Connect Family Hub and non Family Hub fridges to SmartThings

Navigate to and open the SmartThings app on your phone or tablet.

If this is the first time you are using the app, tap Start. Then, tap Allow all the time when prompted. This will enable the app to scan for your refrigerator.

Next, tap the Device tab, and then tap Add (the plus icon). Tap Add device, then tap By device type, and then tap Refrigerator. Tap Samsung.

Tap Refrigerator, and then tap Start to begin adding your fridge to the app.

You’ll need to select a location and room for your refrigerator. When you’re finished, tap Next.

Then, open your fridge's door and press the Door Alarm button. This will unlock the temperature control panel.

Press the Fridge button until “AP” appears on the temperature control panel's display. After a few moments, your refrigerator will appear in the SmartThings app.

Once it does, you can select your Wi-Fi network and enter your information if it's a secured network. Then, tap CONNECT. We recommend connecting the fridge to the same network as the phone or tablet.

Your refrigerator will be added to the SmartThings app. Add a name for your fridge, and then tap Done. The fridge will now appear in the SmartThings app where you can remotely control some of its features and functions, like changing the temperature.

Navigate to and open the SmartThings app on your phone or tablet.

If you’ve never used the app before, tap Start, and then select Allow all the time. This will enable the app to scan for your refrigerator.

Next, tap the Device tab, and then tap Add (the plus icon). Tap Add device, then tap By device type, and then tap Refrigerator. Tap Samsung.

Tap Family Hub, and then tap Start to begin the process. Choose a location and room for the Family Hub to be registered to, and then tap Next.

On the Family Hub panel, tap Apps, and then open Settings. Tap Connections, tap Easy Connection, and then tap Connect.

Wait as the phone or tablet searches for the fridge. If the Family Hub is already registered to an account, you may be prompted to reset it - follow the on-screen instructions on the phone or tablet to do so.

Next, tap OK on the Family Hub panel, and then enter the PIN displayed on your fridge into the phone or tablet.

On the phone or tablet, choose your desired Wi-Fi network for the Family Hub, preferably the same one the phone or tablet is using. If it is a secured network, make sure the password is correct, and then tap CONNECT.

Wait for the registration to finish, add a name for the fridge if desired, and then tap Done. The Family Hub will now appear in the SmartThings app where you can remotely control some of its features and functions, like viewing the inside of the fridge.
