Please note: If more than 10 devices are connected to your router, registration may fail.

If you can't find your TV on the screen even after registration on the SmartThings app is complete, change the location and check the list of all devices.

1 Tap Device on the bottom menu and then tap the name of location.
2 When the pop-up appears, select All devices.

4 If your TV is not on the list, tap the Home icon to change a location.
5 Select another location to find your TV.
6 Check that the device appears on the screen.
7 Select All devices.
