Samsung Galaxy Ring: Smarter with SmartThings integration

When the Galaxy Ring detects that you’re asleep, it can not only automatically turn off the lights, but also set the thermostat to a comfortable sleep temperature or turn on your robot vacuum for quiet cleaning. The new feature was introduced at Samsung’s IFA 2024 event, and it gave a lot of hints about the future of the Galaxy Ring.

At IFA, attendees started the SmartThings routine , a preset nighttime routine, by waving their hands over a large Galaxy Ring model . However, since it was just a demo app, it was triggered by a physical gesture, whereas in the real app, routines will start automatically using the Galaxy Ring’s advanced sleep tracking features.

This integration is considered an important step that increases the functionality of the Galaxy Ring. While users were previously concerned about the limited features of the device, this news can be said to have cleared up doubts that Samsung is improving the capabilities of the device.

So, thanks to this integration, we have seen that the Samsung Galaxy Ring can become a comprehensive device that can be integrated with smart home systems, beyond being just a health tracking device.

Although it is not yet known when this integration will be available, it is seen as a promising development for current and potential Galaxy Ring users. What do you think? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
