A smart home is an efficient home. That's because platforms like Samsung SmartThings unify all your connected devices — smart locks, lights, outlets, thermostats, appliances, and more — under one seamless system that's easy to manage and monitor. With Samsung SmartThings Hub, homeowners and renters can receive important notifications about what's happening in and around their home and remotely control security, energy usage and lighting. Better yet, with the SmartThings app and Samsung's Bespoke AI home appliances, users can access and control these features from virtually anywhere — whether it's starting or stopping the washer and dryer, checking how much milk is left in the fridge, answering the doorbell or receiving important notifications about what's happening in your home. SmartThings eliminates the hassle of juggling multiple platforms and apps, offering a truly connected home experience.
SmartThings Energy can not only help reduce power consumption but also create savings for customers. As a result, SmartThings Energy changes the game for builders, providing new opportunities to attract clients and help increase buying and leasing velocity. That could mean fewer devices, cheaper operations, happier residents and higher value. Here's why.
What is SmartThings Energy?
Whether it's for financial, environmental or other reasons, finding ways to reduce energy use while maintaining effective performance can be worthwhile. SmartThings Energy helps make that happen in an intuitive, efficient and achievable way. Through the downloadable app available on Android and iOS devices, it's possible to track, monitor and control your home's energy usage — even minute by minute. That's because the app pulls it all into a central dashboard manageable by device or appliance, no matter the location. With this information literally at the fingertips, it can be easy for customers to make the most informed decisions about energy use.
For example, homeowners can monitor their home's energy usage in real time via the SmartThings app when it's connected to an in-home smart meter. Users can also see how their electricity usage contributes to carbon dioxide emissions and receive tips on where more energy could be saved. Even more effective is the ability to create routine schedules for household appliances — such as washing machines, lights and dishwashers — that can help take advantage of off-peak times when energy rates may be more favorable. Another perk is notifying the homeowner when there's an issue with an appliance, for example when the refrigerator door is left open.
Why SmartThings Energy matters
Integrating SmartThings into building projects does more than make homes look good. It can help make them easier to sell and lease, and more cost-efficient to manage. Here's why:
Shorter sales cycles
Connected homes stand out. Surveys show that smart features rank among the top desired amenities in new construction. Homes equipped with smart appliances and automation are often more appealing to buyers, especially when they provide opportunities to save on energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint.
Lower operating costs
SmartThings Energy also benefits property managers and developers. By leveraging the AI-powered features built into Samsung appliances, the platform helps reduce energy usage and supports efficiency goals that can benefit operating costs. It may even qualify for green certifications or rebate programs, as many Energy Star-certified Samsung appliances do.
Future-ready infrastructure
As the costs and demand of energy increase, properties that support sustainable living from day one can hold their value longer. Builders who plan ahead with SmartThings Energy-compatible appliances by Samsung are setting themselves up for long-term success. Best of all, setup is easier than ever.
Getting started
Integrating Samsung SmartThings Energy into a residential development doesn't require a complicated overhaul or specialized infrastructure. In fact, SmartThings Energy is designed for flexibility and ease, whether for single-family homes, townhomes or multifamily units. Builders can begin by selecting SmartThings-compatible appliances and devices, including the refrigerators, ranges, washers and dryers, TVs and thermostats that serve as the foundation of a connected home.
Samsung SmartThings Hub makes installation straightforward. It works with Zigbee, Z-Wave and IP-connected devices, giving builders a high level of compatibility without needing to standardize around a single system. Furthermore, with SmartThings Hub, homeowners and renters are not limited to a single, central control panel. Smart appliances and TVs can serve as control centers themselves, allowing management from wherever it's most convenient.
There is also a clear benefit in terms of operations and support. Samsung provides builder partners with onboarding guidance, marketing materials and access to a dedicated team that understands the unique needs of residential construction. It is a partnership model that goes beyond just providing products. By partnering with Samsung and Dacor, builders are not just building homes — they are creating spaces that embody the future of living.
Build smarter today
Buyers are no longer asking if a home has smart features — they expect it. That makes integrating Samsung SmartThings into builds more than a value-add. It is a forward-looking strategy that positions your homes ahead of the market. When a home comes equipped with smart appliances, energy insights and seamless automation from day one, it can immediately appeals to modern buyers seeking sustainability, efficiency and convenience. For builders and developers ready to offer homes that are smarter, more efficient and aligned with buyer expectations, Samsung SmartThings is the clear path forward, and SmartThings Energy, the cherry on top.
