Samsung SmartThings Find – Finding What Was Once Lost Samsung has the bases of a platform that can be very robust and ubiquitous, but they have to expand the partners they work with for the platform to become truly a one-stop-shop especially with their own Galaxy ecosystem being adopted by more users. Devices that are connected via Bluetooth also appear in the app albeit in a limited capacity. The app creates a unified platform for Samsung devices and also devices that support the SmartThings platform. While it may seem like the app has a ways to go before it’s properly useful, that’s far from the truth. Clicking on any connected device brings up more detailed controls which differ depending on the device. The at a glance dashboard is pretty convenient allowing access to actionable widgets which allow you to check your device’s last known location and, in the case of TVs and sound systems, a simplified remote widget for quick control. The home screen brings you a summary of the dashboards you have access to which includes “On the Go”, “SmartThings Find”, “Directly Connected Devices” and, if you have them setup, the rooms where your other devices such as your TVs and sound systems setup. In fact, you will be directed to the SmartThings App even when you want to track the location of your Galaxy Buds and Galaxy Watch devices. It makes the app a one stop shop when it comes to Samsung devices. The fact that Samsung has opted to keep its tracking feature as a part of the main app is a boon to the platform. Before we go into the nitty gritty of the features, let’s first look at the design of the SmartThings app. Samsung has seemingly put a little more thought in implementing features into their SmartThings Find platform. While it may seem pretty rudimentary with other brands like Apple already using Find My in their ecosystem, Samsung has actually made SmartThings find a tad more user friendly and useable overall. The new feature allows users to keep track of their Galaxy devices and other SmartThings compatible devices. One of Samsung’s biggest updates to their SmartThings ecosystem in recent memory is the inclusion of SmartThings Find. SmartThings – All Your IoT in One, Unified Place Like the ones that came before their time, the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag brought the feature to items that aren’t necessarily connected to the internet – something a lot of us would find very useful especially when it comes to keeping track of often misplaced items like your keys or even your pet dog. However, in announcing SmartThings Find, they also created a new opportunity for a brand-new class of devices: trackers. The new feature to their growing SmartThings ecosystem opened the doors to a whole new galaxy of possibilities when it comes to keep track of your devices. Samsung announced their SmartThings Find and SmartTags not too long ago.
