ABB and Samsung Electronics announced the upcoming integration of ABB’s InSite energy management system into Samsung’s SmartThings and SmartThings Pro platforms.
According to a company statement, this advancement allows users to “easily visualise, control and optimise” energy consumption in residential, multi-apartment, mixed-use and light commercial buildings.
This integrated solution extends load management capabilities, it noted, enabling SmartThings and SmartThings Pro users to manage the energy consumption of smart appliances and devices using real-time and historical data collected by InSite. The companies stated that this is demonstrated at the Brobyholm residential development in Sweden, where ABB’s energy management system is integrated with SmartThings to “contribute to a larger ecosystem of interconnected partner solutions, creating a replicable blueprint for energy-smart community projects”.
Consolidating home automation, IoT devices, entertainment, EV charging, smart appliances, energy, gas and water consumption reduces “app overwhelm”, it cited, and enables users to conveniently manage essential functions through a single user interface.
The statement said that SmartThings Pro further enhances these capabilities by offering “advanced energy analytics, predictive insights, and automated optimisation” for businesses, property managers, and energy-conscious homeowners seeking deeper control over their energy ecosystem.
Mike Mustapha, president of ABB’s Smart Buildings division, said: “Integrating our state-of-the-art energy management system with Samsung’s SmartThings and SmartThings Pro platforms highlights the power of collaboration in helping our customers outperform in an increasingly connected world. Our combined solution not only differentiates properties in a competitive market, but also addresses the rising importance of energy efficiency for homeowners, tenants and landlords.”
Chanwoo Park, EVP B2B Solutions of Samsung Electronics, added: “The future of energy management lies in intelligent, automated solutions that adapt to evolving regulations and business needs while also increasing the value of properties. SmartThings Pro offers advanced analytics, predictive automation, and industrial IoT integration, giving enterprises greater control over energy usage and sustainability efforts. By leveraging AI and machine learning, we empower businesses to proactively manage consumption, improve operational efficiency, and create smarter, more valuable buildings through energy-efficient innovations.”
