Samsung is bringing ambient sensing to SmartThings


Now your vacuum knows when you’re drying your hair.

This ambient sensing will use motion and sound sensors in Samsung appliances to suggest automations and experiences based on wellness, security, energy savings, and entertainment. It will enable SmartThings to “recognize you and understand your daily activities like cooking, exercising, sleeping, etc., so your home can create the perfect environment for you,” according to Samsung. Samsung didn’t state exactly what type of technology it’s using in its sensors, but from the specific motion detections mentioned, it’s likely to be mmWave radar sensing, which is becoming popular in the smart home in devices from Aqara and Meross.
