Abstract

A method for controlling a device is provided. The method includes: receiving operation mode configuration information broadcast by a wearable device, in which the operation mode configuration information contains a device identifier corresponding to the wearable device; obtaining an operation parameter corresponding to the device identifier; and operating according to the operation parameter. Accordingly, the smart household device may detect the device identifier of the wearable device, and operate automatically according to the corresponding operation parameter, and thus the user does not need to manually adjust the operation mode of the smart device frequently, which brings convenience to the user.
