ngs Music Sync now integrates with YouTube Music Sync data comes directly 
from the app, not an external mic Music Sync buttons control playlists and 
syncs your smart lights 

Samsung SmartThings, the tech giant's smart home platform, just got a big 
audio upgrade. Its Music Sync feature, which enables you to synchronize your 
smart lighting with your music, now works with YouTube Music. 

Music Sync is quite special because unlike some music sync systems it doesn't 
rely on microphones, which can produce odd results and be affected by 
non-music sounds. Instead, it integrates directly with the music apps on 
Galaxy devices, taking the audio information directly from the app in order 
to synchronize it perfectly with your SmartThings-capable lights such as 
Philips Hue bulbs and lightstrips. Light up your life with YouTube Music 

The integration of Music Sync with YouTube Music means more than just 
flashing lights to the rhythm of the kick drum. It enables you to access key 
YouTube Music features from within the Music Sync app, so for example if you 
tap the Party button  it'll start playing your Party playlist from YouTube 
Music and shift to a color preset that, according to Samsung, "perfectly 
matches the vibe". 

There are similar features for other key YouTube playlists such as Relax and 
Workout. 

I'm a big fan of smart light syncing  I use the Hue Play Sync Box 8K with Hue 
bulbs and, right now, a set of Hue Festavia string lights on my Christmas 
tree; it's quite funny to have your festive fairy lights syncing with Die 
Hard on the TV  and while it can be a bit much at the most extreme settings 
or with extreme music there's something wonderfully atmospheric about having 
your smart home lights reacting to your streaming soundtrack.
