SmartThings Find helps you find your smartphone even if it doesn’t have an internet connection. After 30 minutes offline, the smartphone sends a BLE signal, which can be received by another device. Smartphones and tablets nearby can help you find your gadget. Instructions on the map and the ability to call your smartphone will help you find your missing device. When the user approaches the desired point, he will receive a sound signal, and the image of the lost gadget on the screen will become brighter.
