SmartThings

Effortlessly manage your Samsung Smart TVs, appliances, and a wide range of SmartThings-compatible devices with the power of SmartThings. This innovative platform offers seamless connectivity, allowing you to control your entire smart home ecosystem from a single, user-friendly app.

SmartThings is designed to work with hundreds of smart home brands, ensuring that you can oversee all your gadgets in one centralized hub. Whether it's your Samsung Smart TV, smart home appliances, smart speakers, or even devices from brands like Ring, Nest, and Philips Hue, SmartThings makes integration simple and efficient.

With SmartThings, you gain the ability to connect, monitor, and control multiple smart home devices more quickly and easily than ever before. Plus, you can enhance your smart home experience by using voice assistants such as Alexa, Bixby, and Google Assistant to command your devices.

Key Features

• Remotely manage and monitor your home from anywhere in the world.
• Create personalized routines triggered by time, weather, or device status to ensure your home operates smoothly behind the scenes.

Please note that SmartThings is optimized for Samsung smartphones, and some features may be limited when using devices from other manufacturers. Additionally, the availability of certain features may vary by country.

For an even more convenient experience, you can install SmartThings on Wear OS-based watches. When connected to your mobile phone, your smartwatch allows quick access to routines and device control through the SmartThings tile. You can also utilize SmartThings complications to directly access the app from your watch face.
