The two companies will work together for the next-generation smart home to connect
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 - 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.
'This collaboration will enable communication from Home-to-Car and integrated home energy management services that are optimized for future lifestyles,' said
Users will be able to adjust their environments with SmartThings by simultaneously operating multiple devices - including vehicles - through routines such as 'good morning routine' and 'arriving home routine.' For example, when a Galaxy smartphone's 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's car will adjust itself to an ideal temperature. Also, the smartphone and TV screens will display information such as the EV's remaining battery and driving range.
'This is an opportunity to make the connected car's Car-to-Home and Home-to-Car services more convenient in various fields,' said
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,1 the power demand response (DR) program,2 photovoltaic (PV) and energy storage system (ESS) data,3 and time-specific carbon emissions.4

To further strengthen Car-to-Home services,
1 Higher rates are applied depending on the season and time of day.
2 Incentives are provided to participating households to reduce energy consumption in response to the DR signal during peak hours, when power usage is concentrated.
3 Monitoring of electrical energy production/consumption/storage through PV/ESS.
4 Carbon emissions and reductions are monitored through information regarding the amount of carbon emitted when consuming 1KWh of electricity.
