Samsung plans to add support for the SmartThings platform to all of its smart TV products in 2016, and it can also be used as a smart home control hub for departmental flagship smart TV products. In other words, these smart TVs supporting the SmartThings platform may not only be connected to Samsung smart phones, but also include smart devices such as smart light bulbs, thermostats, cameras, and motion sensors that support the SmartThings platform, and users can unify smart TVs. The user interface controls it.
Samsung has already indicated that it will display its new smart TV products at CES 2016, which will be opened next month. By then, we will see smart TVs as a showcase of smart home control center functions.
Coincidentally, in addition to Samsung, another Korean electronics giant also said its WebOS system will also add control of smart home. It is reported that LG will add a function called IoTV to 2016 smart TVs, which can manage all smart home devices in the home through the latest WebOS 3.0 system. The user can also directly control the air conditioner in the home through the TV.
Of course, whether it is Samsung or LG, the essence of this feature is still the war on the smart home platform. The products that currently support SmartThings platform have exceeded 200 kinds. For LG, the future will also put more effort on the platform. Compatibility. I believe at the CES next month, we will see Samsung and LG's specific display of this feature.
