Connect and use your Samsung range with SmartThings

When you're relaxing on the sofa after a hectic day, the last thing you want to do is get back up, even if it means your dinner will burn! Luckily, you can use your range's built-in Wi-Fi with the Smart Control feature in the SmartThings app. It lets you monitor and control your gas or electric range using your phone. You can even adjust the cooking time and oven temperature remotely, without ever leaving the sofa.

Connect and use your Samsung range with SmartThings

Note

These steps are for ranges only

 

The available settings and features may vary based on the range model. These instructions only apply to Samsung ranges and not wall ovens or cooktop stoves.

How to tell if your range can connect to SmartThings

If your model can connect to SmartThings, it will have a Smart Control button (either words or icon). If you do not see this button or icon, your model does not have the feature. (You can review your user manual to confirm, if the feature is not mentioned it is because the model does not have it.)

 

This icon will appear when Smart Control is activated and the SmartThings app has authority to control your range. Now that you know, let's get started!

Enable Smart Control so SmartThings can control your range

Now that your range is added as a device in your SmartThings app, you can monitor it at any time. But to control it remotely, you'll need to enable Smart Control as a safety measure to confirm that your oven is ready.

 

After you close the door, tap Smart Control on your range's display to activate the feature (this may appear as a button on certain models).

 

The authority to control your range remotely will be canceled once the door is opened, or once you finish or cancel cooking. If this happens, simply close the door and tap the Smart Control button again.

 

Next open the SmartThings app on your phone, and then navigate to the location with your range. Select your range’s card to remotely control your range.

In the next section we'll cover what you can do now that you're in control.

Use SmartThings to control your range

Important

Gas ranges cannot ignite remotely

 

For safety reasons, you cannot turn on a gas oven remotely. Once turned on, though, you will be able to control the oven in other ways, such as adjusting temperature or turning the oven off.
