    Ahead of the IFA 2022 event, Samsung has revealed its plans for its upcoming home appliances and the SmartThings platform. JaeSeung Lee, Head of Digital Appliances at Samsung Electronics, penned an editorial and revealed how the company is striving to become the world's most energy-efficient home appliances brand.

    Lee said that users “have become more aware of the impact their choices are having on the environment and are practicing eco-conscious activities in their daily lives to compensate.” So, to cater to consumer needs, the company plans to make its home appliances more customizable, sustainable, and environment-friendly.

    Nearly all future Samsung home appliances will be Wi-Fi and SmartThings-enabled

    Samsung's Bespoke lineup of home appliances is already available in over 50 markets worldwide, and the company plans to expand it to more countries this year. It is also planning to bring the SmartThings Energy feature to almost all its future home appliances by making them Wi-Fi enabled. SmartThings Energy monitors the energy consumption of all compatible home appliances and devices. It uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) to monitor and improve energy efficiency.

    Earlier this year, the company worked with clothing brand Patagonia to reduce microplastics from laundry and water purifiers. Now, the company is rolling out that feature to existing devices through a software update.

    Partnership with Qcells to make a ‘Net Zero Home'

    The company is also partnering with Qcells and SMA Solar Technology to create a ‘Net Zero Home' model. Such homes can create their own energy, store it, efficiently power themselves, and reduce carbon emissions. The company will reveal more information about its future plans at its IFA 2022 event.

    If you don't know already, Qcells and SMA Solar Technology offer solar panels and related equipment for homeowners. Together with solar power and efficient home appliances, SmartThings Energy can make homes self-sustainable.
