Use SmartThings on your Windows 10 and 11 PC

The Navigation panel on the left side gives you access to different features in the app, such as your connected devices, your favorites, and the settings menu. Simply click on your preferred category to be taken to its options. You can also select Menu (the three horizontal lines) in the upper left-hand corner to hide the Navigation panel if you’re not currently using it.

To go to another Location in your SmartThings account, select the Down arrow next to the current Location (i.e. Home), and then choose your desired new Location. 

From the Navigation panel, go to your preferred Location, and then select Devices. Select the Power icon next to your desired device to turn it on and off. If your PC has a touchscreen, you can move your devices into different Rooms by simply dragging and dropping them with your finger.
