6 secrets to making this summer magical
Why a SmartThings smart home is the key to having your best…summer…ever.
From beach days to road trips, summer means there are a million ways to get out into the world and have a great time. But the fun doesn’t have to stop when you get back home. The SmartThings app1 lets you connect the compatible devices and appliances in your home, simplifying everyday tasks so you can save time, enjoy the outdoors and keep those good summer vibes rolling.
Make working from
home feel like a vacation
You know what doesn’t say summer? Gray office cubicles and fluorescent lighting. Take your office into the sunshine and work seamlessly across your devices. If you can work remotely, start your day on Galaxy Book3 Ultra , then shift the project2 over to your Galaxy S23 Ultra and take those conference calls by the pool. Active Noise Cancellation on Galaxy Buds2 Pro lets you turn down outside noise so you can focus on your work call (or Summer Jamz playlist).
The new date night hotspot? Your place.
Who needs a reservation when your house has the best al fresco summer dining in town? To prep for your romantic meal, browse recipes on the Smart Recipes app on your Family Hub Refrigerator™. When you find one you like, select “start cooking” and the cooking settings will kick in on your SmartThings-connected stove3. A few taps of your Galaxy Tab S8+ adjusts your compatible lighting to a warm glow. You and your special someone can go outside and enjoy your zesty summer recipe, then start the
Bespoke Smart Dishwasher from your phone. This place? Five stars. Would
come again.
Watch movies under
the stars
Summer means you don’t have to go to the theater to see the latest box office smash. Just watch it (or the hot new streaming series) comfortably in your backyard, either with The Terrace QLED TV (built for outdoor viewing) or The Freestyle,4 an easy-to-use mobile projector. You don’t have to sacrifice great sound quality either with The Terrace Outdoor Soundbar . With a connected house, all of these devices can be controlled by your Galaxy S23 Ultra.5 Now all you need is the popcorn.
Summer laundry, happened so fast
From sweaty clothes to cookout spills, the laundry can pile up quickly this time of year. Luckily, Bespoke AI Laundry paired with SmartThings helps you handle this chore without interrupting your fun. Just load up the Bespoke Washer and Bespoke Dryer and you can start the cleaning cycle, then monitor its progress right from your
Galaxy S23 Ultra. Go for a jog. Grill some burgers. Whatever your summer
of activity of choice, you’ll never miss a laundry doing again.
Put the "out" in workout
One of the joys of summer is that you can break away from the stuffy, crowded gym and exercise out in the fresh air. With the SmartThings app, your devices can become your workout buddies. Mirror fitness content from your Galaxy Z Fold4 to The Sero TV, which can switch to a phone-like vertical viewing format and comes with a built-in AI Trainer. And of course, Galaxy Watch5 is the perfect tool to monitor stats and fuel your summer fitness glow-up.
Save the universe from just about anywhere
Your game avatar gets to explore all these cool extraterrestrial worlds, but you have to stay parked in your chair? Unfair, especially during summer. With SmartThings, you can start a game indoors on Samsung Gaming Hub6 on OLED 4K TVs, or in front of an immersive Odyssey Ark monitor . But it’s also easy to move the adventure outdoors if you’re going on a road trip or ice cream run. Just switch the game7 over to your
Galaxy S23 Ultra or Tab S8+.5 and you won’t lose any of your progress.
