“Samsung Home Hub brings seamless connectivity to the smart home and makes users’ lives easier by understanding their preferences and setting their home devices and smart appliances up accordingly,” said Hyesoon Yang, Executive Vice President and Head of Customer Experience at the Digital Appliances Business of Samsung Electronics. “The connectivity of our devices and the Samsung Home Hub’s intuitive interface allow everyone in the home to get through their to-do list quickly.”

Connecting a Broader Range of Devices

With Samsung Home Hub connecting to smart home appliances in every corner of the home, you can now manage your daily routine, handle chores and take care of your house, all on a single device. As a home controller, it gives you a sweeping view of your entire connected home and allows you to stay on top of everything seamlessly.

From launch, Samsung Home Hub will be able to connect to every product within the SmartThings ecosystem, including your Samsung smart appliances. Soon, you will also have direct connectivity to other devices in your smart home system, such as your lights and door lock system.

Customized Experiences With AI and SmartThings

For the first time ever, a broad array of customized, AI-based SmartThings services have been united and can be controlled from one dedicated device with the Samsung Home Hub. These SmartThings services fall under the categories of Cooking, Clothing Care, Pet, Air, Energy and Home Care Wizard.

To make dinner time easier, SmartThings Cooking allows you to conveniently search for, plan, purchase and prep weekly meals with Family Hub.  When it’s time to do the laundry, SmartThings Clothing Care connects to appliances like the Bespoke Washer and Dryer and the Bespoke AirDresser and provides customized care options based on your garments’ material types, your usage patterns and the current season. What’s more, SmartThings Pet allows you to check in on your pet with the smart camera on the Bespoke Jet Bot AI+ and adjust settings on appliances like the air conditioner to make the environment more comfortable for your pet.

Meanwhile, SmartThings Air can provide automatic dehumidification and connect with air conditioners and air purifiers to manage the air quality in your home according to your preferences. To help you save on energy costs, SmartThings Energy¹ on the Samsung Home Hub analyzes your usage patterns² and uses its AI-equipped power saving mode to help reduce your energy bills. And to stay on top of it all, SmartThings Home Care Wizard monitors all of your smart appliances, sends you notifications when parts need to be replaced and offers guidance if something goes wrong.

Elevated Usability With Bixby

Samsung Home Hub is an exclusive 8.4-inch tablet that can be operated from its dock or used on the go around the home. For voice control, the Samsung Home Hub has two microphones and two speakers to allow you to easily hear notifications and use Bixby voice commands. If you have a question, just ask Bixby. Featuring high-performance microphones, the Samsung Home Hub can pick up verbal commands spoken from the broader room when docked.

In recognition of its innovativeness, Samsung Home Hub received a CES Innovation Award from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) ahead of CES 2022.

Samsung Home Hub will be available in Korea in March, and globally after that.

Over the past year, we have been spending more time at home with more people doing more things under one roof. For some, this has meant that home management – keeping everything running smoothly and clean – has become quite complicated.

This ‘new normal’ way of living has driven the need for an ecosystem of products, IoT solutions, and digital services that streamline daily routines and help us run our homes more efficiently through automation and smart recommendations.

At Bespoke Home 2021, Samsung introduced SmartThings services that are already available or will become available in 2021, helping to make life at home seamless and free up more time and energy for the things that matter.

SmartThings Cooking

Whether out of curiosity or necessity, many of us have upgraded our cooking game this past year.

SmartThings Cooking can help upgrade your culinary journey by seamlessly integrating your kitchen experience from meal prep to shopping. Powered by Whisk’s Food AI, SmartThings Cooking learns your unique tastes, preferences, and nutritional goals to curate personalized recipe recommendations and meal plans. By understanding your favorite ingredients or devices and groceries you have on hand, the service suggests recipes you will like, guides you through the planning, shopping, and cooking processes — all while communicating directly with your smart Samsung kitchen appliances.

If you own a Family Hub, SmartThings Cooking can link with your fridge’s ViewInside cameras. Using AI food recognition capabilities, the cameras can automatically scan the products inside your fridge and identify them. You can view this on your Family Hub screen.¹

An automatic Meal Planner recommends meals for the week and generates shopping lists for missing ingredients. If you like, you can then connect directly to online grocery retailers for checkout straight from your smartphone.

When you’re ready to start cooking, SmartThings Cooking becomes your sous-chef as your Samsung appliances communicate directly with each other. SmartThings Cooking will send recipe data straight to your smart range or oven to make sure that your settings are entered precisely, giving you one less thing to worry about. Bon appetite!

SmartThings Clothing Care

Although suits and formal wear don’t get worn as much as they used to, we still fill hampers on a daily basis. SmartThings Clothing Care, which works with smart Samsung washers and dryers, as well as the new Bespoke AirDresser, provides three key services so you can sort it all out with ease.

The service can recommend cycles for your wash based on garment materials, your usage patterns, weather, and season.

SmartThings Clothing Care also keeps track of the detergent levels in your washer and features a Smart Reorder² function that helps you manage and purchase laundry supplies by placing orders online.

Starting in the second half of 2021,³ custom cycles are also easy to manage with SmartThings Clothing Care. You can store up to ten custom cycles and name them yourself, so if you have a penchant for delicate vintage clothes or leather you can save separate options for each of them.

SmartThings Air

With parents, kids, pets and roommates running around the house, it’s critical to stay aware of air quality in various parts of the home as well as outside.

SmartThings Air gives you important information about air quality in each part of your home, and even outside.

SmartThings Air can suggest helpful tips and even automate settings that activate synced air conditioners, air purifiers, air sensors, and window sensors to manage your surrounding air quality.⁴ Breathe easy with real-time air quality alerts and functions that are tailored to your needs while SmartThings Air gives you the information you need to ensure your home’s ventilation and air circulation are in check.

