Let’s face it, laundry isn’t exactly thrilling. What if it could be easier, faster, and actually kind of satisfying?  With SmartThings, your Samsung washer and dryer get a serious upgrade. From real-time updates to remote control and energy savings, SmartThings makes laundry day feel less like a chore and more like a life hack. Stay Connected to Every Load SmartThings has your back (and basket), whether you're on the couch or running errands, SmartThings keeps you in the loop. Get real-time notifications when a cycle starts, pauses, or finishes, so you're never left wondering if the laundry’s done. If a load needs attention (like when it's been sitting too long after drying), SmartThings will send you a gentle nudge before your clothes go from fresh to funky. It’s like having a laundry buddy who never forgets! Customize Cycles to Fit Your Needs Forget digging through manuals or pressing buttons at random. SmartThings makes it easy to tailor your washer and dryer settings, helping you choose the perfect cycle based on your load type, size, and fabric. Beyond choosing the temperature and spin intensity, select optimized cycles directly in the app based on your fabric type, load size, or soil level. Here are just a few examples of features and cycles: Activewear: Designed for jersey and moisture-wicking gym clothes Bedding: Designed for bulky sheets and comforters Baby Care: Gently sanitize clothes at a high temperature Fabric Specific Cycles: Wool, Denim, Delicates, a custom cycle based on the fabrics within Wrinkle Prevent: Optional setting to keep clothes wrinkle-free for up to three hours Damp Alert: Be notified for the optimal time to iron clothes right out of the dryer Eco-modes: Energy-saving mode that balances performance and efficiency Unemptied Laundry Alerts: We all forget clothes sometimes, but now you can be reminded up to 24 hours to remove your clothes from the washer or take them out for folding Sensor Dry: Automatically adjusts time based on moisture levels You can even save your combinations, so your go-to routines are ready with one tap. Prevent and Diagnose Issues Before They Disrupt Your Day Your washer and dryer are smart, and with SmartThings, they practically think for themselves.  SmartThings makes troubleshooting easy, becoming a proactive experience. Not only can you select maintenance modes to help keep your washer and dryer clean, but SmartThings can also alert you to performance issues and guide you through self-diagnosis steps, often before you even realize there’s a problem. This helps prevent breakdowns and saves you time (and service calls). Control Laundry From Anywhere, Anytime Running late? Mid-binge watch on your favorite show? Cozy in bed? No problem.  Start, stop, or monitor your washer and dryer directly from your phone, and even schedule cycles to run when energy rates are lower or it’s simply more convenient. It’s smarter laundry on your terms, saving time, energy, and hassle. Built-In Intelligence SmartThings doesn’t just connect your appliances, it helps them work smarter together. For example, it can recommend optimal drying settings based on the type of wash cycle you just completed. Washed a load with Heavy Duty mode? SmartThings will recommend the best dryer settings to match. The result? Better fabric care and less guesswork. It’s time to bring smarter care to your clothes—and a little more free time back in your day. Download the SmartThings app and connect your Samsung washer and dryer to unlock the full potential of your laundry room.

