Life Hacks

4 ways your home can lend a hand this fall

Upgrade to a smart home and take on the busy days ahead with next-level connectivity.

Traffic. Longer meetings. Less sunshine. Summer fun is in the rearview mirror. The fall schedule can mean spending more time at work, which leaves less time for the rest of your life. Make your home a connected space where you can get more done, even when you’re busy. We have smarter ways to get your home working for you, whether
it’s for relaxing or parenting.

Monitor your
homelife with a tap

It's hard to juggle the demands of both work and home. Sometimes you probably wish you could just teleport between the two. Now there are ways to virtually be in multiple places at once. With a SmartThings app you can select and connect all your smart products, and then access them through the SmartThings Hub on your Galaxy device. So even when you're at your job, you can still use your phone to get things done around house, like using your smart doorbell and smart camera to safely let in the dog walker.

Start your evening
from work

Enjoying your nights when you're still trying to unwind from your day can be a struggle. Jump-start a relaxing evening with automated routines using the SmartThings app with compatible smart devices or through Bixby on Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G. Set up a customized smart routine, so when you walk through the front door, calming music is playing, the vacuuming is done and your favorite TV show is queued up and ready to go.

So much more than a fridge
Control your compatible smart devices, stream music and keep a grocery list — all from your fridge.

Parent from your kitchen

Being a working parent has always been tough. You write your kids notes and create to-do lists for when you're not there, but now instead of pinning them to the fridge, you can create and share them digitally. The Samsung Family Hub Refrigerator features a 21.5" interactive touch screen that keeps everyone in sync. When the kids get home, they can check in on chores, homework or dinner. At work, you can send messages and updates directly from your phone to the Family Hub screen.

Let your refrigerator
pick dinner

A return to a busy schedule can upend your eating habits, so try meal prepping. The SmartThings Cooking app offers healthier options and tactics. It'll give you recipe recommendations that match your tastes and dietary restrictions, then it will build out a weekly meal prep schedule to guide you. With a Family Hub Smart Fridge, you can see what's inside from your phone and plan ahead for any grocery shopping so it's not another night of takeout.

Conquer your fall schedule

With your busy life, you can count on a smarter home to help get more done, parent better and unwind easier.
