SmartThings

Overview

SmartThings is an American home automation company founded in 2012 and based in Mountain View, California. Since becoming a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics in 2014, it has focused on developing automation software, cloud platforms, and client applications for smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). The company was inspired by a personal experience of property damage, leading to the creation of a platform that provides real-time monitoring and control to prevent such incidents.

The platform enables users to monitor, control, and automate a variety of smart home devices through a single app. Key features include centralized device management, custom automation routines, and a cloud platform for seamless device connectivity. Supporting a broad range of devices from Samsung and partner companies, SmartThings adapts to diverse consumer needs and continues to drive innovation in the smart home industry.