SmartThings Adds New Apple Watch Capabilities, Routine Creation Assistant, and Dark Mode to iOS If you’re using SmartThings on iOS, get ready because your smart home experience just leveled up. We’ve rolled out a suite of new features designed to give you more control, more personalization, and more reasons to love your smart home. Whether you have an Apple Watch, are a dark mode enthusiast, or someone just starting with home automation, there's something new for you. Let’s break it down. Control Your Smart Home from Your Apple Watch We’ve seriously upgraded the SmartThings Apple Watch app. Until now, you had the capability to run manual routines, but now, you can also switch between locations, control individual devices, and manage your smart home without ever picking up your phone. Imagine unlocking the door and turning on the hallway lights before you even get out of the car. All from your wrist. It’s that easy. Routine Creation Just Got Way Easier Ever wish you could just tell your smart home what to do? Now you kinda can. A key highlight of the update is the introduction of the Routine Creation Assistant, an AI-powered feature that allows users to build automations using natural language. By simply typing a phrase such as “Turn off all the lights when I leave the house,” users can generate customized routines without needing to manually configure each device or setting. Powered by large language model technology, the assistant lowers the barrier to smart home automation, making it approachable for beginners and efficient for experienced users alike. Hello, Dark Mode Night owls and low-light lovers can rejoice as Dark Mode has officially landed on SmartThings iOS. It’s sleek, easy on the eyes, and even helps save battery life. Whether you're adjusting routines late at night or just prefer a more subtle interface, Dark Mode has you covered. Easier Tracking with SmartThings Find Losing track of your stuff? SmartThings Find makes life easier, especially if you’re juggling both Galaxy and Apple devices in your household. Using a Galaxy SmartTag and SmartThings Find, Galaxy users can now share the location of a SmartTag via a link with Apple users who have a Samsung account, making it easier than ever for everyone to help track down missing devices or tagged items. Whether you’re handing off your Galaxy SmartTag to a friend or trying to locate your suitcase from someone else's phone, cross-platform coordination is now part of the experience. Try Before you Automate with Virtual Home Say hello to Virtual Home, a playful, hands-on experience that lets you test out SmartThings features without needing to connect a single device. Whether you're curious about setting up a routine, adjusting lighting, or just seeing how a smart home could work, Virtual Home gives you a chance to click around and get inspired. With features like Family & Pet Care, users can receive instant notifications of any activity in the home or always have peace of mind with SmartTags on pet collars, which ensure anyone who finds a lost pet has the info they need to locate the owner. Discover SmartThings Energy to monitor power consumption and get an estimate on upcoming energy bills. Explore, experiment, and imagine what your smart home can do with no commitment required. And We’re Just Getting Started These updates join a lineup of iOS favorites you might already be using, like Quick Remote for controlling Samsung devices in seconds, SmartThings Energy for tracking real-time energy use, and QR code sharing, which makes it easy to share routine and device access with other members of your household. We’re always working to make SmartThings smarter, faster, and more tailored to your life. So explore the new features, build a few routines, and turn your home into the helpful, responsive place it was meant to be. Update your app today!

New tools include AI-powered routine creation, expanded Calm Onboarding, and SmartThings Find link sharing for easier device control and tracking. Samsung Electronics introduced updates to its global connected living platform SmartThings, bringing enhanced AI-driven automation tools, broader product onboarding support, and improved connectivity features to users worldwide. Designed to make connected living easier and more personalized, the latest updates simplify the smart home experience across both Android and iOS platforms. AI-Powered Routine Creation Makes Automation Easier Than Ever A key highlight of the update is the introduction of the Routine Creation Assistant1, an AI-powered feature that allows users to build automations using natural language. By simply typing a phrase such as “Turn off all the lights when I leave the house,” users can generate customized routines without needing to manually configure each device or setting. Powered by large language model technology, the assistant lowers the barrier to smart home automation, making it approachable for beginners and efficient for experienced users alike. Smarter Scheduling and Routine Confirmation OptionsThe new Delay Actions also enable routines to include timed steps. For example, users can now create a “Good Morning” routine that turns on bedroom lights at 7:00 a.m., starts the coffee maker 15 minutes later, and opens curtains while playing music after 30 minutes all within a single routine. Additionally, a new Confirm to Run Actions2 feature gives users the option to confirm whether or not to execute a routine. This helps avoid accidental actions in shared households, such as a security mode that is set to activate upon exit but another family member is still at home. Calm Onboarding Expands to 58 Countries Samsung is also expanding its Calm Onboarding3 program, designed to streamline the product setup journey from purchase to use. Once a user purchases an eligible Samsung product via Samsung.com or a Samsung Store, SmartThings can now automatically detect, register, and connect the product to the app. With this update, support for Calm Onboarding has expanded from 14 to 58 countries and now includes Galaxy wearable devices like Galaxy Watch and Buds. Select partner devices purchased through Samsung.com in Korea and the UK are also eligible for onboarding, with further global expansion planned. SmartThings Find Adds Sharing for Easier Tracking The update also enhances SmartThings Find4, Samsung's global location service with over 67 million users. Galaxy users can now share the location of SmartTags via URL, allowing friends and family, including iOS users, to track tagged items like bags, pets, or luggage more easily. This update brings added convenience to families and users on the go, making it easier to coordinate and locate shared items. Enhanced SmartThings Access on iOS Smartwatches iOS users can now access SmartThings features via a new widget on Apple Watch, making it easier to control lights, air conditioning, and routines directly from the wrist. This improvement brings faster access and convenience to users managing smart home tasks on the go. “This SmartThings update will help anyone easily create a smart home that fits their lifestyle,” said Mark Benson, Head of SmartThings US. “SmartThings will continue to innovate so users can spend less time managing devices and more meaningful time with their families.” SmartThings continues to lead in smart home innovation, offering users across the globe a smarter, more personalized, and more intuitive connected living experience.

Recipients must log in with a Samsung account to access shared locations.

