Samsung SmartThings Receives an Important YouTube Music Update to Create the Perfect Atmosphere at Home.

Transform your crib into a club with Samsung SmartThings.

Samsung has made a significant step in the evolution of its SmartThings platform with the integration of YouTube Music into its Music Sync feature. This system allows smart lighting to sync with the music, creating a visual experience that complements the sounds being played.

One of the most notable features of Music Sync is its ability to operate without the need for microphones, technology that can often lead to inaccurate results by picking up non-musical sounds. Instead, this feature directly extracts audio information from apps on Galaxy devices, ensuring precise synchronization with compatible smart lights, such as Philips Hue bulbs and light strips.

The integration with YouTube Music offers more than just lights flashing to the rhythm of the music. Users can now access key features of YouTube Music from the Music Sync app. For example, pressing the Party button will play YouTube Music's party playlist while adjusting the lighting to a color preset that, according to Samsung, "perfectly reflects the vibe."

Other popular playlists, such as Relaxation and Workout, also offer similar options that allow for a customized musical and visual experience. For fans of smart light synchronization, this update presents new and exciting possibilities to transform any space into a dynamic environment that reacts to the music being played.
