Samsung Electronics is advancing the integration of its SmartThings Pro platform into modular homes, aiming to enhance the intelligence and adaptability of living and working spaces. In collaboration with Yoochang E&C, South Korea’s largest modular construction manufacturer, Samsung plans to embed its AI-driven SmartThings Pro technology directly into modular buildings during the production phase.
This initiative seeks to streamline the construction process by incorporating smart home capabilities from the outset, ensuring that all connected devices and systems are seamlessly integrated. The SmartThings Pro platform will manage a range of AI appliances, temperature and motion sensors, smart plugs, lighting, and climate control systems, creating environments that are both intelligent and responsive. By embedding these technologies during manufacturing, Samsung and Yoochang aim to deliver modular homes that offer enhanced efficiency, automation, and user-friendly experiences right from installation.

This collaboration is part of Samsung’s broader ‘Home AI’ strategy, which focuses on extending smart home capabilities into modular buildings. By integrating AI-driven automation and energy optimization, Samsung is reinforcing its position in the growing smart, sustainable housing sector. The company also plans to implement its ‘Net Zero Home’ initiative through this partnership, designing modular homes that generate and regulate their own energy consumption, supporting carbon neutrality goals.

Samsung’s SmartThings Pro platform offers customizable Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for seamless integration into various environments, including residential spaces. It features AI Energy Mode, an intelligent power-saving technology that reduces energy consumption based on ambient brightness, content analysis, and motion detection. By incorporating these features into modular homes during production, Samsung aims to provide residents with intelligent, responsive environments that redefine modular living spaces.
