Map View in SmartThings

Creating a custom map with Map View lets you draw or design a floor plan and assign devices to each room.

1. Navigate to and open the SmartThings app, and then tap Map View (the house icon) in the top right. Review the information about Map View, and then tap Continue.
   
   
2. You can select from the following options to create your map:
   • Take a picture of your floor plan: Follow the instructions to take a picture of your home.
   • Freehand draw: Draw a floor plan using your finger or an S Pen.
   • Arrange rooms and walls: Follow the prompts to add rooms and walls to a preset layout.
     
3. You’ll need to follow the instructions specific to your desired option.
4. Next, tap the Layout tab at the top of the screen to modify the map’s layout. You can add floors, walls, and dividers. Tap the Rotate icon on the right to expand the toolbar; you can rotate your map and adjust the walls and dividers.
   
   
5. Tap the Interior tab to add interior elements, such as windows, doors, stairs, furniture, and decorations.
6. Tap the Device tab to add your home’s devices to your map. Drag and drop the rooms at the bottom of the screen into the map; the devices in those rooms will be added to the chosen spot on the map. Tap the Device size icon on the right to adjust the device icons if desired.
   
   Note: Each room corresponds to the rooms in your SmartThings app.
   
   
7. When your map is complete, tap Done, and then tap Finish.
   

Once you’re finished creating your home’s map, you’ll be brought to the map layout on the My home screen.

1. Double tap the map to enlarge it, and then tap a room to view the total devices in that room.
   
   
2. The devices in each room will appear as small icons. Tap your desired device icon to view the device’s card. You can then monitor and control the device. Tap Back to return to the map.
3. Tap 3D at the bottom of the screen to enable a three-dimensional map display. Tap 2D to revert to the two-dimensional display.
   
   
4. Tap the Rotate icon at the bottom of the screen to rotate the map. The map will continue rotating each time you tap the icon.
5. Tap More options (the three vertical dots) to use the following:
   • Edit Map View: Add additional rooms, floors, or devices.
   • Remove Map View: Remove your map from SmartThings.
   • Add to Home screen: Add a Map View shortcut to your Home screen.
   • Settings: Display routines and weather information on the map. You can also add a pet, which will inform you about the status of your devices.

6. You can filter the map as well. Tap All devices at the bottom of the screen, and then select from Energy, Temperature, or Lighting.

You'll be able to view your home’s usage details based on the chosen filter, including an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly breakdown. Tap the device drop-down menu at the top of the screen to select from your devices.