SmartThings Pet

If you’ve ever wished you had a way to keep an eye on your pet while you’re away, SmartThings Pet is the service for you.

When in Pet Care Mode, the service uses the camera on Samsung’s Jet Bot AI+* robot vacuum to record videos of your pet whenever it comes into view, and send those videos to you in real time. The Jet Bot AI+* is powered by Intel AI, and can learn to recognize your pet.

In addition, the service can connect to other SmartThings devices in your home including air conditioners, lights, air purifiers and more, letting you change the settings remotely to make your pet as comfortable as possible, even when you’re not at home.

The events of the past year have brought great change to our everyday lives. Lockdowns have required many of us to spend more time at home, and transformed our homes themselves into classrooms, offices and even gyms. This trend has led to greater demand for appliances that cater to multifunctional spaces, as well as devices that make it easy to keep our homes safe and hygienic.

Read on to find out how Samsung’s Bespoke appliances, introduced at the company’s recent ‘Bespoke Home 2021’ event, can help address those needs.

Get More Use Out of Your Space

More than four in ten European consumers reported in a recent Samsung survey that they are doing things at home these days that they would not have done previously.¹ In order to accommodate those new activities, households require appliances that are flexible and make sure homes are kept safe from pollutants.

Samsung Bespoke air purifier: Indoor air quality is an important thing to consider when trying to squeeze more functionality out of spaces with poor ventilation. This becomes all the more important given the fact that 47 percent of Americans in a Samsung survey reported that they are creating new wellness spaces in their homes, mainly in basements, living rooms and bedrooms.² This can be a concern, as concentrations of some pollutants can be two to five times higher in indoor air compared to outdoor air according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.³

Samsung’s new Bespoke air purifier pulls in air from five directions to make sure that the air around you is fresh, and connects to SmartThings Air to make it easy to maintain your household’s air quality remotely. If you have a furry companion, use Pet mode to increase airflow in Low mode by 20 percent⁴ to capture hard-to-see pet hairs more effectively. The smart Bespoke air purifier has a four-step filtration system and is tested by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers(AHAM).⁵

The Bespoke air purifier will be available in the U.S. in a choice of gray and deep green models later this year. Whether you are meditating, doing burpees or just enjoying some peace and quiet, make sure you’re breathing fresh air with the Bespoke air purifier.

Samsung Bespoke Cube refrigerator: Groceries aren’t the only things we need to store at cool temperatures. As consumers spend more time at home, they require more specialized storage for items like wine and cosmetics. The Samsung Bespoke Cube refrigerator is designed to meet these needs, with a compact form that can be placed anywhere, as well as precise temperature settings, ranging from five to 18 degrees Celsius, which can be optimized based on whatever is being stored inside – whether it be wine, beer, cosmetics, supplements, or even pet food. The unit is also quiet, which means you can place it in your bedroom or study without worrying about noise.

Keeping Your Home Hygienic

The events of the past year have brought concerns about household hygiene to the forefront. However, with people constantly moving about in the house, trying to keep everything safe and hygienic can feel overwhelming. Samsung’s home appliances offer convenient solutions in this area by making it easier to protect your home from various pollutants.

Samsung Bespoke Jet: Samsung’s latest Jet stick vacuum makes cleaning a breeze with its all-in-one Clean Station and charging dock.

Once you finish vacuuming and dock your Samsung Bespoke Jet, it utilizes Samsung’s patented Air Pulse technology to empty out the dustbin while recharging the battery. The all-in-one Clean Station in the new Bespoke Jet features an Advanced Filtration System that traps 99.999% of fine dust and allergens.⁶

The device’s Digital Inverter Technology enables it to offer up to 210 watts of suction power⁷ for top-tier performance, while its best-in-class lightweight design maximizes portability, weighing in at roughly 2.5 kilograms and featuring a Slim Action Brush. The combination of less hassle, less strain, and three beautiful Bespoke colors will change the way you vacuum your home.

Samsung Bespoke water purifier: The Bespoke water purifier is the smart new way to keep clean, filtered water at your fingertips. The device is modular, allowing you to choose whether you would like one or two faucets, and whether you would prefer only room temperature water filtration or hot/cold filtration as well.⁸ These modules fit under your sink to save countertop space, and the faucets come in a beautiful Bespoke design that offers a choice of six colors.

The Samsung Bespoke Water Purifier has had a total of 73 filtration claims certified by NSF International, and comes with an Auto Clean feature that drains and cleans the connected water pipes every few days to make sure there is no buildup. The purifier can notify users on their smartphone when the filter needs to be changed, and it also features a smart faucet that allows you to choose exactly how much water you need and the temperature you’d like.

Samsung Bespoke ShoeDresser: Samsung’s ShoeDresser is a first-of-its-kind innovation in the world of home shoe care. Using the same JetAir technology as the AirDresser, a UV deodorizing filter and a xenon UV lamp, the ShoeDresser is capable of deodorizing, dehumidifying and removing bacteria from your shoes.⁹

Samsung Bespoke AirDresser: Samsung’s garment care device, the AirDresser, will now be available in Bespoke colors. Utilizing powerful JetSteam technology, the AirDresser refreshes clothes, bedding, soft toys and more, and is certified by Intertek to remove more than 99 percent of viruses, household dust mites, bacteria and other substances.¹⁰ The Samsung Bespoke AirDresser also comes with a new humidity sensor that more accurately reads humidity levels inside the device to reduce cycle times by approximately 15 percent.¹¹ You can also link your AirDresser to SmartThings to automatically receive cycle recommendations based on what you’re washing, and even set your AirDresser automatically once your wash cycle is done.
