things is just a fancy way of saying, “let’s get all your smart gadgets talking to each other.” By unlocking the power of IoT you can get all the smart devices in your home - your TV, fridge, security cams, and more - to sync up and function exactly how you want them to.

One of the coolest aspects of IoT is that it grants you effortless control of your home appliances. Adjust your lights, your thermostat and even start your washing machine - all with a simple tap or voice command. Feeling extra? Just tell Bixby, Google Assistant or Alexa what you need, and voilà.

IoT also offers you improved home monitoring - like the ability to check what’s in your fridge from your couch – and the creation of automated routines that allow you to customise your house to your moods and schedules. Want to go to bed in a perfectly dark bedroom but wake up to beautiful rays of morning sunlight? Automated blinds for the win!

But how do I set it up?
To begin setting up your own IoT smart home, just download the SmartThings app on your Android or iOS smartphone, Samsung TV , Galaxy Book or tablet and start connecting your devices like the tech wizard you are.

Smartphone, Galaxy Book and tablet users are able to control their whole home from the SmartThings app, whereas smart TV users can use the SmartThings Dashboard to manage all their devices on the big screen.

Life’s too short to waste time flipping switches and wondering if you set the dishwasher off before you walked out the door. With the power of SmartThings and IoT, your home adapts to YOU - not the other way around.

So, what’s the first home appliance you’re going to link-up with IoT? Drop a comment below and let’s work towards our ideal smart homes out together!
