Siri Shortcuts Now Works with Samsung SmartThings Routines

Why It Matters

By bridging Samsung’s SmartThings platform with Apple’s voice assistant, Samsung taps the large iOS user base, potentially driving higher adoption of its ecosystem and intensifying competition in the smart‑home market.

Summary

Samsung’s latest SmartThings update adds Siri Shortcuts support, letting iPhone, HomePod and other Apple devices trigger SmartThings routines via voice. Users can now ask Siri to run automations such as a “Good morning” routine that adjusts lights, starts the coffee maker and opens blinds. The rollout also brings Apple Watch device lists, command shortcuts and iOS lock‑screen Live Activities for up to five recent devices. The integration broadens cross‑platform control of Samsung’s smart‑home hub.
