what's up YouTube jeff back from Sammy
0:02
Guru here and today we're going to be
0:03
talking about a huge update that rolled
0:05
out while we were all distracted by the
0:07
1 UI70 hype and that is the Smart Things
0:10
update which brings a ton of new
0:12
features that integrates with Samsung
0:14
Health your Samsung speakers for
0:17
broadcasting uh routine creation with AI
0:20
Matter 1.4 support and more so we're
0:24
going to get into that today before we
0:25
do I want to remind you guys about one
0:27
of our wireless partners on the channel
0:28
and that is Visible by Verizon uh
0:31
Visible has some amazing plans and they
0:33
just revamped their plan structure so I
0:35
wanted to talk to you guys about it they
0:36
run in the Verizon network so they have
0:38
amazing service basically you can save a
0:40
lot of money by switching even from
0:41
Verizon to Visible because Visible is
0:43
cheaper than the standard post-paid
0:45
Verizon line they've got the Visible
0:47
plan for 25 a month which basically
0:49
gives you unlimited data talk and text
0:50
on Verizon's 5G and 4G LTE uh unlimited
0:54
use of your phone as a Wi-Fi connection
0:56
uh international unlimited talk and text
0:58
to Mexico and Canada global pass
1:00
starting at $5 a day free two-day device
1:02
shipping if you buy from them now they
1:04
have the new Visible Plus plan which
1:06
gives you access not only to the 5G and
1:09
4G LT networks but also the 5G ultra
1:11
wideband network smartwatch service
1:13
available for $10 a month and up to
1:15
1080p HD quality video spam and
1:19
robocalls blocked mobile hotspot twice
1:21
the speed and you've got your global
1:24
pass and free overnight shipping for
1:25
devices lastly you have the new Visible
1:28
Plus Pro plan which is their new plan
1:30
which is ultra premium has everything as
1:32
before but you've got up to 4K UHD
1:35
quality video smart watch service
1:37
included which is usually $10 extra on a
1:40
post-paid plan mobile hotspot three
1:42
times the speed and again free overnight
1:45
shipping so I highly recommend giving
1:46
Visible a try if you're on Verizon
1:48
already might as well switch because you
1:50
get the same network but for probably
1:52
half the cost anyway that'll be in the
1:53
pin comment description if you guys are
1:55
interested all right so let's talk about
1:56
this Smart Things update we wrote it up
1:58
the other day josh Skinner one of our
1:59
writers over at Semiguru um there's a
2:01
bunch of things here and I'll open the
2:03
app and go through them in a second but
2:04
just to hit the highlights basically
2:05
Samsung Health is now integrated with uh
2:08
your Smart Things stuff you can get deep
2:10
insights to your sleep environment from
2:12
various smart sensors into a report that
2:14
appears within the now brief and with
2:16
paired with Galaxy Watch Ring can adjust
2:18
the environment based on set sleep and
2:20
wake times now this doesn't seem to be
2:22
in there for me yet we'll talk about
2:24
that in a second but it's supposed to be
2:26
coming cuz I have a Galaxy Ring and a
2:28
Galaxy Watch and I haven't seen it show
2:30
up but we'll talk about that more in a
2:31
second smart Things routines gets more
2:33
options including the ability to
2:34
integrate with Samsung Plus on 2025 TVs
2:37
also you get new routine generation with
2:40
AI broadcast your voice across your
2:42
speakers your Samsung speakers at home
2:44
i'll demonstrate that in a second
2:45
samsung expands calm onboarding to
2:47
thirdparty devices and matter 1.4
2:50
support which is the later latest matter
2:52
standard which brings support for water
2:54
heaters heat pumps solar powered devices
2:56
battery storage devices uh mounted onoff
2:59
switch and dimmable loaf control devices
3:02
um this builds upon the wide range of
3:04
support devices including lights
3:06
thermostats air conditioners and more so
3:09
I do have the update if we go into smart
3:11
things here you guys will see the update
3:14
notice from Samsung and we'll go through
3:16
their features one at a time here a lot
3:19
of the stuff that we talked about here
3:20
was from here and also from their press
3:22
release but this is actually the notice
3:24
inside the app update routine creation
3:27
via Jenna AI so if you go into routines
3:29
let me just go through and show you each
3:30
feature go to the routines tab up here
3:33
when you hit the plus sign you'll see
3:34
this new labs feature called routine
3:36
creation assistant create your own
3:38
routines and up here you've got some
3:40
pre-made you know suggestions based on
3:43
the devices that you have send a
3:45
notification saying it's time to go to
3:47
work let's do our best today at 7:00 a.m
3:49
on weekdays send a notification saying
3:51
it's 10 p.m time to go to bed at 10 p.m
3:54
so basically this would be broadcasting
3:56
with your speakers and I'll demonstrate
3:58
that i have a frame u music speaker here
4:01
but you can say something like
4:13
dinner at 6:00 p.m you could build your
