People can tell their TV what to do. They can say things like “Turn on the TV” or “Change to channel 5”. They can also ask Bixby to find shows or movies. For example, saying “Find action movies” works. Adjusting volume is easy too. Commands like “Volume up” or “Mute” are understood. This helps when the phone rings.
This feature works with several Samsung devices. People can use Bixby on their Samsung Galaxy phones, Galaxy Watches, or Galaxy Buds. They use their voice through these devices to control the TV. No need to touch the remote.
Setting it up is straightforward. Users need a compatible Samsung TV and a compatible Samsung mobile device. They link the TV to the Samsung SmartThings app. Then they connect their mobile device to the TV within SmartThings. That’s it. They are ready to use voice commands.
The benefit is clear convenience. People control their TV without searching for the remote. They can change channels while cooking. They can pause a show from across the room. No more hunting for buttons in the dark. It makes the TV experience hands-free and faster.
