The business scope of SmartThings is to develop smart homes that can be controlled by mobile phone applications, such as smart light bulbs, motion sensors, smart switches, and smart locks. In addition, the Internet of Things company sells motion sensors, power control units, control hubs, and more. Unlike other IoT companies, SmartThings has an open platform where developers can create their own applications to control SmartThings hardware products.
In an interview, the CEO of SmartThings said: "I think it is time for the company to develop. I believe that with the help of Samsung ’s strong global reach, we will develop more applications and integrate our Expand into retail. "
