When it comes to managing your smart home devices, mobile apps play an essential role. One such application is Geeni, a smart platform that allows users to control all compatible devices remotely using a smartphone or computer. In this article, we will show you how to download and install the Geeni app on your computer.
Before we start, we need to point out that the Geeni app is not officially available for a PC. However, there are ways through which we can apply Android on a PC and that is by using an emulator. An emulator is a software that allows you to run Android apps or games on your computer’s operating system. There are several Android emulators available in the market, but in this guide, we will use BlueStacks, which is considered the most popular and reliable emulator. Read more here.
