三星目前将贯彻本身在物联网应用发展，预计今年多款家电产品都会导入物联网应用功能，甚至进一步整合Bixby数位助理服务。
如同苹果将可控制HomeKit设备的Home (家庭)App带进Apple Watch，三星稍早也宣布将可控制物联网家电、电视的SmartThings App带到Gear S3与Gear Sport，让使用者能直接透过在智慧手表、手环上点按即可操作家中联网设备。
而此次宣布将使SmartThings App进驻智慧穿戴装置，意味使用者日后透过可独立联网运作的智慧手表即可操作家中物联网设备，同时能以无缝隙方式衔接不同装置操作，而不一定要透过手机点按操作。
不过，毕竟在智慧穿戴装置上的操作，因此相关功能可能会与手机上的操作仍有些差异，例如仅对应概略的开关、明暗调整等，其余操作就可能要借由Bixby数位助理以声控形式操作。
三星目前将贯彻本身在物联网应用发展，预计今年多款家电产品都会导入物联网应用功能，甚至进一步整合Bixby数位助理服务，同时也计划大幅简化智慧家电操作难度，让使用者能以更直觉、简单步骤就能完成操作，预计从2019年至2020年之间更计划让所有家电产品都融合物联网应用。
During its CES press conference today, Samsung announced that this year, it will bring the SmartThings app to its Gear S3 and Gear Sport smartwatches. The company’s presentation was very focused on how it will bring all of its connected devices together to create a seamless ecosystem with simple user controls, and adding the SmartThings app to its latest smartwatch models will be a nice step in that direction.
With the SmartThings app right on your Samsung smartwatch, you’ll be able to control other connected smart devices such as your lights and thermostats, from your wrist, giving you simple control over your environment. Samsung didn’t give any details on when its watches will get the app, but it should happen sometime this year.
Companies have often promised to give consumers a more seamless experience when navigating between different smart devices and so far those promises haven’t been fully delivered on. But Samsung and others have doubled down on those promises at CES this year, so maybe we’ll actually get to experience these simplified experiences in the not too distant future.
