Connect a Samsung TV in the SmartThings app

Before you can connect your TV to SmartThings and control it remotely, you will need to make sure the SmartThings app is downloaded on your phone. Next, double check that the TV and your phone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and are both signed in to the same Samsung account.* When you're ready, you can begin connecting your TV to the app.

1. First, turn on the Smart TV you want to connect. Then, on your phone, open the SmartThings app.
2. Tap the Device tab, tap the Home icon, and then select the location where you'd like to add the TV. Tap Add (the plus sign), and then tap Add device.
3. Under the "By device type" tab, tap TV, and then tap Samsung.
4. Tap TV again, and then tap Start. Select a location and room, and then tap Next.
5. From here, select your desired TV from the list of available devices.
6. The next step will vary, depending on the model of your Smart TV. On older models you may have to input a PIN, but on newer models, select OK on the screen.
7. Once the TV has been added, use the SmartThings app on your phone to rename it, and then tap Done.

* A Samsung account is required for network-based smart services, including streaming apps and other smart features. A separate (connected) computer, mobile, or other device may be necessary to create/log in to a Samsung Account. Without an Account login, only external device connections (e.g., via HDMI) and terrestrial/over-the-air TV (only for TVs with tuners) are available. If you do not have a Samsung Account, you can easily create one here: https://account.samsung.com/membership/intro it’s free to sign up; terms apply.
