Samsung boosts SmartThings with new health features

Samsung is making its SmartThings app even better by adding support for Matter 1.4, a system that helps smart home devices work together smoothly. This update brings exciting changes, especially for people who care about health and fitness. Now, SmartThings can connect with health gadgets like fitness trackers and smart scales to keep an eye on your wellness right from the app.

With this upgrade, you can link your health devices to SmartThings and see all your data in one place. For example, it can track your exercise, sleep, or even your weight, depending on the gadgets you use. This makes it easier to stay on top of your goals without jumping between different apps. Samsung says this is all about making life simpler and smarter for users.

The Matter 1.4 update also improves how devices talk to each other, so your smart home runs more smoothly. Whether it’s lights, thermostats, or now health tools, everything can work as a team. Samsung is one of the first companies to bring this health focus to a smart home app, showing they’re serious about mixing tech with everyday life.

To get started, you’ll need devices that support Matter 1.4, and then you can pair them with SmartThings. The app will guide you through the setup, so it’s not too tricky. This move is perfect for anyone who loves tech and wants their home to help them stay healthy. Samsung promises more updates like this down the road, keeping SmartThings a big player in the smart home world.
