Nuked Hey there, my tech-savvy followers! I’ve got some exciting news for you today. Samsung and Hyundai are joining forces to bring the wonders of SmartThings to your cars. Yes, you heard that right! Samsung’s SmartThings smart home platform will soon be integrated into Hyundai and Kia’s connected car services. This collaboration aims to offer seamless “home-to-car” and “car-to-home” services, as well as an integrated home energy management system. How cool is that?
So, what does this mean for you? Well, imagine being able to control your car’s air conditioning or windows using SmartThings while you’re chilling at home. And guess what? When you’re on the road, you can even control your TV or adjust your home’s air conditioning from the comfort of your car. Oh, and did I mention you can also plug your car into your SmartThings routines? Talk about convenience!
Let me give you a taste of what the future could look like with this collaboration. Picture this: your Galaxy smartphone’s alarm goes off in the morning, and like magic, your curtains open, lights turn on, and the TV springs to life. As you prepare to head out for work, your car adjusts itself to the perfect temperature. Plus, both your smartphone and TV display useful information like your EV’s remaining battery and driving range. Pretty nifty, huh?
But wait, there’s more! Hyundai has an exciting pitch too. Imagine a hot summer evening commute where you activate the “Home Mode” to turn on your air conditioner, air purifier, robot vacuum, and lights before you even step foot in the door. Or how about using the “Away Mode” before leaving home to turn off unnecessary lights, start the robot vacuum for a clean living space when you return, and pre-activate your car’s air conditioning to a comfortable temperature? Sounds like a dream!
Now, before you get too carried away with excitement, I have to be honest with you. This collaboration is still in the early stages, so it might be a while before we can fully embrace the Samsung and Hyundai life. The two companies just signed a memorandum of understanding, and there’s still much work to be done.
But hey, let’s focus on the positives here. The future looks bright with SmartThings in our cars. Although we don’t have all the details yet, it’s safe to say that Hyundai and Kia vehicles will likely support SmartThings. Hyundai has mentioned developing stable service-providing infotainment systems and adding the features through OTA updates and USB-based updates to existing vehicles. So, there’s definitely hope!
So, my friends, keep your eyes peeled for more updates on this exciting collaboration between Samsung and Hyundai. Until then, let’s dream about the endless possibilities of a fully connected home and car experience. Stay tuned!
