Use Routines for additional security

[_nok_]

I just found out I can use Modes and Routines to boost my home security! 😅

If you've got a surveillance camera that sends phone alerts and a SmartThings device like a soundbar or TV, you can set up a routine to blare an alarm when you get a notification. Noice!

Whenever my camera catches someone between midnight and 6 AM, my soundbar automatically plays a notification.

My soundbar automatically turns on and says "Alert!" loudly multiple times.

My camera's got built-in sirens, but this'll add extra security, waking me up and deterring thieves.

You can use the same setup for things that send phone notifications, like door monitors, doorbells, etc.

Now, I need to figure out how I can play a dog barking sound instead. 🤔😂


Hope Samsung adds more features to Modes and Routines. It's a really underrated feature they don't promote enough.
