Samsung’s Work on a Universal Protocol for Smart Home Device Control

The goal is a single, open standard. This standard would connect gadgets like lights, thermostats, security cameras, and appliances. Right now, many devices need separate apps or systems. People often need multiple hubs. Many find this annoying. Samsung wants to fix this problem. Its new system would let users manage everything from one place.

Samsung is inviting other tech companies to join this effort. It believes industry-wide cooperation is vital. The company wants its protocol to become the standard everyone uses. It is based on existing technologies like Matter. Samsung hopes to build upon Matter’s foundation. It aims to make the system even more powerful and flexible.

The company is already testing this new protocol internally. It is working with key partners in the smart home market. Samsung plans to release more details later this year. It expects the first products using the protocol to arrive soon after. The focus is on seamless integration and user control.

This initiative could change how people interact with their homes. Users could set up devices quickly. They could mix products from different makers without issues. Simple voice commands or app controls would manage everything. It promises a more unified and frustration-free smart home experience. Samsung believes this is the future.
