Samsung has been including more and more smart functions in its televisions . As its ecosystem of smart devices grew, its application to control televisions fell short. For this reason, they launched SmartThings for mobiles, which allows you to control all your Smart TVs . Now, the app also comes to Windows 10.
SmartThings finally comes to Windows 10 , where it not only allows us to control Samsung devices, but also other manufacturers, including Google’s Nest, also with integration with Alexa and Google Assistant . Now, Microsoft has taken its excellent relationship with Samsung one step further.
SmartThings for Windows 10: almost like on Android
With this PC app, users can sync their Android app and control all their connected devices without having to add them again. The application for Windows 10 has some limitations. Thus, while in Android we can add new devices, in Windows 10 we cannot add new ones, and we always have to do it through the mobile.
In addition, we also do not have support for Nest in Windows, since although we see the rooms created for these devices, the cameras and thermostats do not appear as available. Thus, we do not know if this is going to stay that way, or if Samsung will later add the functionality for this app.
Despite this, you will not miss it, since you will be able to control refrigerators, wine cellars, washing machines, dryers, aerating cabinets, ovens, dishwashers, glass ceramic hobs, robot vacuum cleaners, air conditioning equipment, air purifiers, televisions and speakers.
All of this can be done both inside and outside the home. With this, we can interact with the devices and know their status if they remain connected to our WiFi network. We can also control several at the same time and use them at the same time.
Optimized for Windows 10
The use of the app has been optimized to fit with the Galaxy Book, Samsung’s lightweight laptops that use Windows 10. As we can see in the images, the app works perfectly on any computer or device with Windows 10, being even faster and more intuitive to control our devices.
Each of them will show us the most relevant information according to its purpose. For example, we can see the temperature on a thermometer, if the lights are on, if a device with a battery is charging or has already been charged, or know if a door or window is closed or not.
