A Smarter Life with Samsung
Life today moves at a thrilling pace, and keeping up means making the most of what technology can offer. Smart living has quietly evolved from a futuristic fantasy to a present-day possibility – one where everyday moments are made easier, more efficient, and even a little magical. At the heart of this shift is Samsung SmartThings, a connected home platform that’s helping South Africans experience the kind of living that once belonged to sci-fi films – only now, it’s right at your fingertips.
But let’s be clear: smart living isn’t about collecting gadgets for the sake of it. It’s about thoughtful integration – creating a home where your lights, appliances, and routines all speak the same language. While the array of smart devices out there can feel overwhelming, SmartThings pulls everything together in one beautifully cohesive experience. It’s about less stress, more ease – and maybe even a few moments reclaimed from the chaos of daily life.
Think of SmartThings as your home’s digital conductor. It orchestrates your devices – from fridges and thermostats to TVs and light bulbs – into a well-tuned symphony that responds to your needs. With just a few taps or a simple voice command, you can control your space in a way that feels effortless.
Compatible with a wide range of Samsung and third-party devices, SmartThings makes it possible to weave intelligence into the everyday. Whether you’re dimming the lights, adjusting the temperature, or tracking your energy use, it all happens in one intuitive app. And because it’s built to integrate seamlessly with Samsung’s broader ecosystem – from smartphones and smartwatches to TVs – you’re never far from the controls.
Professional gamer, tech enthusiast and television personality Grant Hinds describes his experience with SmartThings as more than a convenience. “SmartThings is more than a smart home platform – it’s a practical ecosystem that adapts to real life. I’ve always believed that tech should simplify, not complicate. What Samsung has done here is take the guesswork out of connected living. Whether you’re managing energy, automating your day, or syncing your lifestyle across devices, it just works. That’s where the power lies – in its quiet efficiency and seamless integration.”
The beauty of SmartThings lies in its ability to slot neatly into your life – no drastic changes required. Here are a few easy, clever ways to make your home work smarter for you:
Light the Way Automatically
Set motion sensors to turn on the lights as you step into a room, and off again as you leave. It’s a small change that makes every arrival feel considered – and saves you from stubbing toes in the dark.
Craft Routines That Know You
Create scenes that gently shape your day – your thermostat easing into your ideal morning temperature, your playlist starting as you walk through the door, or your podcast kicking off with your first coffee. It’s your own rhythm, automated.
Use Less, Save More
Track your appliances’ energy use in real time and schedule them to run during off-peak hours. SmartThings even offers timely tips to help you cut back without compromise.
Keep Things Comfortable and Clean
Smart sensors can maintain a healthy balance of temperature, humidity and air quality – particularly handy during allergy season or when the weather’s playing tricks.
A Home That Looks Out for You
Heading out? Set SmartThings to lock doors, activate security cameras and notify you of any unusual activity. It’s like having a quiet guardian keeping an eye on things.
What makes SmartThings feel truly smart is how naturally it plays with the rest of your Samsung devices. Whether you’re turning up the heat from your Galaxy Watch or switching off the lights from your phone while already in bed, the experience is smooth and intuitive.
Even your Samsung Smart TV becomes more than a screen – it becomes a control panel, a hub, and a responsive part of your home. With your devices working in sync, your home doesn’t just function – it flows.
Of course, there’s more to smart living than convenience. SmartThings can help you live more lightly on the planet, too. By monitoring your home’s energy use and suggesting ways to reduce it, you’re better equipped to make choices that matter – for your wallet and the world.
From adjusting heating and cooling to switching off standby devices, SmartThings gives you the tools to shrink your carbon footprint with minimal effort.
