Check out These Smart Items You Didn’t Know Existed

“Smart items” is an all-encompassing term that includes any service provided by Samsung’s SmartThings. This gadget has the ability to complete standard household chores for you if they slip your mind. All you need is the SmartThings hub and the application to get started with your smart items.

Lights

  • Your lights can be controlled from far away (even from another country) if you have a SmartThings outlet hooked up to them.
  • You can program your lamps to slowly brighten as you wake up.
  • You also have the ability to program lights to turn off if they have been left on for longer than necessary.

Home Security

  • Do you have a mischievous kid at home? Your phone will alert you if your kid is sneaking away past curfew.
  • If an unexpected intruder invades your house while you are not home, you can program your stereos to play the sound of loud barking dogs.
  • There is also a siren that can ring obnoxiously loudly if there is an unexpected entry through your door.

Pets

  • Does your pet suffer from wanderlust? If so, SmartThings can provide the perfect remedy. Your pet will send you a notification whenever it leaves the house so you can make sure your furry friend doesn’t run away.
  • Sadly, your pet can’t always properly communicate to you whenever they’re hungry. SmartThings can alert you when it is time to feed your pets.

Convenience

  • You can pretty much get SmartThings to react to everything you do in your daily routine.
  • You can program your tea kettle or coffee maker to heat up for you whenever you get home for work.
  • Everyone has lost their keys at some point in their life. Luckily, the SmartThings app can unlock your door every time you approach it, so you won’t have to bother fondling for your keys.
  • No need to queue up your stereo whenever you get home from work. Automatically set your SmartThings app to start playing your favorite jams whenever you step in the door.
