This solution allows small business owners and self-employed individuals to manage their businesses remotely.
Automating Business Tasks
The SmartThings Pro solution helps businesses automate several operations, making it easier for owners to manage tasks:

By automating these processes, business owners can focus more on running their operations and less on worrying about equipment.
Use Case: Food Truck Owners
