Samsung Electronics announced a new feature for its Bixby voice assistant. Bixby can now control smart lighting scenes in compatible homes. This update lets users manage lighting setups with voice commands. It works with Samsung SmartThings and other supported platforms.

Users can create custom lighting scenes for different situations. Examples include a bright “Morning” scene for waking up or a dim “Movie Night” scene. Bixby activates these scenes through simple voice instructions. Saying “Hi Bixby, set Movie Night lights” triggers the corresponding setup. This hands-free control adds convenience.

The feature supports a wide range of smart bulb brands. Users do not need Samsung lights specifically. Integration occurs through the SmartThings platform. Setup involves linking compatible lights and defining scenes within the SmartThings app. Once configured, Bixby recognizes the scene names.

SEOUL, South Korea – Samsung Electronics today announced a major upgrade for its Bixby voice assistant. Bixby now directly controls compatible smart lights. This new feature simplifies managing home lighting using just your voice.

Users can command Bixby to turn lights on or off. They can also adjust brightness levels. Changing light colors is possible too. This works across many popular smart light brands. Philips Hue, Lifx, and Sengled bulbs are supported. Lights connected via Samsung SmartThings are included.

This integration aims for true convenience. People can control lights without finding a phone or switch. It works hands-free. For example, say “Hi Bixby, turn on the kitchen lights” while cooking.

Setting up light control is straightforward. Open the SmartThings app. Link your smart light account. Assign lights to rooms. Then name each light clearly. After that, just ask Bixby. The assistant understands the assigned names and room locations.
