Add and manage devices and appliances in SmartThings
With the ever-growing number of smart devices and appliances in your home, you need a way to keep up with them all. What if we told you there's an app for controlling your smart devices on your phone? That is right, the SmartThings app can add and manage all your smart devices in one place.
Note: The provided information refers to devices sold in Canada. The available screens and settings may differ for devices sold in other countries. If you are adding Z-Wave devices that have been connected previously, make sure they have been removed or excluded before adding them to the new hub. You can visit the SmartThings website to check device compatibility and gather more information.
When you are ready to take control of all your smart devices, just use the following guidelines. But first, you should double check if your devices are compatible.
Your devices can be added using your iPhone as well. But first, you should double check if your devices are compatible.
So, you have added a whole bunch of devices - now what? You can easily monitor and control them right from the app. You can also use your phone as a TV remote through SmartThings.
Note: To select a different location, tap the Home icon and tap your desired location. Tap the drop-down menu and then tap All devices again.
Note: The available controls may vary depending on the device.
You can control your devices on your iPhone too, such as turning on a smart bulb or pausing a smart cam.

With the Device panel on your Galaxy phone, you can view and access your SmartThings devices and scenes without navigating to the SmartThings app. It is a great shortcut if you want to save some time.
On your phone, swipe down from the top of the screen using two fingers to open the Quick settings panel, and then tap Device control.
Your scenes and SmartThings devices will be displayed. If it is your first time using the panel, you will be asked to choose the devices and scenes you would like to appear.
If needed, you can change the name or location of a connected device. For example, maybe you have multiple smart bulbs added and want to give them different names so you can tell them apart. Or, maybe you moved a device to a new room in your house and want to change it in the app as well.
Note: You cannot edit the details for Bluetooth devices.
You can adjust the following settings:
- Device name: Edit the name of the device.
- Location: Change the device's location.
- Room: Choose which room the device is in.
- Set as favourite: Set the device as a favorite device.
- Add to Home screen: Create a shortcut for the device on the phone's Home screen.
- Remove device: Remove the device from your SmartThings account.
You can edit the details using your iPhone as well.

If you just got a new TV and want to remove the old one from SmartThings, it is easy to do so.
If you are not using a device anymore, you can remove it from your iPhone as well.
When you are removing home appliance products with touchscreens from the SmartThings app (like Family Hub refrigerators or some ranges or ovens), keep in mind that they may remain logged in to your Samsung account. This is because the appliance maintains your account information on the device itself. A factory reset will clear the information off these appliances.
