To make this viable, Samsung based the service on three points: Device Control, Home View and Smart Customer Services. Check below what each of these functions will be able to do.
Device control

Using the Smart Home management application, the user can control multiple devices simultaneously from wherever they are.
The coolest part of this is that voice commands can be used to control appliances and gadgets, but that will only work if your device has support for the Galaxy S Voice, for example.

Home View lets you use your smartphone to get a real-time image of your home, a kind of security system from cameras on other home devices. So you can use your Smart TV or digital camera to access live images of your sweet home!
