In the ‘Devices’ section, users can view and control all devices, connecting TVs, light bulbs, and other appliances.
Life section will give access to new SmartThings services, like SmartThings Cooking.
Automations section will connect all smart devices and allow them to work together and respond to specific conditions in the home, such as a door opening and a light turning on.
Menu section will have additional features including SmartThings Labs, Notifications, History, and Settings.
