The Hyundai Group has recently signed a strategic partnership agreement with Samsung Electronics to integrate Samsung’s SmartThings smart home management platform into Hyundai and Kia vehicles.
With the SmartThings feature, car owners can remotely control various home appliances through voice commands or touchscreen operations on the infotainment system.

For example, Hyundai/Kia drivers can activate the “Home Mode” when returning from work, turning on the air conditioning, starting the vacuum cleaner, and turning on the lights. Moreover, users can also pre-start the car’s air conditioning while still inside the house. Additionally, electric car owners can use the SmartThings feature to check their home’s energy usage and adjust the charging time.

After the effective partnership agreement, Hyundai and Kia will activate the SmartThings feature through OTA updates or USB ports on current vehicle models.
