The company has also teamed up with Google have teamed up to bring a SmartThings dashboard to Android Auto. As such, you’ll be able to control your smart home products or open your garage door from your dashboard after connecting it to a Samsung phone.

At CES 2020, Samsung announced a partnership with Smartcar to bring SmartThings app compatibility to most new cars in the US. In October, it emerged that SmartThings support was coming to Mercedes-Benz’s MBUX Voice Assistant for hands-free smart home device control.
