SmartThings TV Plugin

The SmartThings TV plugin brings TV controls into the connected-home experience. Its components were built separately for Android and iOS, creating an opportunity to unify the interface through WebView. The broader SmartThings experience on Samsung TVs includes the product features below, depending on the model and connected devices.

Led the migration of TV plugin components from native Android and iOS to WebView using the shared SmartThings UI component library.

Applied reusable components and shared design patterns to bring the TV plugin interfaces into a common implementation across mobile platforms.

• Smart home hub: compatible Samsung TVs connect and control supported devices through Matter and HCA integrations.
• 3D Map View: a digital home map helps users monitor and control connected devices by room.
• Real-time security notifications: camera and video doorbell pop-ups on the TV, with two-way communication on supported setups.
• Smartphone as remote: change channels, adjust volume, and launch TV apps from a phone.
• AI Energy Mode: optimize power use and screen brightness based on ambient light.
• Connected experiences: Pet Care sound detection, Workout Tracker with Galaxy Watch, and instant media sharing from Galaxy devices.
