device. The app allows you to control your TV \u2013 turning it on and off and switching between channels and viewing preferences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What\u2019s more is that you can even connect it with other smart home products, such as connected lights, locks, and thermostats.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Gideon_Smart_Home\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Gideon Smart Home<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Gideon Smart Home<\/strong> app was previously called <span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; color: #000000;\"><em>Alfred Smart Home<\/em> <\/span>but the change name hasn\u2019t made any changes to the quality functionality of the app. The app is great for those with different types of smart home products, becoming the central command center for all your products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can manage all the products with the app and even provide permission to your family and friends.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SmartThings_Mobile\"><\/span>SmartThings Mobile<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Manufacturer specific apps are of course available and they require you to have plenty of brand products. These are naturally rather obvious to recommend, but the <strong>Smart Things Mobile<\/strong> are worthy of a mention. It is a very good app that helps you make the most of the Samsung smart home system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those using the products, this makes controlling and managing things like TV, lighting, and heating.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Security_Camera_%E2%80%93_Alfred\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ivuu&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Home Security Camera \u2013 Alfred<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You should also utilize the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/zerodollartips.com\/home-network-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">home security products<\/a>.

The coolest feature of the product? You can use voice commands to manage your entertainment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For example, you just need to open the app and say \u201cFind Comedies\u201d, with the app finding a selection of comedies for you to enjoy. You can even use the app as a remote entertainment device \u2013 if you have a tablet, you can watch your shows on the go.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Yonomi_%E2%80%93_Smart_Home_Automation\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.yonomi&amp;hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Yonomi \u2013 Smart Home Automation<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another good central command app to use comes from <span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Yonomi<\/strong><\/span>.
