Samsung Fridge Freezers With SmartThings

Samsung's Family Hub refrigerator is a 389 litre fridge with a 225 litre freezer. It's a large American model that comes with a high-quality temperature control system and numerous clever features.

You can personalize it by removing panels to complement your collection of matte black Rick Owens clothing and tie-dye Crocs.

All-Round Cooling

Separate cooling circuits for fridges with All Round Cooing help keep your food fresher. Conventional fridges have one evaporator that cools both the freezer as well as the refrigerator compartment. This means that the low-humidity air from your freezer is circulated into your fridge and can cause your foods to dry out. This can cause food to taste bland and unpleasant.

With All-Round Cooling, each shelf level has multiple vents that circulate cool air. This helps maintain a consistent temperature, even when you open and shut the door of your fridge.

Optimal Fresh zone helps keep seafood and meats fresher up to two times longer than in conventional refrigerators, and does not freeze. This feature is a game changer for anyone who loves to cook but doesn't like the hassle of thawing frozen meat or fish.

All Round Cooling uses an All Round Cooling cooling plate at the back of the refrigerator to retain cold air and avoid its loss when you open the door. It also reduces the need for power defrosting to save time and money.

The ice dispenser found on Samsung refrigerators is among the most efficient we've ever tested. The patent-pending Twist Ice Maker dispensing large cubes is dispensed with one simple twist. It can be stored below the fridge when not in use. This makes more space on the shelf and makes it easier to locate your favorite snacks and drinks.

With Reversible Doors, you can choose the direction that your freezer or fridge opens. This lets you easily accommodate your fridge in the kitchen layout while keeping your fridge neat and tidy.

Samsung's Family Hub is the central control point for your SmartThings connected home with large touchscreens on your fridge. It will show you a live feed of your smart doorbell. It can also place orders for groceries using an automated inventory system or suggest recipes based on what's available in the store.

Samsung refrigerators come with flex drawers at the bottom, providing an efficient storage solution. They make it easy to store taller items such as pizza trays, and cans of drinks. They can be flipped down when not in use and then folded flat to take up less space. This is a fantastic feature for people who are passionate about cooking and baking but are limited in their refrigerator storage space.

FlexZone

This flexibility lets you modify your fridge freezer to best fit your needs and storage requirements. The FlexZone module allows you to upgrade your fridge to a larger or smaller size by incorporating an extra FlexZone.

This fridge has a FlexZone bottom-right compartment that can be converted into a freezer or refrigerator. This lets you keep things like bags of frozen vegetables, meat, or fish in the freezer. It performed well in our tests, too however, the absence of a voice control or SmartThings integration on the 21.5-inch touchscreen was an opportunity missed.

The remainder of the fridge has plenty of space to store food items, including two crisper trays and a middle FlexZone drawer that can be customized. The drawer lets you select among five different settings based on your requirements for the fridge-freezer compartment. This includes the freeze setting that is compatible with the freezer settings, a soft freeze setting for wine or deli tray, a meat and fish setting, and a beverage setting for drinks, snacks and frequently accessed items.

The Samsung Fridge Freezer is also a very energy efficient fridge, thanks to its digital inverter technology. This technology regulates the temperature inside the fridge so it doesn't change too much, and helps keep your food fresher for longer. Its energy efficiency has earned the ENERGY STAR Certification.

SmartThings

SmartThings may not be as effective as Alexa or Google Assistant however, you can still add more smart devices to it. Samsung's TVs, phones, fridges and tablets all have SmartThings. It could be enough to make it worthwhile for some, particularly if you have multiple Samsung products.

The SmartThings app is well-rounded and refined, with an "if x is greater than y is true, then y" automation section that performs well. You can set things up such as an alarm that goes off when sensors detect flooding, or turn on the light when your phone determines you are at home. It could even control your refrigerator if you link it to a smart outlet, although we've seen mixed results with this.

SmartThings requires a hub which is not cheap. Samsung offers a variety of different options that include the SmartThings Station that you can attach to a router and use as an nightlight. There's also a less expensive SmartThings Hub Dongle that supports Z-Wave and Zigbee and Thread, with Thread support coming soon.

Once you've connected your smart fridge to your phone and hub, it's extremely simple to use. SmartThings lets you control your refrigerator from anywhere. Notifications are sent to your smartphone when the fridge is closed or opened. You can set up schedules, set the temperature and even set reminders.

SmartThings was a founding member in the Home Connectivity Alliance. This alliance is working on making major home appliances made by different manufacturers interoperable. In the near future you can control your Samsung washer/dryer, Electrolux oven, and LG TV from the same app.

While it's not as well accepted as Alexa or Google Assistant, SmartThings does have a few big hitters on its list, including Arlo, Nest, Belkin and Lifx. It's compatible with Matter protocol that allows accessories to be paired regardless of brand. For https://www.frydge.uk/brands/samsung-fridges-and-freezers , however, merged Alexa and Google Assistant voice controls is most likely the best option.

Family Hub

A fridge freezer isn't much more modern than this: it's equipped with a 21-inch touchscreen inside the door, and comes with a host of smart features. You can access entertainment apps, leave notes for family members (think big digital version of a notepad that is stuck to the fridge) and check for the weather and more, all thanks Samsung's own voice activation assistant, Bixby.

The touchscreen lets you manage recipes and food. You can add ingredients from an app and see what's inside your fridge using internal cameras. You can also make an inventory list of items on the go and keep track of foods to know when they'll expire. You can also use an app for recipes that will give you instructions while you cook.

Samsung has spent an entire year refining the Family Hub fridges based on feedback from customers. You can now create distinct profiles for every member of your family so that they can customize the information and apps that they have access to. It's still not quite as great as having Alexa integration built into your refrigerator however it's a step up on last year's model.

Family Hub is not only an app for managing your entertainment and groceries, but it also controls Samsung's SmartThings platform. It can be used to control Matter-compatible devices such as lights plugs, locks, and lights.

Samsung's fridge has been in use for a while and, although it has a lot of functionality, the touchscreen smarts don't really stand out as an essential feature for many people. They're more of a fun and somewhat frivolous feature than anything else.

That might change as more software updates are released, but for now these models are ideally suited to those who want the most comprehensive connected fridge they can get. You can save money by buying a model without the Family Hub if you're not one of these people. It could be worth it for you if you have a lot of smart home devices that must be controlled via the same screen or if you simply like the idea of a fridge with a giant touchscreen.
