Pairing SmartThings and gaming is a neon-drenched dream

In days gone by, playing video games meant owning separate bits of hardware that operated independently from one another. Now, you can boot up your TV directly into a game while dimming your smart lights to set the mood.

That’s what I did while testing Samsung’s latest TV and smart home technology, and it made for a cool gaming experience. We’ve previously hailed Samsung’s S95F OLED TV as a great gaming display, and it dazzles even more in a home environment.

By setting up a routine via Samsung’s SmartThings platform, I could dim and change the colour of a set of Philips Hue lights, automatically launch a cloud gaming session on the TV, and connect a controller — all without any further input.

Check it out in action via GadgetGuy‘s YouTube channel; it’s a great way to settle into your evening gaming routine.
