The GearBrain, Easiest Way to Find & Store Your Smart Home Devices
The GearBrain is a pioneering recommendation engine that helps users research, discover, buy, and learn how to connect and optimize smart devices. It helps consumers find products for their homes that are effective, efficient, and crucially work together — the most comprehensive find engine for smart devices. We can help you find, buy and connect smart devices that not only work in your home but also those devices that you wear and take with you in the car, to the office, or on the road.
Our latest version of The GearBrain will also help you troubleshoot any issues you might run into while connecting these devices together so that you can integrate them into your life easily and quickly.
What is The GearBrain?
The platform includes over 300 different categories of smart devices — everything you could ever want for your smart life — along with all the details you'll need. We've included technical specs, links to customer service support, owner's manuals, setup guides, and warranty information, all digitally stored in one place, simple to find when you need them. Even better, you'll never have to hold onto any of these materials again if you register your devices in your profile on The GearBrain. We will keep it safe and sound for free.

How Does The GearBrain Work?
The GearBrain is simple to use. First, open a free account. Once registered, you can visit the four categories: Products, My Gear, Brands, and Resources. Here is a little information about each type:
- We'll help you find smart devices based on specific product categories in Products. For example, you can easily find product information on Samsung SmartThings Hub or any smart device based on its UPC or model number. Soon, you will be able to find products based on specific details — such as those that work with Google Assistant — and devices that will work with anything you've stored in the "My Gear" section.
- In "My Gear," you'll find your profile and a list of your smart devices. You can even group products according to the room where they work in your home. Once you add your devices to your profile, you can check out product pages like a setup guide or owner's manual. These will always be available and readable for any device, from a tablet to a PC, laptop to a smartphone.
- In Brands, people can find devices specific to a manufacturer or company if they have a brand preference.
- In Resources, you'll go directly to product information for any product, including the warranty and technical specs. You'll also be able to find reviews, how-to videos, and product FAQs in this section.
