According to Samsung’s previous announcements, the company plans to integrate its SmartThings connected home platform into all smart TVs by 2016. The latest news reveals that Samsung is developing a remote control capable of driving all home devices.
The latest Smart Control remote promises to connect to all hardware devices linked to the TV, including video game systems and Blu-ray players, and as IoT technology continues to expand, users will be able to control lights, home security cameras, and other SmartThings-based devices with this remote.
Currently, the Smart Control remote has not been officially released, so the specific features, drawbacks, or design are still unclear. However, there is ample reason to speculate that this is a device that can compete with the Logitech Harmony remote, which has already enabled users to control lights, door locks, and other devices. This remote will be equipped with the Tizen operating system, allowing for faster and smoother content access.
