a display;

at least one processor including processing circuitry; and

memory storing a first application and a second application,

wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:

receive Internet of things (IoT) device information from a first external server, wherein the IoT device information includes device name information and device function information;

control the display to display a first user interface associated with the first application based on the first application being run;

filter at least one IoT device associated with a function of the first application among a plurality of IoT devices based on the received IoT device information;

control the display to display a second user interface associated with the first application including device name information and device function information about the filtered at least one IoT device based on an input for selecting the first user interface being received;

receive, through the second user interface, an input for selecting a first function of a first IoT device among the at least one IoT device;

set the first function of the first IoT device to operate when a first event which is an execution condition of the function of the first application occurs,

display a third user interface associated with the second application on the display when the second application is run;

filter at least one IoT device associated with a function of the second application among the plurality of IT devices based on the received IoT device information;

display a fourth user interface associated with the second application including device name information and device function information about the filtered at least one IoT device associated with the function of the second application based on being received an input for selecting the third user interface;

receive, through the fourth user interface, an input for selecting a second function of a second IoT device among the at least one IoT device associated with the function of the second application; and

set the second function of the second IoT device to operate when a second event which is an execution condition of the function of the second application occurs,

wherein the function of the first application and the function of the second application are performed independently by the electronic device.
