Samsung announces SmartThings Find powered by UWB and Bluetooth

Posted on Jan 18th 2021



Samsung has announced a free service named SmartThings Find to help you find your Samsung devices, including mobile, smartwatch, tablet, and earbuds. This technology uses Ultra-Wideband and Bluetooth.

Apple's Find services have helped many users find their lost iPhones, and Google's Find My Device is routinely utilized by millions of users to locate their missing mobile phones. SmartThings Find utilizes Bluetooth low energy and UWB to help you discover your smart devices. Samsung uses AR with maps and sounds to guide you to your lost intelligent devices.
 
More than six million users in Korea, UK, and the US tried out this technology by means of an early access trial of the services. The administration is accessible through the most recent form of the SmartThings application, and it works with Galaxy devices.
 
Whether your smart device is connected to the network or not, at this point, associated with a versatile organization or your Galaxy telephone, the SmartThings Find can help find out your lost device. Through the SmartThings application, you would now be able to help other people find their lost devices. When a Galaxy device has been disconnected for 30 minutes, it imparts a BLE sign that can be gotten by a different device that is not even straightforwardly combined or connected with that lost device.
Do not worry about your privacy. SmartThings Find client data is encoded and safely protected so that your lost gadget is uncovered to the owner and not the individual who turns out to give the association when the missing device is tracked.
 
When you draw near your lost device, you can choose to turn on an audible sound play on the lost device or find it utilizing the AR-based Search Nearby function. Colors intensity increases in power when you draw nearer to your device so you can play a game of "warm, hot, cool, cold" with your lost Galaxy gadget.
Galaxy mobile phones and tablets running Android 8 or later help the new SmartThings application and Find services. System Note 20 and Galaxy Z Fold 2 gadgets support UWB, so this wireless technology will be utilized with BLE to help find these lost devices.
 
This technology by Samsung will ease the life of those users who forget their devices after placing them somewhere. I know this is a problem for many, especially the old age people often forget where they put their mobile phone and other smart devices. I have used this service, and it is pretty awesome. It is very easy to set up your account and connect it with your smart device. You can use one account for multiple devices.
