Photograph: SamsungThursday 3 September 2015 05.00 EDTLast modified on Thursday 3 September 201505.32 EDT Samsung has launched a new hub for smarthome devices, which it hopes will kickstart the evolution of the internet of things (IoT).Its Hub will securely unite sensors and accessories from a range of manufacturers using the SmartThings open system.The device and service will be available from 10 September, andfollows Samsung’s acquisition of the IoT company SmartThings in April last year.The internet of things is the idea of creating a home where everything is connected to the internet, creating “swarm intelligence” from individually dumb devices. Bins, toasters, washing machines and lights will be able to talk to each other for automatic, more efficient control and monitoring.Lights could talk to the heating system or door to know when you’re home. A fridge could detect when the milk is empty and order another pint, or the security camera could turn on all the lights if it detects an intruder.The Hub will work with a range of SmartThings-branded devices as well as other products from Samsung and accessories from Bose, Philips, Honeywell, Yale, LIFX, Aeon and others.Samsung’s president of UK and Ireland Andy Griffiths said: “We believe a connected home will provide users [with] more information, more piece of mind and more control in their lives – but privacy is fundamental.“The whole thing is encrypted end-to-end – think bank-level security – while we have continuous security checks and third-party auditing. Only you will have access to any data stored in the cloud.”Samsung will sell a starter pack costing £199 with the Hub, a door closer sensor, a motion sensor, a presence sensor and a power outlet switch for turning something else on and off. A range of other SmartThings devices including a moisture sensor, a camera and a sleep monitor will also be available for around £30 each, with more in the pipeline for next year.But the Hub will also talk to a range of other devices from other manufacturers and will be open to other companies to link into.“We have a different philosophy for our IoT vision, not hidden behind a walled garden, but open and interoperable with many devices,” said Griffiths.FacebookTwitterPinterestThe SmartThings app controls devices such as lights and appliances, and views the live stream from the camera. Photograph: SamsungThe whole system will be controlled by a SmartThings app, which will be available for Android, iOS and Windows Phone, making it one of the systems with the most cross-platform support.AdvertisementThe Korean company is also attempting to foster a community of developers who are free to create new apps and new integrations with products beyond the original launch platform.Samsung has also pledged to make 100% of its devices, from TVs and sound systems to washing machines and fridges, internet connected within five years, which will all integrate into the SmartThings Hub.Samsung isn’t alone in attempting to secure a foothold in the burgeoning IoT space. Apple launched its HomeKit system last year and is expected to push it heavily this year with its new iPhone and iPad software iOS 9.Google also launched its own IoT platform based on Android, called Project Brillo, over the summer to complement its Nest group of products, while many others have built apps and devices that connect to control certain aspects but cannot integrate with other devices.“We’re entering a whole IoT era, starting this year, and it will increasingly become the norm in the next three to five years. What we’re doing is appealing to the early adopters,” said Griffiths.
Note that SEC does not use Android in its wearables, it uses its own RTOS Tizen..."Samsung will announce our new, open-source IoT real-time operating system (RTOS), which has a wide scope of features while maintaining a lightweight and efficient footprint," thesession agenda says.A spokesman for Samsung couldn't immediately provide further details.A real time OS processes data quickly, with virtually no delay. An example is Intel's VxWorks, which has been used in the Mars Rover.Samsung is making the operating system open source to help increase its chances of adoption, and says it will allow for greater interoperability between IoT devices.It's goal is partly to avoid the fragmented OS landscape in mobile devices, particularly for Android, which has caused issues with device interoperability, chip compatibility and deployment of software updates.The OS could turn out to be a pared-down version of Tizen,It would be great if we know this OS very well.I write about the adjacent possible as S Johnson writes about it in his most excellent book, Where Good Ideas come from.Most will look for and want the adjacent Smartphones that Samsung makes, but the Samsung IoT is adjacent territory also from expansion into for this Tier 1.Keep Brian F. most recent blog on your minds as you read this.
A good ecosystem of wearables is just the first subset of the IoT.Is there proof that the IoT is adjacent possible to any supplier to the Tier 1?Yes, there is read this item..Wearable For Tizen ExpansionSamsung Electronics Plans to Expand Tizen OS with Wearable DevicesThe Samsung Gear S2 smartwatch featuring its own Tizen operating system.SEOUL, KOREA25 May 2016 - 10:15amCho Jin-youngAs Samsung Electronics has been applying its own Tizen operating system (OS) to wearable devices in succession, it is using its wearable device business as a main weapon to expand the Tizen OS. The company plans to create the smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT) service ecosystem based on Tizen. This is why it is actively using Tizen in wearable devices which will play a key “controller” role in the IoT services."One wearable to rule them all"According to industry sources on May 24, Samsung Electronics will introduce the Tizen OS in the Gear Fit 2 smartband to be launched next month. The company used the real-time OS, a separate OS designed for the Gear Fit, in the previous Gear Fit model released in 2014.Starting with the Gear S2 smartwatch, Samsung is intensively applying Tizen to wearable products. As the Gear Fit 2 features Tizen as well as the Gear S2, the company now has Tizen-based products from smartwatch to smartband, which are two main axises of wearables.Industry watchers say that Tizen will be used in upcoming wearable devices, including a product tentatively named “Activity Tracker” which is assumed as Samsung’s low-end wearable device.Do we know about this device?Yes we do, its the Samsung Charm, I am not sifting sands for any other wearable devices from them this yrSamsung's fashion-forward activity tracker to Charm us soonThis is largely due to the fact that Samsung is considering wearable devices the main test bed for Tizen with its IoT business in mind. The company has been revealing its strategy to make Tizen as a main platform for the IoT which follows mobile devices and home appliances. As wearables are expected to become a core controller in the IoT sector, along with smartphones, the company is highly likely to expand the application of Tizen to mainly wearable devices.- See more at: http://www.businesskorea.co.kr/engl...izen-os-wearable-devices#sthash.tt5BbEac.dpufTHe same OS for wearables and the IoT.Brian Faith's recent blog where the Eos shines in IoT use.THe adjacent possible says that this is the room we move in to explore..wearable to the IoT is just a short stroll from one room to the next.QUIK Smartphings ecosystem could be varied and vast.After Bob S. sweeps up in China,Have your SEC team move into this room of Samsung'sThanks in advance.Our roadmap is based on the advance work that Dr Saxe doesfocused at 1 yr out.Consider that the Eos 2 has been shaped bypeople like the Tier1 and what they need/want for their IoT ambitions.Samsung has huge IoT ambitions,that will help a little company like QUIKhave the right stuff.Having Sensory Audio on the Eos was better than anythingIP wise I hoped for.Use that to know the execution here willbe spot on.THanks office of the CTO for this advance sort of work-2017 is not so far away now.Did I learn anything from this folder already?Yes, a lot.What?1. Samsung takes wearables very seriously. They know it the portal to the IoT and they want these things on your wrists. Bundle galore- get them on your wrist so that you can move to the IoT with them2.Tizen- a RTOS is no flash in the pan for them. Its the OS of the IoT for them. We want to know it very, very well.3.
this snip is the one to rememberit is using its wearable device business as a main weapon to expand the Tizen OS. The company plans to create the smart home and the Internet of Things (IoT) service ecosystem based on Tizen.
