Hi everyone! I recently came across this innovative app called Smart AR Home, which combines smart home controls with augmented reality. The idea of being able to look at my devices through my phone’s camera and control them in real-time is fascinating! The app currently supports switches and dimmers for lights, but the developer is looking to expand its capabilities based on user feedback.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts—what devices do you primarily use at home, and in what scenarios do you think this app could be most useful? For instance, being able to adjust the brightness of a light by simply pointing my phone at it sounds incredibly convenient. On the other hand, I can see how it might not be as practical for simpler tasks like turning a light on or off, which are more efficiently handled by voice commands.
The app is available on both Android and iOS, and it integrates with SmartThings, making it a great addition for those already in the Samsung SmartThings ecosystem. After installing, you need to publish the smart app to allow Smart AR Home to connect with your devices. The setup involves creating synchronization points using images, which the app then uses to place your devices in your home’s layout.
I’d love to hear if anyone else has tried this app and what their experiences have been. Are there specific features you’d like to see added, or any improvements you think could enhance the user experience? Let’s brainstorm together and help shape the future of smart home control with AR!
