Samsung has rolled out significant updates to its SmartThings app, introducing advanced home automation capabilities aimed at boosting sales of its smart home devices. The app now features an updated ‘Routines’ function, allowing users to schedule tasks like turning off lights or changing TV channels. New integrations with Samsung Health enable sleep tracking that interacts with home routines. Additionally, the app supports more devices through the Matter 1.4 standard, including water heaters and solar devices. Users can also send voice messages to connected speakers, a feature previously lacking in Samsung's ecosystem.
