Samsung’s new smart home features include household maps with ‘AI characters’


Samsung announced a few additions to its smart devices platform, SmartThings, at the company's CES 2024 keynote.

During its CES 2024 keynote in Las Vegas this evening, the company announced a range of additions to — and capabilities for — its SmartThings home automation platform. A new dashboard screen, Now Plus, is headed to select Samsung TVs, programmed to turn on as you approach to display info about smart home devices and stats like the current indoor temperature. In a cute (or creepy, depending on your point of view) touch, the new SmartThings maps show “AI characters” that stand in for family members and pets inside the home.
