Samsung collaborates with ABB to strengthen its Home IoT solutions in the residential and commercial construction markets. SmartThings and smart home solutions are combined with SmartThings to provide a more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for controlling and monitoring homes and buildings
Samsung Electronics today announced a partnership with global technology company ABB to expand Samsung SmartThings integration into more homes and buildings.
“With Samsung SmartThings Samsung was able to make homes smarter, more efficient, and less expensive. Chanwoo Park is the Head of IoT Business for Samsung Electronics. “We are excited to build on that by partnering with ABB to expand the SmartThings experience to new customers making it easier for consumers to reduce costs and create positive environmental impact.”
A Smart Partnership
With 130 years of expertise and more than 550,000 products manufactured and sold, ABB is one of the leading technology companies in the world. Its ABB-free@home(r) automation solution controls a host of building equipment including access, detection, communication and climate systems for residential and commercial buildings.
Integrating ABB-free@home(r) with Samsung SmartThings creates a one-stop-shop for IoT solutions providing easy access to monitor and control building technologies, further solidifying Samsung as a key provider of smart home solutions for real estate developers, builders and management groups.
Samsung and ABB will develop a cloud-to-cloud integration allowing consumers of both ABB- free@home(r) and SmartThings broader access and control.
Convenience and Energy Efficiency
With Samsung’s SmartThings platform users can remotely monitor and control ABB devices like sensors, cameras and comfort systems. This allows users to have access to their smart home features anywhere in the world using a single app.
Energy-efficient buildings help reduce energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and cost. Samsung’s and ABB’s integrated energy management system run energy-intensive applications such as refrigerators, dryers or HVAC. with more efficient usage models. Energy and power meters provide users with up-to-date data on energy costs allowing users to strategize appliance usage to reduce overall costs.
And, as buildings are estimated to generate nearly 40 percent of annual global CO2 emissions,1 a smart home integrated with renewable energy equipment, like photovoltaic inverters and chargers from ABB’s lineup can fulfill energy consumption needs while reducing CO2 emissions created from other energy sources.
From the perspective of developers, Samsung and ABB’s partnership offers a scalable, turnkey smart home solution with premium Samsung appliances and ABB devices, which can greatly reduce operational costs through created efficiencies and predictive maintenance services.
