No matter what your home life is like, you need to be able to connect with technology. Whether you’re using your phone to control your home entertainment or streaming live TV, there’s no denying that technology has a big role to play in our lives. With all of the devices at our disposal, it can be hard to find the time to connect with our tech friends. That’s where Bixby comes in. Bixby is a voice assistant that can be linked to smart outlets. This way, you can easily control your home media without ever having to leave your living room. To make this experience more functional, you need to add an outlet to your smart home. In this guide, we will show you how to link Bixby to smart outlets so that you can control all of your devices from one place.

What Exactly Is Bixby?

Bixby is a virtual assistant for Samsung’s smartphones. Bixby can be used to perform a range of tasks. It is integrated with the device’s camera, enabling you to take pictures and record videos without ever touching your phone. Bixby can also be used as a messaging app, enabling you to send messages using voice commands. It can even be used as a way to manage your calendar and other apps on your phone.

There are two ways to link Bixby to smart outlets. You can either use a Samsung SmartThings device or use the Samsung SmartThings app. The former is a bit easier than the latter because you will be able to set up everything easily without needing any technical knowledge. You will need:

  • SmartThings Home Device: This is an accessory that enables you to control your smart devices from a single place. You will also be able to control other devices that are compatible with the SmartThings platform.
  • **The SmartThings App: **This is an app that enables you to manage your smart devices from anywhere in the world using your smartphone or tablet. It also allows you to control multiple devices at once, and it has a ton of features, such as integration with other apps and voice activation commands for various features in the app.

Step 1: Turn On Your Smart Outlet

The first step is to find the smart outlet in your home and then make sure that it has power. You can do this by checking the status of your smart outlet from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Step 2: Connect Your Smart Outlet

Once you have checked that the outlet has power and you have successfully connected it to SmartThings, it's time to add it. To do this, launch the SmartThings app and tap on "Add device" at the bottom of the screen.

Step 3: Connect Bixby to Your Smart Outlet Using Voice Commands

At this point, you will need to start speaking commands into your smartphone or tablet in order for Bixby to understand what you want him to do. For example, if you want Bixby to turn on or off your smart outlet with a voice command, simply say, "Turn on/off [insert name of your smart outlet"". The same goes for other commands such as "Set brightness" or "Turn on/off [insert name of your smart outlet]".

Step 4: Connect Your Smartphones and Tablets to Your Smart Outlet
