Samsung has announced the SmartThings Innovation Challenge, coinciding with the 10th Annual Samsung Developer Conference (SDC) scheduled for October 3, 2024, at the San Jose Convention Center. The challenge aims to encourage innovation within the SmartThings ecosystem by inviting developers and partners to submit ideas for new features or drivers.
Participants can choose from two challenge themes: proposing a new feature or enhancement for SmartThings, or developing a new driver that enhances user experience. The top three finalists from each theme will be invited to present their ideas at SDC24. The winners will be announced at the event’s after-party and will receive a Samsung 55” Frame TV.
Ideas for entries include:
- suggesting a feature to gamify the SamrtThings Map View so that users gets points for using the map
- adding a driver for integrating Zigbee water leak sensors to SmartThings
The challenge is designed to offer visibility for innovative ideas, foster community connections, and potentially provide resources to bring these ideas to fruition.
