Use SmartThings Find with the SmartThings App

If you’ve lost track of a device, just open the SmartThings app to use SmartThings Find. The devices you have registered will appear on a map so you can easily find anything that you have misplaced.

Step 1. Navigate to and open the SmartThings app. Then, tap the Life tab and tap the new SmartThings Find card. If prompted, tap Download to download the necessary add-ons. If needed, tap Agree.
Step 2. Next, select the devices you’d like to see on the location map, then tap Done.
Step 3. You'll see a map containing the devices you selected. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view detailed information about your devices, such as their approximate locations.
Step 4. Select a specific device by tapping it on the map.

• If Galaxy Buds are lost while inside the case, the location cannot be confirmed.

• When there is no Galaxy device that helps lost devices nearby, the location cannot be confirmed.

• SmartThings Find is available globally, except for in China.

• SmartThings Find is available in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

You can narrow down locations and view navigation directions for your misplaced devices using the SmartThings Find card. Or, if you know a device is nearby, you can make it ring loudly so you can find it faster.

Step 1. Navigate to and open the SmartThings app, then tap the Life tab to view SmartThings Find.
Step 2. The SmartThings Find card will display your currently added Galaxy devices along the bottom panel; tap each one to view its name and location on the map. Tap the Refresh icon under your device's name to reload the location tracking.
Step 3. Tap the map to open SmartThings Find and see more options.
Step 4. Tap the Menu icon (it has three dots with three lines) in the bottom right to view your devices. Tap a device to view it on the map, then zoom in on the map by pinching the screen with your fingers.

SmartThings Find includes extra options to make it easier to find your devices. For instance, you can add or remove devices that SmartThings will be able to locate, and also share location information with other Galaxy users.

To begin, navigate to and open the SmartThings app, then tap the Life tab. Tap the SmartThings Find card, then tap More options (the three vertical dots) to use the following options:

If you have the Samsung SmartTag, you can attach it to your keys, your purse, your backpack, or anything that you can’t afford to misplace. Once the SmartTag has been connected with the SmartThings app on your device, you can use it to track and find your items whenever you need to. You won’t need to pay for the basic tracking service, either!

The Offline finding feature in SmartThings Find works in conjunction with Find My Mobile to help you locate your missing device, even when it's turned off or not online. Once your device has been offline for 30 minutes, it will produce a signal that can be received by other devices. A nearby Galaxy device user can then assist you with finding your lost device by sending that information to Samsung’s server. On the other hand, the feature also allows you to encrypt your device's offline location so only you can access it. 

However, you'll first need to turn on the Offline finding feature for the service or offline encryption to work.

Step 1. Navigate to and open the SmartThings app, then tap the Life tab. Tap the SmartThings Find card.
Step 2. Tap More options (the three vertical dots), then tap Settings.
Step 3. Tap Allow devices to be found, then tap the switch next to Offline finding. This feature works with Find My Mobile to locate your device, even if it's offline.
