Samsung has unveiled plans for its new SmartThings Home Life service, which will let you control smart appliances across six different SmartThings services from a single device.

Announced at this year’s Bespoke Home event, Samsung’s SmartThings Home Life looks to make already connected smart devices even more connected. The service, which will be added to the SmartThings app, will bundle control options for all of your Samsung devices into one place: your smartphone.
Six different services (Air Care, Clothing Care, Cooking, Energy, Home Care and Pet Care) and their connected devices will be included, along with hardware from other global Samsung partners. According to Samsung Executive Vice President Chanwoo Park, "The global launch of SmartThings Home Life will expand our services and enable users everywhere to focus less on their daily tasks and more on living in every moment."
When available, you can access SmartThings Home (and all your connected devices) directly from the app by tapping the “Life” tab. From there, you can do things like automatically schedule kitchen appliances, monitor energy usage, keep an eye on your pets, and even see if any appliances need maintenance.
