Samsung is looking to make SmartThings more intuitive, with devices that can automatically run themselves based on your actions.

Think of motion sensors, and your first thought probably goes to security. An intruder enters your property, the sensors detect them, and floodlights snap on. The same principle applies for ...

We don’t know if different materials or different sensors would require different offsets, but we’d guess they do. There was some very small noise in the sensor output, but, honestly, not much.
