All of Samsung’s 2016 Smart TV lineup will be Internet of Things ready and connected with the SmartThings platform. SmartThings is an open platform that allows you to connect, manage and control smart devices and Internet of Things (IoT) services. Among the 2016 Smart TV lineup, all Samsung’s 2016 SUHD TVs will apply IoT Hub technology. This allows the TV itself to act as the controller for the entire smart home. SUHD TVs can connect with and control Samsung devices and SmartThings sensors as well as over 200 other SmartThings compatible devices. These include everything from connected lights and locks to thermostats and cameras, from a wide range of high quality third party manufacturers. Compatible devices include D-Link Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Camera, Honeywell Lyric Thermostat, Kwikset Connected Touchscreen Deadbolt, Cree Connected LED Bulbs, and much, much more. For the full support of connectivity with SmartThings compatible devices, SmartThings Extend USB adaptor is required.
