What is AI Energy Mode?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) Energy Mode is an innovative feature within SmartThings Energy, which can help save energy consumption on select products and cycles.

- Air Conditioning: Typically, 43% of a home utility bill goes to heating and cooling.6 Now, with many of us working from home, our AC usage tends to increase, especially as warmer temperatures approach. With AI Energy Mode, your Works with SmartThings thermostat becomes smarter, adjusting settings based on your usage patterns, room temperature, and humidity. No need to compromise your comfort to save energy.
- TV: Whether you’re watching a movie at night or the baseball game during a bright, sunny Sunday with your Samsung Frame TV, AI Energy Mode ensures you always have the perfect brightness for the best viewing experience.
