Samsung's entry in the home automation, monitoring and security space is SmartThings. It consists of a connected hub (that you can pick up for around a 0 at present) and various additional sensors and accessories you can hook up to it, depending on your needs. It's all controlled by the SmartThings Mobile app, which has mostly mixed reviews on the Play Store but is now getting what appears to be a significant update.Chief among the changes in version 2.4.0 is a brand new dashboard. Commendably, it seems Samsung consulted heavily with the user community to source ideas for improvements to the dashboard specifically, so this will hopefully have led to a much better experience. As well as the UI changes, we're also treated to tablet compatibility for the first time, handy for anyone who uses one about the house and doesn't want to keep getting their phone out to change the temperature, for example.Favorite things and routines can also be added to your dashboard, which should make for fewer taps and faster navigation all round. You can see the full changelog provided by Samsung below:
