Samsung Electronics partnered with British Gas on Wednesday, aiding customers to better manage their energy usage in homes around Britain, also aiming to expand SmartThings Energy to integrate British Gas’ PeakSave incentive program.
Samsung said the core outcome of this partnership is the integration of SmartThings Energy’s Auto Demand Response feature with British Gas’ PeakSave in Britain. Customers can easily take advantage of the program through SmartThings Energy’s support for Auto DR, which automatically adjusts appliances’ operating modes when an event is triggered.
Chanwoo Park, Executive Vice President at Samsung Electronics stated, “Together we are now able to harness SmartThings Energy to provide customers with easier control into optimizing their daily routines and energy use.”
Earlier this month, Samsung Electronics joined forces with Tesla, connecting SmartThings Energy to Tesla products like Powerwall home batteries, Solar Inverter, Wall Connector charging solutions, and electric vehicles (EVs).
The company additionally said, there are a few different methods for activating SmartThings Energy’s Auto DR feature depending on the type of appliance. It can automatically turn on the AI Energy Mode in SmartThings Energy to save extra energy use in the supported appliances.
The South Korean-based company added with the power-off function, users can consume less energy from having their appliances turned off, also savings can also be achieved through smart temperature adjustment for EHS (Heatpump) products and third-party thermostats.
