For Your Connected Smart Home

It’s also entirely local, so gadgets should respond more quickly. Yes, Matter should make your smart light bulb work just as fast as your non-smart light switch. One of the HW-Q990B’s most intriguing new features, wireless connection for Dolby Atmos, is out for anyone who hasn’t bought a pricey Samsung TV recently. The same goes for Samsung’s Q-Symphony feature that utilizes the TV and soundbar in harmony for better on-screen audio orientation.
It’s an interesting idea, but not a great option for those who want to assure privacy. The main reason to use SmartThings is not that you can control smart home devices from a single app, but that you can link them together. So, for example, you can have a smart speaker play a sound if your doorbell camera detects motion, the water sensor gets wet or you arrive home. 9Quick Share requires sender and receiver to have Galaxy smartphones and Galaxy Tablets with Android OS version 10.0 and One UI 2.1 or above. The next era of smartphones has spread its wings and soared.
Surroundings change, picture stays perfect
Samsung's powerful 4K Quantum processor automatically optimizes the picture to deliver a more immersive experience. QLED senses nearby colors in the room and applies them to a beautiful design on screen. QLED’s minimal design features slim bezels that focus your eyes on the picture, so you see what’s really important. The intelligently powered processor instantly upscales content to 4K for sharp detail and refined color. Save up to $200 more when you buy a qualifying soundbar with 55"+ UHD or QLED TV.

Amazon Alexa Matter support
The current iphone app also does not include Schlage Connect locks on scenes or automations, but it did with the Classic app. Samsung states it's because of liability reasons, which makes no sense because the scenes and the lock icon appear on the same page. The 2018 hub also lacks the battery backup of the previous model, but if you've lost power, chances are none of your other smart home devices will work, either. There's one USB port on the back — one fewer than in the previous generation — but, as with the second-generation hub, you can't use this port for anything. Samsung has been promising for years that you’ll be able to use this port to plug in a device to it; I'm beginning to lose hope.
But it holds up surprisingly well when compared to full-sized speaker setups—better than the majority of multi-piece Dolby Atmos bars I’ve auditioned. Like the Q950A, this bar does quite well souping up all your content. Elsewhere in that same first episode, I found myself tantalizingly close to the flashback fire circle of the outcast children as they planned their assault on some unknown enemy. The forest nestled around me in a palpable atmosphere of chattering creatures and swaying plant life. This is the purpose of all this Dolby Atmos tech, and it’s always sweet to see it pay off in this kind of elemental immersion, with no need to think about anything but the story being told.

The Z-Wave Alliance is promoting solutions to bridge existing Z-Wave devices into Matter. Chipmaker Silicon Labs has developed both software and hardware solutions to enable this. But none of these have yet made their way into products you can buy. SmartThings hubs will not bridge existing devices into Matter. So your connected Zigbee and Z-Wave devices won’t show up in other Matter ecosystems — only in SmartThings.
Like Matter controllers, Thread border routers are platform agnostic, so any Thread device can connect to them. Matter officially launched in the fall of 2022 but hasn’t arrived yet; we’re waiting for platforms and devices to be updated to support the standard. That’s starting to happen, but early 2023 is when you can realistically expect to use Matter in your home.
