Disclosed are an indication direction-based instruction transmission method and apparatus, a smart device and a storage medium. According to the method, after a first smart device receives a first instruction, a current orientation of a set orientation on the first smart device is determined. It is detected whether there is at least one second smart device in the current orientation or not, and a first detection result is generated. When the first detection result represents that there is at least one second smart device in the current orientation, the first instruction is sent to at least one second smart device in the detected at least one second smart device to enable the at least one second smart device receiving the first instruction to execute the first instruction.
