Introducing the SmartThings Widget
Have you ever wished for a magic wand to control your Samsung TV without getting up? Well, your wish has been granted! The SmartThings app for Android has rolled out a new remote control widget that allows you to control your SmartThings-enabled TV or monitor right from your phone’s home screen. Imagine reaching for your phone and adjusting the volume while still comfortable on your couch. It’s like having the power of Thor, minus the hammer!
Not Just for TVs!
But wait, there’s more! This nifty app serves as the central hub for your smart home. From lights to thermostats to security cameras, SmartThings integrates seamlessly with a multitude of devices. You can turn on your lights, adjust the temperature, and even brew your morning coffee—all from one handy application. Just think about it: no more dragging yourself out of bed to turn on the lights; the SmartThings app can do it for you while you stay cozy under the covers.
Create Your Custom Routines
The SmartThings app doesn’t just stop at controlling individual devices. You can create interactions that make life easier, such as a ‘Good Morning’ routine. Picture this: your lights softly glow to wake you up, the thermostat adjusts to a comfortable temperature, and your coffee maker begins brewing just as your alarm chimes. If evenings are more your style, conjure a ‘Movie Night’ routine that dims the lights and fires up your TV, transforming your living room into a cinematic experience!
In addition, SmartThings offers a robust security monitoring system. Receive alerts if a door is ajar or catch a glimpse of live footage from your security cameras. It’s like having a personal security team, minus the intimidating uniforms.
