There are many mobile brands available when changing mobiles, something that in Spain becomes less and less than mobiles last longer, although we also pay more. It might seem that they all offer the same, but there are some that have their own functions, such as Samsung, who has many unknown raps for many users.
One of them is smartthings, An app designed not only to control home automation devices, such as Alexa or Google Homebut also to be able to locate our devices. In this way, it is possible to see if we have forgotten the headphones at work or if we simply have it in another room.
This app can be installed on any mobilealthough it only serves to locate the company’s devices. Not only mobile phones and tablets, but also geolocation labels, the galaxy ring, headphones …
To be able to use it, we have only install it, connect it With our Samsung account and open it. In the interface we will have all the linked devices and if we click on one an adjustment window will open. At the top there is a blue button that will open the mapmarking the site where this object communicated with the Samsung network for the last time.
This communication can be by GPS if it is a mobile or a tablet or by triangulation of other devicesif it is an accessory, for example. Geolocation labels use this for when we have moved a lot away from it but there are other people with compatible mobiles around.

Once we are in the interface We can make the mobile notify us before we forget an accessoryfor example, if we move away much without him, or make him shine or sound, depending on anything. We can also update its location and see the date and time of the last moment in which it connected to the network.
Of course, Smartthings also serves as a home automation control appprovided that the devices we have are compatible. For example, those of Yeelight, the company that is integrated with Xiaomi, has its compatible devices, being able to choose to turn on or off the lights, change the color, etc.
