How to manage your Samsung Smart Home when moving
Moving can be stressful, especially when it comes to managing your smart home. If you own a Samsung Smart Home setup, it's important to plan ahead. In this article, we'll provide you with some tips on how to manage your smart home effectively during a move.
Smart homes, like traditional homes, sometimes require moving on to new places. Whether you're leaving your old home or moving into a new one, it's possible that some smart devices may need to be left behind for the next owner. The good news is that transferring ownership is a straightforward process, even if you can't contact the previous or current owner.
If your device has a screen, like the Family Hub refrigerator, you'll also need to perform a factory reset before removing it from your account. Check the reset section at the end of this article for instructions.
If you're sharing a device with someone else, you'll want to invite them to join your SmartThings home by tapping the "+" button in the Members section. If you need to remove someone from your SmartThings home, you can do so in the Members section, or users can voluntarily leave on their own.
- Note: that granting someone access to your SmartThings home shares the name and Samsung account of all users with access, and grants control of and access to usage history of all devices in the home. It's important to keep this in mind when inviting others to join your SmartThings home.
To set up your new SmartThings capable appliances and devices, follow these steps:
That's it! You're now ready to enjoy your new smart home.
In multi-family rental apartments, ownership turnover often happens but the Wi-Fi network name and password may remain the same. In order to protect the privacy of residents, it's important to reset the network settings of all appliances with each change of resident. Refer to the following section for guidance on resetting the appliances' connectivity settings.
Rest assured that SmartThings ensures the privacy of your information from non-members of your SmartThings home. Unless you leave your Wi-Fi network behind with the same name and password, all the appliances will be disconnected and won't connect online without being set up under a new owner. For added peace of mind and privacy concerns, it's recommended to wipe the appliance completely and do a network reset before leaving it behind.
