SmartThings

Effortlessly manage your Samsung Smart TVs, appliances, and a wide array of SmartThings-compatible devices with the SmartThings app. This powerful tool allows you to seamlessly connect and control your smart home ecosystem, bringing all your devices together under one roof.

SmartThings works harmoniously with hundreds of smart home brands, enabling you to oversee your entire setup, from your Samsung Smart TV to your smart home appliances, all in one convenient place. Whether you're connecting your Samsung smart TVs, smart appliances, smart speakers, or integrating devices from popular brands like Ring, Nest, and Philips Hue, SmartThings simplifies the management of your smart home.

Take control of your smart devices with ease using voice assistants such as Alexa, Bixby, and Google Assistant. With SmartThings, you can monitor and control multiple smart home devices quickly and efficiently, ensuring your home operates smoothly and seamlessly.

Key Features

• Remotely control and monitor your home from anywhere in the world.
• Set up routines triggered by time, weather, or device status to automate your home's operations.
• Share control with family members or other users by granting them access.
• Stay informed with automated notifications about your devices' status.

While SmartThings is optimized for Samsung smartphones, some features may be limited when used with other vendors' smartphones. Additionally, availability of certain features may vary by country. For added convenience, you can also install SmartThings on Wear OS-based watches, which is particularly useful when the watch is connected to a mobile phone. Add the SmartThings tile to your watch for quick access to routine runs and device control, and utilize SmartThings complications for direct access from your watch face.
