Use SmartThings on your 2021 Samsung Smart TV

To begin, press the Home button on your Smart TV's remote, and then navigate to and select SmartThings. The menu at the top of the screen will help you find your devices.

Select your desired option:

• + Add device: Allows you to add a new device directly to SmartThings on the Smart TV. To search for devices, select Refresh and then choose the device from the list on the left. Follow any on-screen instructions to finish adding the device. Select Edit to remove a device from the list.

• Map: Displays a circular map of all the connected devices in your SmartThings account. Use your remote to select individual devices so you can control them or view their status. You can also view your Scenes while in List view by pressing the right navigation button on your remote.

• List: This will show all your connected SmartThings devices in a categorized list. You can use your remote to navigate through each list to find what you need. Select your devices to control them or view their status, or select a Scene to activate it.

• Home: Select this drop-down to view your locations in the SmartThings app. For example, if you have locations named Home, Living Room, and Kitchen, those names will appear in the drop-down so you can select them.

Press the Home button on your TV’s remote. Navigate to and select SmartThings on your Smart TV, and then select + Add Device.

When it appears, select your phone from the list of available devices.

Next, navigate to your phone’s Bluetooth settings and select your Smart TV from the list of available devices.

Your TV will ask for permission to connect to your phone. Select Allow on the Smart TV, and then tap Pair on your phone. Music Wall will open on your Smart TV. Now, open an audio app on your phone, such as Spotify, and begin playing music.

The audio will play through the TV’s speakers. You can use your phone’s volume keys to increase or decrease the music's volume.

On a Galaxy phone, you can control the audio output from your phone as well. Just swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification panel, and find the SmartThings Audio output notification. Tap the name of your TV or the name of your phone to switch the output as desired.

Just plug in your gaming system to the HDMI port on your TV and turn it on. Then, navigate to SmartThings on your Smart TV - it will appear in SmartThings along with your other devices. When you select the game console, SmartThings will change the TV’s source to the console’s source (such as HDMI 1) so you can begin playing. Just make sure the game console is turned on first.

Press the Home button on the TV's remote, and then navigate to and select SmartThings. Select + Add device at the top of the screen. Make sure your audio device is turned on and is in pairing mode. If it does not show up, select Refresh, and then select the device from the list when it appears.

When the Smart TV discovers the audio device, a popup message will appear that says "Would you like to play the TV's sound through this device?" To agree, select Connect. Once it connects, the Smart TV's sound will play through your audio device and you can control its volume using your phone!

If you ever need to remove the audio device, navigate to the SmartThings app on the Smart TV, and then select the device. From here, you can choose between Disconnect to temporarily disconnect the device or Deregister to completely remove it from your account.
