Samsung hit the nail on the head. Air conditioning sets a comfortable temperature during sleep thanks to data from watches or rings

Everyone probably knows this feeling: in the evening, you set the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature, but in the middle of the night, you wake up either sweating or feeling cold. To some extent, these discomforts can, of course, be prevented by scheduled shutdowns, but Samsung has come up with a more remarkable solution. Since the body needs a different ambient temperature in various sleep phases, which a standard thermostat cannot react to, the South Korean manufacturer intends to involve smartwatches in the process. These will communicate with the air conditioner and ensure optimal room temperature settings.

Watches tell the air conditioner you’re sleeping

The new feature is called WindFree Wearable Good Sleep, and Samsung has implemented it in this year’s Bespoke AI WindFree air conditioner. The principle is straightforward. If you wear a Galaxy Watch on your wrist or a Galaxy Ring on your finger, the device will recognize that you have fallen asleep and, via the SmartThings platform, instruct the air conditioner to activate the silent WindFree Cooling mode. This will then adjust the cooling according to your current sleep phase.

What you need for this

WindFree Wearable Good Sleep is a typical example of a feature that requires the user to actively utilize devices within the Samsung ecosystem. According to the manufacturer itself, you need a Samsung brand phone with One UI 4.0 or newer, and a Galaxy Watch 4 (or newer) smartwatch, or a Galaxy Ring, or a Galaxy Fit 3 fitness tracker.
