Samsung SmartThings 1.8.51.30 Redesigns Home Tab, Adds Compact Cards
Samsung's SmartThings app version 1.8.51.30 brings a redesigned Home tab with compact, resizable cards and a new Devices tab, now on Android stores.
Samsung has released SmartThings app version 1.8.51.30, an update that redesigns the Home tab and refreshes the Devices tab. The new version is now available on the Google Play Store and the Galaxy Store, following an earlier rollout to iOS.
The redesigned Home tab uses more compact cards for devices and routines. Icons on the cards can toggle devices or trigger routines directly, and the cards can be resized and rearranged to suit the user's layout. The tab also includes a Favorites list and a SmartThings Now section that shows weather or suggested routines.
The update also changes how the app builds a 3D version of a home, a feature that lets users map their living space inside SmartThings.
Separately, Samsung is discontinuing the Samsung Sound app and moving its functionality into SmartThings. The Samsung Sound app, released a few months before this article, was used to control Wi-Fi connected speakers and soundbars. Its features will now live inside the SmartThings app, as reported by gsmarena.com.
