Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced that it has established a service integration with Tesla, to be showcased at CES\u00ae 2024, that will connect SmartThings Energy to Tesla products such as Powerwall home battery, Solar Inverter, Wall Connector charging solutions and electric vehicles (EVs). Made possible through Tesla\u2019s open APIs , this collaboration will result in the further expansion of SmartThings Energy\u2019s already-comprehensive level of connectivity and contribute to Samsung\u2019s ultimate goal of enabling more convenient, seamless home experiences for consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTesla Energy\u2019s customers can now manage and monitor the power status of their homes through SmartThings Energy and Samsung devices in addition to the Tesla app, ensuring more access and connectivity,\u201d said Chanwoo Park, EVP and Head of IoT Development Team of Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics. \u201cThis new collaboration is a key milestone for Samsung Electronics in making our solution more widely available beyond home appliances.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The key consumer benefit of Samsung\u2019s collaboration with Tesla allows SmartThings Energy to connect to Tesla Powerwall, Solar Inverter, Wall Connector charging and EVs, allowing SmartThings Energy to display information relating to users\u2019 energy production, storage and usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, consumers will be able to better prepare for power disruptions and outages through SmartThings Energy\u2019s ability to sync with the Tesla app\u2019s Powerwall \u201cStorm Watch\u201d function. This means that in the case of extreme weather events such as typhoons or heavy snowfall, users can be alerted through SmartThings on their connected Samsung TVs and mobiles in addition to the Tesla app. What\u2019s more, they can activate AI Energy Mode before and during power outages to extend the remaining backup energy stored in Tesla Powerwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Samsung\u2019s utilization of the Tesla API is part of its continual drive toward making substantial progress on the Net Zero Home project and enhancing the multi-device experience of SmartThings users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt Tesla we are excited to add capability to our products to interact with other intelligent devices and software in customers\u2019 homes. We recently published FleetAPI, allowing developers to interact with Powerwall, Solar, and Wall Connector in addition to our vehicles. We are pleased that Samsung has chosen to be an early developer, given their leading position in consumer smart home technology. Customers will be able to view the status of their grid connectivity across multiple devices and intelligently control home loads to extend their Powerwall energy when off grid.\u201d said Drew Baglino, Tesla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
SmartThings Energy connected to Tesla Powerwall will be first shown at the Samsung booth at CES\u00ae 2024. The actual service is currently in development and is targeted to launch in the second quarter of 2024.
