Connect and control your Smart Home devices quickly and easily with SmartThings.

SmartThings is compatible with 100 smart home brands. So, you can control all your Smart Home gadgets in one place, including your Samsung Smart TV and Smart Home appliances.

With SmartThings, you can connect, monitor and control multiple Smart Home devices faster and easier. Connect your Samsung Smart TVs, smart appliances, smart speakers and brands like Ring, Nest and Philips Hue, all from one application.

The SmartThings platform was updated with support for Matter in October, with Samsung rolling out the integration into SmartThings hubs last year. With the app update, Matter-enabled smart home devices that are connected to a SmartThings hub can be controlled with an ‌iPhone‌, ‌iPad‌ or Apple Watch.

Prior to this update, Matter accessories connected to a SmartThings hub could only be controlled with an Android device, but now you can also control Apple devices.

Matter is a smart home standard designed to integrate with major platforms from Apple, Samsung, Google, Amazon and more. A Matter home accessory can connect to both ‌HomeKit‌ and SmartThings, for example, and as long as an appropriate hub is available, it can be controlled via either platform.

The SmartThings app can be downloaded for free from the App Store.
