How do I add my TV to the SmartThings app?
The SmartThings app allows you to connect, automate and manage all your Samsung and SmartThings-compatible appliances in a single easy-to-use app.
Please note:
- Each device needs to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network
- All devices should be registered through a single Samsung Account

Troubleshooting
Ensure that your smartphone and your TV are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and signed into the same Samsung account.
If the TV has already been registered (under a previous owner's app for example), you will get the message 'Someone else has already registered this device'. When this pops up, tap RESET and try to register it again.