If you haven’t heard, starting July 8, 2025, Sonos will begin rolling out updates to its platform to comply with new EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Regulations. While these regulations originate in the EU, the upcoming platform changes will affect all Sonos users globally, including those using SmartThings integrations. Read on for a breakdown of what’s changing, how it may impact you, and what you may need to do to keep everything working smoothly. What’s Changing? Sonos is introducing a new feature in its app that allows users to require authentication for third-party control integrations, like SmartThings. This is a user-controlled, opt-in change. Which means, if you don’t take any action, your existing Sonos integrations with SmartThings will continue to work as usual. However, if your speakers were connected through the Sonos app and you decide to  opt in to the new third-party authentication requirement:  You’ll need to link your Sonos and SmartThings accounts to keep your integration running. Once linked, everything will continue to work as normal, including routines and automations. SmartThings will send a notification via the SmartThings app prompting you to connect your accounts. If you use an EOL hub and wish to continue using your Sonos speakers, do not opt in to the third-party authentication requirement in the Sonos app.  Not sure if the update will affect you? Use this chart to double-check.  How to Link a Device Account in the SmartThings App Follow these steps to link your Sonos account to SmartThings seamlessly.  Step 1: Open and sign in to the SmartThings app. Step 2: Tap the "+" sign in the upper right corner. Step 3: Tap "Add Device." Step 4: Search for the service by brand or category. Step 5: Tap "Link Account" or a similar option. Step 6: Sign in to your account with the third-party service. Step 7: Authorize SmartThings to access your account. Your devices or services will appear in SmartThings under Devices or Linked Services.

SmartThings continues to invest in the Developer Center with tools for partners such as Test Suite, Product Cloning, and Certification by Similarity to simplify product integration and certification for a single product or an entire portfolio. After obtaining Works with SmartThings (WWST) certification, Analytics helps our partners gain valuable insights about how users interact with their products. With the goal of making integration easy for partners, SmartThings added another tool in the integration process called the Device Profile Builder, allowing partners to specify a device’s capabilities and how it interacts within the SmartThings ecosystem. “We’ve heard from developers that they wanted an easier way to build their devices with SmartThings. A tool with an intuitive user-friendly interface that would work for any device” says Nate Porras, Senior Product Manager at SmartThings. “We feel like we accomplished that with Device Profile Builder.” SmartThings currently offers Device Profile Builder for Cloud integrations and soon for Direct Connected and Mobile Connected integrations. “Device Profile Builder is nicely designed and straightforward to use.  You can create a Device Profile effortlessly.  We are always trying to find the simplest way to integrate, and Device Profile Builder is a key tool in that process.” Anthony Richardson, QA Engineer at August Home Read on to learn about Device Profile Builder and how to get started.   Device Profile Builder SmartThings Device Profile Builder is a web-based tool that assists developers with creating Device Profiles, which define a device and its features on the SmartThings platform through Capabilities. It contains the Components - which is a group of SmartThings Capabilities - and metadata (ID, name, ownership, and more) of a device, defining how a device on the SmartThings platform behaves. For example, with a light, the component contains four common Capabilities for lights including Switch, Switch Level, Color Control, and Color Temperature.

Discover how SmartThings routines bring ease, energy, and calm to your everyday life. We all have routines—those little sequences of actions that shape our mornings, help us stay focused, or ease us into a restful night. But what if those routines could just… happen? With SmartThings, they can. By connecting your favorite smart devices into one seamless ecosystem, SmartThings takes the guesswork—and the extra steps—out of everyday life. Whether you’re easing into your morning, heading out the door, or getting into a fitness flow, SmartThings routines can transform ordinary moments into something a little more magical. Here are a few of our favorite examples: Good Morning: Wake Up Ready There’s nothing like starting your day with intention—and a little automation. With the Good Morning routine, your home comes to life right alongside you. Whether triggered by a set time, motion sensor, or your Galaxy Watch or Ring detecting you’ve woken up, this routine helps you rise and shine effortlessly. Philips Hue lights gradually brighten to simulate a natural sunrise, gently easing you awake. At the same time, Somfy blinds rise to let in real sunlight and boost your mood. Samsung TV Plus tunes in to your local morning news—no remote needed. Meanwhile, the Eve Smart Plug powers up your coffee pot in the kitchen, so your first cup is ready when you are. Let’s Get Physical: Your Wellness Oasis, On Demand Fitness isn’t just about reps—it’s about creating the right environment. With the Let’s Get Physical routine, SmartThings sets the scene so you can focus on your workout, not the setup. Your favorite yoga or workout playlist begins streaming automatically through your Sonos speaker, while your Bosch air purifier quietly activates to keep the air fresh and allergen-free—helping you breathe deeper and stay focused. A virtual instructor appears on your Samsung TV, guiding you through every move. Meanwhile, the Nest Thermostat drops the temperature slightly to keep you cool and comfortable as you get your sweat on. Good Bye: Peace of Mind as You Head Out Leaving the house shouldn’t require a dozen double-checks. Let SmartThings take care of it all—so you can head out with peace of mind and come home to a calm, refreshed space. As your Good Bye routine kicks in, Somfy blinds lower to protect your privacy and improve energy efficiency. The Samsung JetBot gets to work, vacuuming your floors while you’re away. LIFX lights turn off automatically to save energy, and your Ecobee thermostat shifts into eco-mode or adjusts to a more efficient temperature. For extra reassurance, your Arlo outdoor cameras activate—quietly keeping an eye on things until you return. Make the Magic Happen In the SmartThings app, you can tap into a library of curated experiences designed to simplify your life. Just head to the “Discover” section in the Routines tab to explore popular options like Gentle Wake Up, Energy Saver, and more—prebuilt and ready to go.

