Most of us could use an extra hand when it comes to getting chores done. We already have so much to juggle that just getting a meal plated for dinner or having fresh clothes for the week can feel like a tremendous challenge. It might not be a housekeeper, but Samsung’s SmartThings app and connected appliances make it feel like you have someone else helping you tackle your to-dos. Whether you’re in the kitchen preparing a meal after a long day or trying to fit another load of laundry in your schedule, Samsung has the solution to make your life easier.

At his Samsung Family Hub, our influencer says, "Here's some really cool ways to connect in the kitchen using SmartThings." He taps the screen to turn on the kitchen lights as he tells to turn on the kitchen lights using SmartThings on the Family Hub screen. We see the kitchen lights turn on in response. Next we see a TV show playing on the Family Hub screen. He says "you can switch between watching TV,or streaming good music or finding a good recipe" as he swipes to a screen with a Spotify on it. He swipes again to a screen with a recipe for an Acai smoothie and a gluten-free pizza. He taps the recipe and taps "select all" ingredients as he explains to do the same. He taps cook mode and explains this is how to get step-by-step instructions. Next he taps start and shows us how to start the connected Samsung cooking range from the screen as well. He taps SmartThings, the oven and sets temperature and time and taps "send to oven." A popup on screen says "send to oven" and he taps it. Next we see the oven start to preheat. Next he explains how to connect his Galaxy Z Flip to the refrigerator. He taps the phone to cast his phone to the Frame TV. He opens the SmartThings app on the phone and taps "mirror screen." He casts his phone camera to the TV so he can follow along with the steps. We see the screen of The Frame TV, with half of it showing the steps and the other half showing him at the stove cooking.

Cook like a pro with a Samsung connected kitchen

The last thing you want to do after a busy day is figure out what to make for dinner, whip out a recipe book and try to put something tasty together. And meal planning for the week, who has time to figure all of that out? If only there was one secret ingredient that could make every meal easier, and more delicious. How about a virtual sous chef to walk you through dozens of delicious recipes? It won’t chop the vegetables for you, but Samsung’s 4-Door French Door Fridge Family Hub can help you get your meal started right, plus bring in a whole brigade of connected Samsung appliances to help.

As the ecosystem for your connected appliances, SmartThings allows you to control everything right from the app. If you prefer to use voice commands, it’s easy to set up Google, Alexa or Bixby from the app. Tap voice assistant in the menu and give permission to the command that you’d like to use.

With SmartThings accessible from its integrated screen, Samsung’s Family Hub is more than the center of the kitchen – it’s the center of your connected home. Getting dinner going is a snap. First, set the mood for meal prep by turning on your connected kitchen lights right from the Family Hub screen. If you want to chill to some music while you cook, you can access your favorite app right from the screen and select the perfect tracks. Mozart perhaps? The Family Hub even has a selection of great recipes that you can follow along to. Just tap a recipe you like and Family Hub will give you step-by-step instructions. If you have a connected Samsung Oven, you can even set the temperature right from the SmartThings screen on your Family Hub.

If you’re more of a visual learner, cast your Galazy Z Flip5 to The Frame TV and watch along as a pro shows you the ropes. Just open SmartThings on your phone and tap Mirror Screen. With a few quick taps, you’ve got a virtual sous chef in the kitchen, a mentor on the screen and the recipe for an unforgettable meal.

In front of a Samsung Bespoke Washer, we see our influencer putting in laundry. He throws it in and shuts the door. He says, "if you're like me and always forget to start your laundry, then this is for you." We see him use his Galaxy S23 Ultra - he opens the SmartThings app, taps all devices and finds the Bespoke Washer to connect. He tells us he can easily start his laundry from anywhere. He explains how he uses SmartThings to find the appliance. We see him start to tap his settings for the laundry on the phone. He customizes his cycle by tapping normal and scrolls down to show off the various settings. He taps "active wear." He chooses his settings and taps "start" on the phone. The phone reads "preparing." We cut to the laundry to see it starting the cycle. He explains that the Bespoke Washer and Dryer make it super easy to do laundry but also conserve water. We cut back to the phone to see it display "washing" with 54 minutes left on the cycle.

Never forget to finish a load with Samsung connected laundry

It never fails, you bundle up your dirty laundry, throw it into the wash and forget to push the start button, only to come home later to an appliance full of still dirty clothes. Or maybe you’re the type to forget to flip the dryer on after loading it with your newly washed, wet clothes. Or how about this one — you flip the dryer on, but don’t hear the cycle finish and by the time you get to it, all your clothes are wrinkled again. The point is, doing laundry is all about timing, and with the connected Samsung Bespoke Washer, laundry can work on your schedule, so you’ll never leave a load out to dry. If you’re in the coffee shop and suddenly remember to start the washer or the dryer, it’s easy to connect to it from the SmartThings app, pick your settings and press start. While you’re stirring your coffee, your laundry is getting the perfect spin cycle at the same time.

Imagine if you could have a universal remote for your life. You could control it all, from your TV to your kitchen to your lights, right from the palm of your hand, wherever you are. That’s the kind of freedom that SmartThings and Samsung connected appliances can give you. Your fridge can act as your personal sous chef and your laundry can work on your timeframe, so you can focus on what matters and get more out of your everyday. Thank you, connected appliances.
