As part of an ongoing partnership, Samsung Electronics and ABB have announced the upcoming integration of ABB’s InSite energy management system into Samsung’s SmartThings and SmartThings Pro platforms, marking an advancement in smart building technology.
Building on the previous incorporation of the ABB-free@home smart home system into SmartThings, 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, allowing SmartThings and SmartThings Pro users to manage the energy consumption of smart appliances and devices – such as dishwashers, air conditioners, vacuum cleaners, and lawn-mowing robots – using real-time and historical data collected by InSite.
This can be observed at the Brobyholm residential development located 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’ and enables users to conveniently manage essential functions through a single user interface.
SmartThings Pro further enhances these capabilities by offering advanced energy analytics, predictive insights, and automated optimisation for businesses, property managers, and energy-conscious home owners looking for greater control over their energy ecosystem. This professional-grade platform provides seamless integration with industrial-grade IoT devices, ensuring a more comprehensive approach to energy efficiency and sustainability.
“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,” said Mike Mustapha, President of ABB’s Smart Buildings division.
“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,” added Chanwoo Park, EVP B2B Solutions of Samsung Electronics. “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.”
The combined solution is showcased at Samsung Electronics’ booth during the Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025 exhibition in Barcelona, from 4-7 February.
