Let’s face it, laundry isn’t exactly thrilling. What if it could be easier, faster, and actually kind of satisfying?  With SmartThings, your Samsung washer and dryer get a serious upgrade. From real-time updates to remote control and energy savings, SmartThings makes laundry day feel less like a chore and more like a life hack.

Stay Connected to Every Load

SmartThings has your back (and basket), whether you’re on the couch or running errands, SmartThings keeps you in the loop. Get real-time notifications when a cycle starts, pauses, or finishes, so you’re never left wondering if the laundry’s done. If a load needs attention (like when it’s been sitting too long after drying), SmartThings will send you a gentle nudge before your clothes go from fresh to funky. It’s like having a laundry buddy who never forgets!

Customize Cycles to Fit Your Needs

Forget digging through manuals or pressing buttons at random. SmartThings makes it easy to tailor your washer and dryer settings, helping you choose the perfect cycle based on your load type, size, and fabric. Beyond choosing the temperature and spin intensity, select optimized cycles directly in the app based on your fabric type, load size, or soil level.

Here are just a few examples of features and cycles:

  • Activewear: Designed for jersey and moisture-wicking gym clothes
  • Bedding: Designed for bulky sheets and comforters
  • Baby Care: Gently sanitize clothes at a high temperature
  • Fabric Specific Cycles: Wool, Denim, Delicates, a custom cycle based on the fabrics within
  • Wrinkle Prevent: Optional setting to keep clothes wrinkle-free for up to three hours
  • Damp Alert: Be notified for the optimal time to iron clothes right out of the dryer
  • Eco-modes: Energy-saving mode that balances performance and efficiency
  • Unemptied Laundry Alerts: We all forget clothes sometimes, but now you can be reminded up to 24 hours to remove your clothes from the washer or take them out for folding
  • Sensor Dry: Automatically adjusts time based on moisture levels

You can even save your combinations, so your go-to routines are ready with one tap.

Prevent and Diagnose Issues Before They Disrupt Your Day

Your washer and dryer are smart, and with SmartThings, they practically think for themselves.  SmartThings makes troubleshooting easy, becoming a proactive experience. Not only can you select maintenance modes to help keep your washer and dryer clean, but SmartThings can also alert you to performance issues and guide you through self-diagnosis steps, often before you even realize there’s a problem. This helps prevent breakdowns and saves you time (and service calls).

Control Laundry From Anywhere, Anytime

Running late? Mid-binge watch on your favorite show? Cozy in bed? No problem.  Start, stop, or monitor your washer and dryer directly from your phone, and even schedule cycles to run when energy rates are lower or it’s simply more convenient. It’s smarter laundry on your terms, saving time, energy, and hassle.

Built-In Intelligence

SmartThings doesn’t just connect your appliances, it helps them work smarter together. For example, it can recommend optimal drying settings based on the type of wash cycle you just completed. Washed a load with Heavy Duty mode? SmartThings will recommend the best dryer settings to match. The result? Better fabric care and less guesswork.

It’s time to bring smarter care to your clothes—and a little more free time back in your day. Download the SmartThings app and connect your Samsung washer and dryer to unlock the full potential of your laundry room.

SmartThings, Samsung, and the Open Platform

Friends, Today is a big day for SmartThings. I’m excited to announce that SmartThings has been acquired by Samsung and will operate as an independent company within Samsung’s Open Innovation Center group. It has always been our goal to create a totally open smart home platform that brings together third-party developers, device makers, and consumers. We’re thrilled that Samsung fully supports this vision. We will continue to run SmartThings the way we always have: by embracing our community of customers, developers, and device makers and championing the creation of the leading open platform for the smart home. Our growing team will remain fully intact and will relocate to a new headquarters in Palo Alto, CA. In short: SmartThings will remain SmartThings. (more…)

The Next Generation of SmartThings is Here

We’re excited to announce that the next generation of the Samsung SmartThings Hub, a new lineup of products, and a brand-new SmartThings app experience is available today. Our mission has always been to create the easiest way for people to turn their home into a smart home. In fact, we started SmartThings out of a desire to know the answer to a basic but deeply personal question: is everything OK in my home.  We believe our latest product evolution delivers on this ambition. Here's a look at what's new and improved: The New Samsung SmartThings Hub and Sensors The new Hub enables video streaming, has battery backup that lasts up to 10 hours, and can run certain functions locally to improve performance and continue to operate without an internet connection. The Hub will continue to support ZigBee, Z-Wave, and local internet connected devices. Two USB ports and embedded Bluetooth will support future expansion. The new collection of Samsung SmartThings sensors are now smaller and have been redesigned with a sleeker, more contemporary look to fit seamlessly into the background of your home. The New SmartThings App Experience The free SmartThings app has been redesigned for easier navigation and a more intuitive experience.  You can now directly organize and control your connected devices by room, view live streaming from cameras, quickly set up and run routines, explore the marketplace of nearly 200 devices now compatible with SmartThings, and so much more. One of the exciting new features of the SmartThings app experience is Smart Home Monitor– an integrated home monitoring solution. Smart Home Monitor allows you to receive alerts and take action when SmartThings detects unwanted entry or motion, smoke or fire, leaks, or other important activity. Existing customers will be able to configure Smart Home Monitor from their dashboard within 24 hours after downloading the updated app. With Smart Home Monitor, our Hub version 2, and a connected camera, you can also get instant alerts with an accompanying video-clip when these unexpected events occur.  Video buffering in the new hub means clips can start prior to the event so you can see exactly what is happening in your home. Video clips will eventually be a premium feature within Smart Home Monitor but are available in beta as a free trial through 2015. After the free trial, a premium version of Smart Home Monitor, which includes video clips, will be available for $4.99 per month. Live streaming will always be free. The new SmartThings app will be available for free download on iOS and Android starting today, with Apple Watch, and Gear S apps to follow. Be sure to check out our post for a more in-depth look at the app’s new features. We would like to extend our heart-felt thanks to our customers, supporters, and developer community. Your commitment, feedback, and ideas are what make our open platform truly special. We hope you you enjoy the new SmartThings experience.
