Effortlessly manage your Samsung Smart TVs, appliances, and SmartThings-compatible devices with the powerful SmartThings platform. Designed to streamline your smart home experience, SmartThings lets you quickly connect and control an extensive array of smart home devices, ensuring seamless integration and operation.
SmartThings boasts compatibility with hundreds of leading smart home brands, allowing you to orchestrate all your smart gadgets from a single, user-friendly interface. Whether it's your Samsung Smart TV, smart home appliances, smart speakers, or devices from popular brands like Ring, Nest, and Philips Hue, SmartThings brings them all together under one roof.
With SmartThings, you're empowered to connect, monitor, and control your entire smart home ecosystem with unprecedented ease. Plus, leverage the power of voice assistants such as Alexa, Bixby, and Google Assistant to command your devices hands-free.
Key Features
- Remotely control and monitor your home from anywhere in the world
- Create personalized routines triggered by time, weather, or device status for a smoothly running smart home
- Share control with family or friends by granting them access

While SmartThings is optimized for Samsung smartphones, some features may be limited on other vendors' smartphones. Additionally, availability of certain features may vary by country. You can also extend the convenience of SmartThings to your Wear OS-based smartwatch, although SmartThings for Wear OS requires a connected mobile phone. Enhance your watch experience by adding a SmartThings tile for quick access to routines and device control, and use SmartThings complications for direct access from your watch face.
