Varies With Device (Safe & Secure)
With Samsung SmartThings, you can connect and control multiple devices quicker and easier. No matter where you are, you can monitor and control smart devices, home appliances (refrigerator, wine cellar, washer, dryer, oven range, dishwasher, cooktop, robot vacuum, air conditioner, air purifier and etc.), TVs, and speakers registered on the server.
What is SmartThings?
SmartThings is a brand owned by Samsung. SmartThings isn’t a device but rather a name that Samsung tacks onto other products or uses to indicate it works within the setup. It’s also the name of the app you use to control all the smart devices and products in your home.
In addition to being a brand name, “SmartThings” refers to the cloud-based intelligence that makes your smart homework, as well as the companion app you use to control it all. It’s similar to how “Alexa” refers to both the intelligence that powers an Amazon Echo device and the app you use to set it up, customize your settings, and control your devices.
Samsung has announced that it’s coming out soon with its own smart speaker and assistant, called Galaxy Home and Bixby.
If your system software version is lower than Android 6.0, please update the software to configure App permissions.
Previously allowed permissions can be reset on the Apps menu in device settings after software update. You may also visit our Samsung SmartView Application.
