Hyundai Motor and Kia launched a "Car-to-Home" service on the 23rd that can remotely control household appliances in their homes through a vehicle infotainment system. Based on collaboration with Samsung Electronics, this service connects vehicles and smart homes in real time by linking Hyundai Motor and Kia's connected car service with SmartThings, a smart home platform.

Customers using Blue Link and Kia Connect can manage interlocking devices such as air conditioners, air purifiers, and robot vacuum cleaners simply by scanning the QR code of the infotainment system and linking their accounts.In particular, it secured continuity of user experience by applying the "Smart Routine" function, which automatically executes a preset go-out or return mode based on vehicle location information. When you go out, you can automatically turn off unnecessary home appliances or operate a robot vacuum cleaner, and when you return home, you can optimize the indoor environment by operating the air conditioner and air purifier in advance.

This provides a mobility experience that breaks the boundaries between movement and residential space beyond simply controlling the device.This service is available sequentially through wireless software update (OTA) on Hyundai Motor and Kia models with ccNC infotainment system among domestic vehicles. Hyundai Motor and Kia plan to continue to expand their service to Genesis models equipped with ccIC infotainment systems in the future. The introduction of the service aims to expand the vehicle into a digital platform and a hub of smart homes based on a software-centric vehicle (SDV) strategy.
