Samsung has officially announced a partnership with Hyundai Motor Group to expand its SmartThings platform to support connected cars, including electric vehicles (EVs). The confirmation came after both companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 3 January to develop solutions for future lifestyles that fully integrate the smart home and connected cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two companies will work together for the next-generation smart home to connect Samsung\u2019s SmartThings with Hyundai and Kia\u2019s connected cars, including EVs to develop the \u201cHome-to-Car\u201d and \u201cCar-to-Home\u201d services, as well as an integrated home energy management service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Home-to-Car and Car-to-Home services connect the smart home with in-vehicle infotainment systems, allowing for remote control in both directions. Through the SmartThings platform, users will be able to perform a variety of actions pertaining to their cars while at home \u2014 starting them, controlling smart air conditioning, opening and closing windows, and checking their charging status. And from cars, the control of home appliances such as TVs, air conditioners and EV chargers will also be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThis collaboration will enable communication from Home-to-Car and integrated home energy management services that are optimized for future lifestyles,\u201d said Chanwoo Park, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics. \u201cBy connecting the SmartThings platform with vehicles, we\u2019ll be able to significantly enhance the customer experience in both the home and the car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users will be able to adjust their environments with SmartThings by simultaneously operating multiple devices \u2014 including vehicles \u2014 through routines such as \u201cgood morning routine\u201d and \u201carriving home routine.\u201d For example, when a Galaxy smartphone\u2019s morning alarm goes off, the curtains will automatically open, and the lights and television will turn on. When users are ready to go out for work, the user\u2019s car will adjust itself to an ideal temperature. Also, the smartphone and TV screens will display information such as the EV\u2019s remaining battery and driving range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is an opportunity to make the connected car\u2019s Car-to-Home and Home-to-Car services more convenient in various fields,\u201d said Haeyoung Kwon, Vice President of Hyundai and Kia\u2019s Infotainment Development Center. \u201cWe plan to accelerate our technology development to continuously make global Hyundai and Kia customers\u2019 journeys meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The integrated home energy management service will allow users to monitor how much energy is consumed by the connected devices in their homes. Energy information of their EVs and chargers will also be available, enabling users to adjust the optimal time for charging their vehicles. EVs connected to the integrated home energy management service offer the possibility of automatically setting the optimal time for charging by factoring in different pricing by time of day, the power demand response (DR) program, photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS) data, and time-specific carbon emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To further strengthen Car-to-Home services, Samsung is working closely with HARMAN, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung Electronics. HARMAN\u2019s \u201cReady Upgrade\u201d is a digital cockpit package product that allows hardware and software upgrades. With Ready Upgrade, users will be able to install SmartThings functions to utilize various Car-to-Home services. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
