Set up and use the SmartThings Station

The process to set up your SmartThings Station is quick and can be done right from the SmartThings app on your Android or iOS device. Just make sure the SmartThings Station has been turned on before you begin.

As mentioned in the previous section, the SmartThings Station can be connected to your Android or iOS device by using its automatic pop-up message or by scanning its QR code. You can then easily and quickly connect the Station to any mobile device.

Plus, the Station can be relocated to any room in your home! If you’d like to run an automation in your bedroom, for instance, simply place the Station on your dresser or bedside table. Or, move the Station to your home office if you’d like an automation to turn on your lights, close the blinds, and mute your TV while you’re working.

Matter is a brand new protocol that allows you to connect all of your home’s smart devices in one convenient place.
