- At IFA 2024, Samsung showed off a demo of the Samsung Galaxy Ring triggering smart home routines.
- The example included someone falling asleep and automatically triggering a bedtime routine.
- It is unclear when this will actually roll out to the Galaxy Ring.
The Samsung Galaxy Ring is one of the more unique products the company has launched this year. While our Galaxy Ring review was positive overall, we lamented that it feels like a half-baked device at the moment.

At Samsung’s massive booth at IFA 2024, the company had a demo area showing an upcoming integration between the Galaxy Ring and SmartThings, Samsung’s smart home platform. In the demo, you can wave your hand into an enormous model of the Galaxy Ring, which triggers a nighttime SmartThings routine. The lights turn off, the robot vacuum starts up, etc.
