INTRODUCTION
‘One-click way’ is one of the prominent statements of the 21 st century. Ever wondered if this ‘one-
click away’ can be a reality for your homes and all the device within? Well, the Geeni app is the
prototype of that thought. The article will cover the necessary steps to download the app on a
Windows PC.
An emulator is a particular set of hardware or software that enables the guest system's software
(Geeni app for smartphones) or devices to run on the host system ( the PC). These emulators allow
you to download the Geeni app PC version, which has a UI and functions that are largely the same as
those available on the phone.
After downloading the emulators successfully, we proceed to download the Geeni app as these
criteria have been met. For the PC's security, installing emulators is viable only if the device criteria
are met. Additionally, if the gadget is not capable of supporting its operation, the user-friendly
software won't function properly. There are various emulators available in the market, but the
article covers the leading emulators which are BlueStacks and NoxPlayer.
Easy control: The interface of the app is very user-friendly and the controls on the app to
navigate the usage of the connected devices are simple.
Sharing of account: Account sharing feature that allows access to your trusted family and
friends. The primary user can determine what devices they can control or access.
Tracking Power Usage: It measures your electricity usage per app, in real-time and
accordingly turns the devices on or off. Additionally, the app suggests patterns of saving on
your electricity bill.
Grouping of Devices: It allows the creation of scenes that allow commanding multiple
devices on a single command. Take, for example, all devices in a room, they will turn off with
a click when you leave the room.
The automation feature: With this feature, you can easily schedule the timings of devices
being switched on and off. Combining it with the grouping feature makes it more efficient.
Search for new devices: It searches and suggests the addition of new devices adaptive to the
user’s home and controls them all with a single app.

Disadvantages
1. SmartThings Classic
The management application brings a minimal interface to monitor the devices connected to the
individual’s smart home. It enables the automation of actions that the smart home needs to follow
more than once a day. The usage of Amazon Alexa makes the voice commanding a handy feature.
Devices at home can be monitored even if the user is not home. One simply needs to purchase the
SmartThings Hub and then install the SmartThings Classic app for connecting it to any number of
locks, sensors, lights, and devices.
2. Smart Life
The Tuya Inc. production is another widely used home management app. The app lets you manage
the devices across multiple devices and even share access. A certain distance from home does not
deter the user from controlling the devices at use. The automation in switching devices on and off,
controlling the temperature, and establishing a connection between multiple devices are some of
the best features of the Smart Life app. True to its slogan- Smart living, one experiences a smart
home with the app.
The Kasa Cam keeps an eye on the place it’s been installed, and the live footage can be accessed on
the user’s app from anywhere in the world. Purchase the devices, download the Kasa Smart app and
you’re all set up.
4. HomeSense
The HomeSense app typically lets your phone be the commanding source of your smart home. With
the base version of the app, one can see the status of the connected devices and the usage summary
of these devices. Everything from temperature, lights, and binds to air conditioners can be seen and
controlled. The recent update in the app allows access to selected control symbols and keypad
buttons of the select devices and even the swath type. Download the HomeSense app and enjoy all
the exclusive features that it offers.
