As you might have seen chirping about on the Twitters, Pebble, the smartwatch that more than 85,000 backers brought to life on Kickstarter, is running a one-day #WearableWednesday promo today highlighting the most useful, elegant, and stylish smart sensors on the market. Among the items featured is our SmartSense Presence sensor–specifically our three-pack, which comes at a 12% discount compared to purchasing three individual Presence sensors.

presence-blogSo what makes this teeny-tiny device so smart?  Easy: It offers equal parts peace of mind and convenience. Just put it on a keychain; place it in a purse, backpack, or glove compartment; or attach it to your dog’s collar and it can send you a push or text notification whenever a person, pet, or car arrives and leaves home.

Peace of Mind
• Know when your child comes home from school.
• Get an alert if your teen isn’t back before curfew.
• Know if your husband or wife is rolling up to the driveway.
• Be notified if Barkley leaves the house unexpectedly.
• Trigger a beep to find where you left your keys (if attached to a keychain).

Things get really smart when you combine the SmartSense Presence sensor with other SmartThings devices:

Convenience
• Have a smart lock?
Doors will automatically unlock and lock when you come and go.

• Have a smart outlet?
Lights will turn on and off when you step into and out of a room.

• Have outdoor lights?
Automatically light your path at night from the driveway to the door when you get home.

Want to integrate your Pebble watch with SmartThings?
Easy. Here’s how:

1) Make sure your Pebble and phone are paired properly.

2) In your iOS Settings, go to Notification Center –> SmartThings –> Show on Lock Screen

3) In the SmartThings Dashboard, set up alerts in our Home & Family section to text when people come and go. That way, any text or push messages you get for SmartThings will show up on your Pebble watch screen.

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.