4:16
own like that and then it'll analyze it
4:18
it'll create the routine for
4:22
you and send message notification to
4:24
members it's time for dinner create
4:26
routine and boom there you go it's added
4:30
right here and it's going to utilize you
4:33
know whatever speakers you have added to
4:34
your smart things in my case I have the
4:37
Samsung music frame here in the Samiguru
4:39
office which I'll go ahead and turn that
4:41
on so we can demonstrate that in just a
4:43
second so that's the first thing that
4:45
Samsung highlighted here um next is the
4:47
broadcasting feature so let's actually
4:49
demonstrate that now if we go back to
4:51
the speaker go actually have to go in
4:53
there up here where it says dashboard it
4:55
says one device broadcast so you can
4:57
record your voice here say hello welcome
5:08
hello welcome to Sammy Guru hopefully
5:11
you guys heard that in the background
5:13
that was my music frame speaker doing
5:15
the broadcast so you can set this up
5:16
with as many speakers as you have you
5:19
know connected to your smart things and
5:21
it works very well i've been testing it
5:22
on the frame here and have them at home
5:24
as well can you know alert your kids
5:26
that it's time for dinner like with the
5:27
routine that we built earlier smart
5:29
notification settings so now inside
5:32
settings you have let's go here you have
5:35
notification settings that allow you to
5:37
alert when you're uh when you're in this
5:39
location so you need to set the
5:41
geolocation of your home so that way you
5:43
could get notifications only when you're
5:45
at home do not disturb always allow
5:47
emergency alerts and you can get device
5:49
notifications based on each individual
5:51
device you can turn those on or off in
5:53
here so you've got smart notifications
5:55
now that allow you to take a little more
5:56
control of your notifications with this
5:59
Smart Things update uh down here you've
6:02
also got some easy connection features
6:03
that have been improved a little bit
6:05
inside Smart Things with this update as
6:08
well going down the list let's see
6:11
support Samsung TV Plus is an action so
6:13
now if you have a 2025 Samsung TV which
6:16
I don't yet but I do have one samsung's
6:18
sending me one you'll be able to
6:20
automate Samsung TV Plus channel
6:22
playback set their favorite channel like
6:24
my kids watch a certain channel when
6:25
they go to sleep every night you could
6:27
turn that on at their bedtime so I'll
6:29
definitely try that out once I get that
6:31
2025 Samsung OLED the last one is the
6:35
sleep integration with routines so in
6:38
routines you can generate routines based
6:40
on sleep wake up conditions by syncing
6:43
with Samsung Health generate a routine
6:45
to create a relaxing environment for
6:46
sleep and start your day it's provided
6:48
in connection with the Samsung Health
6:49
app 6.29 or later well you guys can see
6:53
if we go into my apps I do have the
6:57
requisite Samsung Health let me scroll
6:59
down i have a million apps on my phone i
7:01
do have the requisite Samsung Health
7:03
version so this is 6.9.5.017
7:07
however if we go back into my routines
7:10
creation you'll notice if I try to
7:13
choose a trigger there are no ones that
7:16
are based on my personal sleep now it
7:18
does suggest to me that I could if I go
7:22
down here that I could do good morning
7:24
and good night but these are just based
7:26
off manually run toggles they're not
7:29
based off my actual sleep so it would
7:32
seem anyway that this hasn't yet been
7:35
integrated i mean I I don't know there's
7:37
there's obviously daily routines but
7:39
these also don't really depend on these
7:42
don't really depend on any of your you
7:45
know health functions so maybe this will
7:47
come later where you'll be able to you
7:49
know turn off all your lights your TV
7:51
when you lay down um something like that
7:53
so it's really integrated with what's
7:55
going on with your Galaxy Ring your
7:57
Galaxy Watch so Samsung says this should
8:00
be here but maybe as usual it's taking a
8:02
little bit longer to roll out it doesn't
8:04
really say a specific date says you need
8:06
1 UI7 obviously this is on my S25 Ultra
8:10
maybe you need the stable update which
8:12
is coming later in April uh obviously
8:14
the S25 still hasn't received its first
8:16
big update so maybe when that rolls out
8:19
things will show up generate a routine
8:20
to create a relaxing environment for
8:22
sleep and start your day refreshed when
8:24
you wake up so this uh yeah it doesn't
8:27
seem to really have this exact
8:30
functionality even though it does have
8:32
sleep and wake up as good morning good
8:34
night but doesn't seem to do anything
8:35
with Samsung Health just yet anyway let
8:38
me know what you guys think are you
8:39
using the new Smart Things do you use
8:41
Smart Things at all i love it with all
8:43
my Samsung devices running around here
8:45
and at home it's very very useful
