It's the alarm clock of the future: the lights go on, the curtains go up, and the coffee is ready. It might sound like science fiction, but with SmartThings it can be what morning is like in your house every day. With the SmartThings App you can make devices perform certain actions whenever predetermined conditions are met. For example, the TV can turn on at 6 p.m. every evening for when you arrive home from work. Or you can make the lights turn on when a motion sensor detects movement. Follow this guide to learn how to set up Routines in the SmartThings App to make your life easier.
Note:
- Available features for each device will vary depending on the manufacturer's policy. Devices that do not support the Routine feature will not appear on the list of controlled devices.
- The SmartThings App is available on Android and iOS devices. A Wi-Fi connection and a Samsung account are required. Data fees may apply.
Set up a Routine
Want the TV to turn on as soon as you walk in the door after a long day? You can make your devices do all kinds of things when you use the Routine feature. First, ensure that your Samsung device is connected to the SmartThings app.
In this example, we will make a routine to Turn Off our Soundbar when we are away from home.
Step 1
Open the SmartThings App.
Step 2
In the Home Screen, select Routines from the bottom menu.
Step 3
Hit the Plus '+' icon to start adding a new routine.
Step 4
Tap on Add Condition. This will be the 'if' of our routine.
Step 5
Choose your If Condition.
For this example, we will choose Location Mode. This allows us to set the routine to activate when the household is determined to be in a certain place.
Step 6
Adjust the settings for your If Condition, then select Done.
Step 7
Now it's time to add our Then action. Select Add Action from the menu.
Step 8
Select which device/s you wish to perform the action during the routine, then hit Next to continue.
Step 9
In this example, we want the soundbar to turn off when the routine activates, so we select Turn Off from the menu.
Step 10
Once we are happy with our routine setup, hit Save to save the routine.
Step 11
You can select a related icon and rename the routine, then hit Save to confirm.
Step 12
Your routine is now set up!
You can activate a manually run routine at any time by selecting it in the routine menu, and automatic routines will run when their prerequisites are fulfilled.
