SmartThings

Connected home control

SmartThings brings compatible smart-home devices into one Android app. It suits people who use Samsung TVs, appliances, lights, sensors, or other connected equipment and want one place to check status and manage everyday controls. The app is developed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and has passed 1 billion installs.

Devices and routines

SmartThings can connect with Samsung products and selected devices from other brands, helping reduce the need to move between separate control apps. You can organize devices in the app and create routines that respond to conditions such as time, weather, or device status. That makes it useful for simple actions, such as adjusting several devices together, as well as more involved home setups.

• Control compatible connected devices from a central dashboard.
• Set routines around schedules, conditions, and device activity.
• Receive notifications about events or changes at home.
• Access selected controls and status information through supported Wear OS features.

Best suited to Samsung households

The app is most compelling when Samsung devices are already part of your home. Support for compatible third-party products can make it a practical shared control point, but available functions depend on the device and its ecosystem. Users with larger setups may need time to arrange devices and understand the routine options.

At a glance

With a 4.59 rating from more than 4.3 million reviews, SmartThings is a widely used choice in the Lifestyle category. It is a good fit for anyone who wants to monitor and coordinate compatible home devices from an Android phone, especially when Samsung hardware is at the center of the setup.
