Hardware

Samsung Connect Home is very similar to Google Wifi but with one major twist. It has a Samsung smart hub inside. You will be able to buy it as a pack of three, where one will function as a router and other two as a range extenders making it easy to cover your home with a good wifi. Samsung Connect Home will have built-in Zigbee and Z-Wave popular wireless standards for home automation and it will be compatible with hundreds of third-party smart home devices, such as Philips Hue Lights, Netgear Arlo Camera, and Ring Video Doorbell.

There will be two versions: Samsung Connect Home (single unit or a pack of 3) and Samsung Connect Home Pro (single unit). The main difference is that non-pro version can have up to 3 devices connected. Pro version will be available as a single unit but supports the top-tier Wi-Fi specs (4×4 MU-MIMO 802.11ac). It’s advertised to be much faster though and has the same Wi-Fi coverage as a single unit of the Connect Home.

Software

Samsung Connect Home debuted new Samsung Connect app with its new flagship and at this time it is only available with Galaxy s8 with support for other android and iOs phones coming later this year.  Samsung Connect app is all in one solution for managing your Wifi and Smart home appliances around the home.

Availability

Like all new products, Samsung is taking its time to refine it before mass marketing it. We still don’t know the exact date of release but we can expect it somewhere in the second half of 2017. The price was not specified at this time.
