Home appliances increasingly have more intelligent functions to facilitate our daily tasks at home. Artificial intelligence has made its way into many fields of technology, and although its applications can be very diverse, it can also It is interesting to see their advances in energy savingan issue that increasingly worries the population.
Samsung has been working on this aspect for a long time to offer its users a way to save on their electricity bills in addition to the efficiency that their household appliances may have. One of its ways to blame this problem is through artificial intelligence in its SmartThings ecosystem.
An alternative way to save energy at home through AI
With AI Energy Mode, users have one more way to save at home thanks to the algorithms integrated into your appliances to promote a more sustainable habit of consumption. This technology is based on maximizing energy savings through optimizations in your connected appliances.
Through the SmartThings Energy function included in the SmartThings app, users will be able to configure a multitude of parameters in their household appliances that are compatible with the Samsung ecosystem. And it is that with the function of AI Energy Mode, the algorithm is capable of monitoring the behavior of these household appliances and make them adapt to achieve greater energy savings at home.
For example, if we have a SmartThings refrigerator compatible with this technology, the algorithm would be able to detect the number of times you open and close the door in a day and when do you do it? In this way, the software will learn about your habits and try to adapt to achieve up to 30% additional savings at the level of energy efficiency of the appliance.
Once the behavior patterns of the appliance are detected, the technology can change the operation of the motor itself to adapt and thus save energy without practically realizing it. In addition, appliances compatible with AI Energy Mode will be able to monitor consumption in real timeobtain the energy consumed by the device in kWh, set consumption limits, etc.
Samsung’s intention with this technology is to be included in its new SmartThings-compatible appliances. In this way, both a washing machine, refrigerator, dryer, or air conditioning, among others, will be able to take advantage of AI Energy Mode as long as they are compatible with this technology and the user can access the configuration through the settings tab. SmartThings Energy in the app.
To activate this function, the user must give permissions to the SmartThings application and once configured, the appliance will begin to monitor all those habits to optimize its operation and thus start saving energy.
According to the company itself, this technology will land in Spain at some point between May and June, with the arrival of its new range of combined refrigerators. From this point on, all Samsung connected appliances that support SmartThings will also offer the AI Energy Mode feature.
