[Video] Football Star Son Heung-Min Showcases How SmartThings Enhances Home Appliances

Home is where the heart is — and Samsung Electronics is committed to helping consumers enhance their at-home experience with Samsung SmartThings, the company’s integrated and expansive multi-device ecosystem. Showcasing how he spends his days off at home, Son Heung-min has teamed up with Samsung to highlight the diverse and innovative features of SmartThings.

At-Home Life Made Easy With Smart Home Appliances

Household chores can be annoying for anyone — even for a football star like Son. With this in mind, Samsung has optimized its home appliances to make cleaning a breeze, allowing consumers to spend less time tidying and more time relaxing.

Before going on a grocery run or preparing a meal, Samsung’s View Inside¹ feature allows users to plan ahead by checking what’s inside their fridge via the Family Hub™ screen or remotely through the SmartThings app.² On laundry day, Bespoke AI™ Washers offer AI Wash Cycle — a smart feature that actively detects load weight, soil level, fabric softness and other factors for perfectly clean clothes every time.³

Additionally, Son demonstrates how easy it is to vacuum with the Bespoke Jet™ AI, equipped with AI Cleaning Mode that provides powerful, optimized cleaning based on cleaning environments,⁴ floor type, for example.

Smart Energy Savings With AI Energy Mode

As more people prioritize an eco-conscious lifestyle, consumers are seeking new ways to be conscious of their environmental impact and reduce their carbon footprint. Through SmartThings, users like Son can easily reduce their energy consumption and monitor their homes’ energy usage in real time.

AI Energy Mode⁵ in SmartThings Energy is a power-saving feature that maximizes energy efficiency when used with select products and cycles such as the Bespoke AI™ Washer and Dryer, Bespoke refrigerator and WindFree™ air conditioner — with up to 70%,⁶ 20%,⁷ 15%⁸ and 20%⁹ energy savings in Europe, respectively.¹⁰

Routines To Match Everyday Life

Users can control their home environments using SmartThings Routines before heading out. With the SmartThings Routines feature, they can preset appliances to be automatically turned on or off during specific times of the day or when certain conditions are met. Son shows how SmartThings switches off the lights and appliances and automatically turns on the Bespoke Jet Bot™ AI+ robot vacuum cleaner when he leaves to go out.

Check out the video below to view how Samsung’s home appliances and SmartThings help Son enjoy his home.
