• Synchronization with the Tesla app’s Powerwall “Storm Watch” function, allowing users to receive alerts on connected Samsung TVs and mobile devices during extreme weather events.
• Activation of AI Energy Mode through SmartThings Energy to extend backup energy during power outages.

This integration is part of Samsung’s ongoing efforts to advance its Net Zero Home project and enhance the multi-device experience for SmartThings users, utilizing Tesla’s API for a more interconnected and efficient energy management system.
