Samsung has rolled out a major SmartThings update targeting its 470 million registered users globally.
The highlight is SmartThings Now, a new feature at the top of the Home tab that predicts user actions and suggests controls based on daily routines.
SmartThings Now promises contextual automation, but risks app clutter
SmartThings Now builds on Samsung existing Home Insight tool by serving dynamic cards based on location and activity.
For example, if an elderly relative monitored under Family Care shows no device activity, the app prompts caregivers to check in. Arriving near home triggers suggestions to turn on air purifiers, followed by prompts to automate these actions for future visits.
