Samsung’s 2016 TVs Can Control Your Smart Home

Published: January 2, 2016 | By: American Luxury Staff

Samsung is looking to expand beyond the television space and the living room. The brand is working to become a staple in the smart home industry with the announcement of their all-new 2016 smart TVs.

All of the new 2016 smart TVs will be equipped with a SmartThings Hub, Samsung’s platform for home automation. Items that come with a SmartThings Hub can control the rest of the smart home.

Acting as a single platform for a variety of Samsung and third-party devices, the new smart TVs aim to control several different types of smart home devices all through a simple app, thus foregoing the need of individual controllers.

Individual hubs are available for $99 each, but these new TVs are equipped with a hub inside, which means customers won’t have to make a separate purchase.

Other brands compatible with SmartThings include select devices from Yale, Sonos, Philips, and GE.
