Update 1: First Beta Launch

In a press release, Samsung announced that the beta service for Galaxy Upcycling at Home has launched in the US, the UK, and South Korea. The service is available through SmartThings Labs found within the SmartThings app. Once your old Galaxy device has been added to SmartThings, it’ll be recognized as an IoT device that you can see and control from the SmartThings app. At launch, Galaxy Upcycling at Home enables devices to do the following
  • Using an improved artificial intelligence (AI) solution, Galaxy devices can more accurately distinguish sounds in everyday surroundings, and users can choose to save certain sound recordings. For example, if the device detects sounds such as a baby crying, dog barking, cat meowing, or a knock, it will send an alert directly to the user’s smartphone and the user can listen to the recorded sound.
  • Devices can also be used as a light sensor to measure the brightness level of the room. Users can easily set the device to automatically turn on the lights or the TV through SmartThings if the room becomes darker than the preset standard of light.

Because these features require the phone to continuously operate, Samsung has introduced some unspecified battery optimization solutions so as to not wear out the battery longevity from frequent charging/discharging. The only devices that are currently supported by Galaxy Upcycling at Home are all S, Note, and Z series devices released from 2018 onward (ie. the S9, Note 9, and any newer devices) running Android 9 Pie or later. Samsung says that “more devices will be supported in the future”, which hopefully includes some Galaxy A series devices.
