Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media, had the opportunity to interview Steve Herbert, Director of Global Business Development at Samsung SmartThings. Gutterman praises his early actions in the smart home space and his “focus on evolving the ecosystem of smart home technology” beyond audio and visual functionalities.
Initially, the smart home space consisted of solutions like connecting a light, door or window. Now, it’s much more in-depth and comprehensive with smart appliances, TVs, blinds, and even home comfort control and energy efficiency monitoring.
Samsung’s SmartThings app integrates each smart device into a whole-home system. The application works with hundreds of compatible devices available across the market to provide all-encompassing control, management, automation and customization of smart home devices and systems.
