## What is Universal Search?

OHMe Universal Search is a powerful tool that lets you find and manage any item in your smart home from a single search bar. No need to browse through complicated menus—everything is accessible in seconds.

### How it works

* By typing a keyword, you can instantly locate devices such as lights, thermostats, sensors, your solar system, and much more.
* For example, typing “lights on” shows you immediately which lights are active and allows you to switch them off with a tap.
* By entering a category (like “lights”, “thermostats”, “sensors”), you get a complete overview of all items of that type.

### Quick actions

* Not just search and view: you can interact directly with every device.
* Turn devices on or off, set thermostat temperatures, control window or blind openings, start music, change calendar events.
* OHMe suggests smart quick actions, enabling advanced management without navigating multiple menus.
