A Gadget for Keeping Tabs on your Pet
12/17/2018
While many use Samsung’s SmartThings Tracker to keep tabs on kids or keys, another way to use it is to keep tabs on pets and achieve peace of mind when you’re on-the-go.
Whether it’s attaching the tracker to a leash or a furry friend’s collar, SmartThings Tracker allows any pet parent to know exactly where their four-legged friend’s paws are while sipping egg nog away from home this holiday season.
A tracker is only as good as the ways it’s used. Here are the top three use cases of the SmartThings Tracker for pets:
1. Find your pet quickly
The SmartThings Tracker uses cellular LTE technology to ping and track your pet in real time. No matter who is taking care of your pet while you’re away, if SmartThings Tracker is attached to your pet’s collar you can use the SmartThings app to show the Tracker’s location [1] and you can rest assured knowing if he is waiting patiently at home for the dog walker or already getting his daily exercise.
2. Track where your pet has been walked
How long was that “long walk” exactly? Now you don’t have to guess or question how much attention your best friend is getting while you’re away. Through the SmartThings app, you can see the path your pet has taken and view their travel history. SmartThings Tracker is also water resistant and dust-proof based on an IP68 rating* with up to a week’s worth of battery life** so it will still show you the path your pet has taken, despite the weather.
3. Geofencing
With geofencing you can set up and designate addresses or specific locations as points where you can receive notifications as the Tracker (and pet) enters or leaves. Is Spot at the groomer’s yet? How long was Fido at grandma’s house? With SmartThings tracker you can designate specific locations as important and be alerted automatically each time your dog is in a particular place or has run away from there.
With SmartThings Tracker it’s never been so easy to keep a virtual eye on pets, letting you enjoy your holiday while your pet continues to be cute, playful and fun as always.