Choose “If” conditions — like time of day, motion detection, or your Galaxy device waking up. Add your “Then” actions — such as turning on lights, adjusting the thermostat, or starting your playlist. Give your routine a name and hit Save. It's as simple as that!! Other Smart Routines to Try Looking to take things even further? Here are a few more ideas SmartThings users love: Movie Night: Lights dim, TV switches to your favorite streaming app, sound system powers on, and blinds close for a theater-like experience. Welcome Home: Garage door opens as you pull in, front door unlocks as you arrive, hallway lights turn on, thermostat adjusts, and your favorite music greets you. Wind Down: Lights shift to a warm glow, blinds lower, calming sounds or white noise plays, and devices like TVs or tablets shut off at a set time. SmartThings routines are all about making life simpler, smoother, and a little more fun. The best part? You can customize every detail to suit your lifestyle and the devices you already use. Want to wake up to jazz instead of the news? Prefer working out with a HIIT session over yoga? You’re in control—SmartThings just helps make it happen automatically.

Samsung SmartThings puts smart home hubs right where you need them—built into the devices you already own. Not long ago, setting up a smart home meant buying a separate hub, plugging it in, and hoping it would work with all your devices. Hubs were the essential link, helping smart lights, locks, thermostats, and more to communicate seamlessly. They were also often a separate device you needed to choose and buy, find a spare power and network cable for, and set up and maintain. Today, thanks to Samsung's Hub Everywhere strategy, hubs aren’t just little boxes anymore—they’re built right into the devices you already use every day. Your Smart Home Hub Might Already Be Here Samsung makes starting and growing your smart home easier by building smart home hubs directly into many of its products. That means your Samsung TV, Smart Monitor, Family Hub refrigerator, or Sound Bar could already be a smart home hub—ready to connect and control devices without the need to buy and set up another device. For those who prefer a standalone hub, SmartThings Hubs are still available. But for many, Samsung’s Hub Everywhere strategy is making smart home adoption more seamless than ever. What is a Smart Home Hub, and Why Does It Matter? A smart home hub acts as the translator and coordinator for your smart devices. Different smart home products use different communication methods—such as Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth. A hub allows them to work together, enabling automations, remote control, and a more cohesive smart home experience. Think of a hub as the conductor of your smart home orchestra, keeping things coordinated so your lights dim, doors lock, and thermostat adjusts exactly when and how you want—without you needing to manage each device separately. And as the smart home industry moves toward Matter, the universal smart home standard, compatibility between brands and products will only get better—making built-in hubs even more valuable. A Smarter Approach to Smart Homes In the early days, standalone hubs were the only option. But now, with hubs integrated into your Samsung devices, this means: No extra setup – Your smart home hub is already built into your TV, fridge, or monitor, no extra cables or power required. When a hub is available in a Samsung TV, the option to enable will instantly pop up to set up through the SmartThings App.  Onboard your TV Hub in less than a minute: Walk through the easy steps to onboard the built in hub on your new TV from the first time you power it on. No added cost – You don’t need to buy a separate device to connect your smart home. Easier to start your smart home – More people can experience a fully connected home without the hassle of additional hardware. Do You Already Have a Smart Home Hub? If you’ve purchased a Samsung TV, monitor, or appliance in the past few years, there’s a good chance you already have a built-in SmartThings hub.
