Samsung’s SmartThings is its Home platform interference, which is energy efficient and uses a lot of other connected devices. Quite different from Apple’s Homekit and Google’s Amazon, SmartThings utilizes all of the compatible products from these companies.

You don’t have a Samsung phone, but want to try out the SmartThings? That’s fine, the mobile app is available on both Andriod and iOS App stores.
