Samsung’s Smartthings Home AI promises smarter and more smarter personalized automation
Environmental detection technology will be added to your daily technology to detect what you are doing
In the 2025 event unpacked by Samsung, the Korean technological giant doubled in his vision of “AI for all” by presenting some quite interesting updates for his Smartthings Smart Home ecosystem.
After what was exhibited in the impressive Samsung Ces 2025 stand at the beginning of the month, the unpacking 2025 spilled more beans on how exactly Smartthings will evolve to be more personalized in the coming years.
The new Home AI characteristics aim to create a smarter and more intuitive home that adapts to their lifestyle with very little effort on their part.
The great idea is that your smart home works for you, deep down, using sensors on everyday devices without even needing to know that they are there.
The “Environmental” intelligent home has been the Holy Grail for years … Devils, that is why we call this site what we did.
It is a concept that provides for a domestic environment where technology combines without problems in the background, anticipating its needs and responding to its presence without explicit commands.
And that is exactly what Samsung explained in unpacking.
Magic lies in how Samsung’s connected devices, such as its televisions, music frame speaker and family concentrator refrigerator, will serve as movement and sound sensors.
These devices will collect data on their daily routines, such as exercise habits or when you go to bed, and use that information to optimize the environment of your home.
And what is more, presumably using MMWAVE technology, that detection will become even more complete than ever.
MMWAVE was not mentioned specifically in unpacking, but, in CES 2025 during a tour of the Samsung stand, the head of Smartthings Mark Benson told me how they had been working closely with Aqara with respect to the technology of Radar Mmwave.
Aqara already has a trio of MMWave sensors in the market, which have a precise presence detection that can not only feel when someone is in a room, but where they are in the room and what they are doing … They could even detect their breathing.
In the Smartthings scenario, with hidden sensors in our daily technology, you could exercise in front of your TV, and the system could analyze your movements, guide your shape and suggest the duration of ideal training.
Once it’s over, the sound of a hair dryer could trigger a robot vacuum to clean any fallen hair.
Even your pet can enter the action; Smartthings can detect your dog jumping to the couch and activate an air purifier to address allergens.
Samsung states that this technology goes beyond basic automation, offering conscious context adjustments adapted to you.
If all that sounds a bit intense, and he is concerned that Samsung has access to a completely new wave of detailed personal data, be sure that everything processed by Home AI is stored locally on his smartthings hub, which means that his information staff do not ‘do it’ t leave your home.
This approach contrasts with many cloud -related systems and aims to provide users with tranquility in an era of increased digital surveillance.
Samsung also announced improvements for their map view function with generative AI, which allows users to create a 3D map of their home that includes personalized elements such as furniture and textures.
Updates face a persistent challenge in intelligent home technology: make automation feel natural, not forced. Instead of trusting independent sensors in your home, Samsung’s plan to integrate this functionality into the devices you already use is a simple solution for a complex problem.
Samsung has not revealed if the third -party sensors of the tastes of Aqara, whom I already mentioned, and Meross, who launched a MMWave sensor at the end of last year, can play an important role.
I would be surprised if they did not, since Smartthings is an extremely open platform that is proud of its brand agnostic approach.
These updates will be launched through 2025 and 2026, but there have been no details about which appliances and devices will be involved.
