Set up and use the SmartThings app with WearOS

The first step to using the SmartThings app is to make sure it's installed on both your Galaxy Watch4 and your phone. SmartThings comes preinstalled on Galaxy phones, but you can download it from the Play Store if needed. Make sure your watch is connected to the Galaxy Wearable app on your phone before starting.

When you add locations to the SmartThings app on your phone, they will also be available on your Galaxy Watch4. This makes it easy to switch between your locations whenever you need to check a scene or device. Please see the next two sections for more information about scenes and devices.

The SmartThings app’s software information is also available on your watch. After selecting a location, swipe up and tap About. You’ll see the app version, supported features, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy. You will need to use your phone to view some of this information.

Note: If you don’t see any scenes or devices after selecting a location, you can tap SHOW ON PHONE to open the SmartThings app on your phone instead. 

Only your favorited scenes and devices will display on your Galaxy Watch4. To ensure you can access your most-used scenes and devices on your watch, you can add them to the Favorites tab using the SmartThings app.

Note: If you don’t see any scenes or devices after selecting a location, you can tap SHOW ON PHONE to open the SmartThings app on your phone instead. 

The SmartThings app on your Galaxy Watch4 allows you to play scenes and turn on your connected devices. Remember, only favorited scenes and devices will appear on your watch. Please see the previous section for more information about adding items to your favorites.
