AI is already knocking on the kitchen door: SmartThings as the driving force of the 21st century household

Artificial intelligence is far from a science fiction phenomenon: we can rely on it in our daily routines. The connectivity of our home’s device park can significantly improve our user experience, and even offer us a new, more comfortable, economical, and colorful lifestyle. Managing our household, the eternal cycle of everyday tasks such as shopping, cooking, washing and cleaning is a defining element of our lives. Today, however, we have the opportunity to rationalize these processes in order to save time and energy, and not even the thought of completing tasks or the thought of what remains to be done weighs on us as an oppressive burden. With the help of the SmartThings application, we can increase the efficiency of our household appliances by creating a smart home where we can control our connectable household appliances and other compatible electronic devices with a central device – smartphone, tablet, smart TV or even our refrigerator – and last but not least: we can optimize our energy consumption. SmartThings can make many of our routines easier, and can be a good service in the field of daily tasks. For example, while cooking, we can make or receive phone calls hands-free (and hassle-free) using the app[1] [2] through the screen of our Samsung Family Hub™ refrigerator. We can schedule the laundry to run when we get home, or we can start the air conditioner remotely so we come home to a cooled home on a hot summer day. SmartThings can even help us take care of our pets: when we are away, for example, by turning on the lights, TV or vacuum cleaner, we can create a safe and calm environment for our pets.
